More than Caballero for certain. Sane one on one. Aguero near the end from Nolito pass. Stones missed two great chances from a central position about 6 yards out, one a header straight at Courtois. Kompany hit the bar with a looping header.

More chances than they did and we were far from great. thought Vinnie looked the business tonight and should play plenty to full test his fitness. Costa hardly had a kick.

Somehow defensively we make those little mistakes that cost us and with not scoring enough from our own chances we loose game we shouldn't. Willie had little to do tonight but should have saved the first and turned the pen away and not back to the taker. Slight deflection on the first but was he unlucky or not quite good enough?
The future is blue and very promising

Agree with a lot of this which is factual. The last bit I'm not so sure about. I still find myself scratching my head wondering if this is very promising. Chelsea over both games probably sums up why. We have taken 0 points but should have taken at least 4. Why 0? There is a lack of cutting edge about us. We create good positions on a regular basis and do too little with it. Forget all the defensive issues being talked about pep is right we are not ruthless enough in the last third. It's not one or two games its every game.

So pep has identified the problem, he's not been able to resolve it. He's carrying on playing his way in attempt to forcibly resolve it and he's not managed to do so. He won't bend or flex. So he has the summer to sort it. Who goes he decides, who comes he decides. Next season will tell us if pep is the man for the job or not.

I think Gabriel Jesus' injury has had a huge impact on our season.

It is seriously worrying if you are thinking that a 19 year old , always destined to arrive in January was supposed to be the fulcrum of any success this season !

I am sure we are all behind him.

But fuck me I expected to see a little bit more from him this season as a manager. I thought someone of his pedigrees would make “the sum bigger than its parts”. I know we have weaknesses all over the Pitch. No one in their right mind expected all our problems to be addressed in one transfer window. He as yet has shown absolutely fuck all that makes one think “wow” we are so lucky to have him. In fact I think he completely fucked up our season before it even started with the Hart situation. Then instead of admitting he made a mistake with Bravo waited until the Press started taking the piss about us conceding 14 goals from 14 first strikes on goal.

Very disappointed is an understatement.

Pellegrini got stick from some of our fans. One thing for sure the way this nightmare of a season is developing Pellegrini success with us will finally start to get the recognition he deserves. He was only an intrim manager with financial constraints imposed on him by the Spafia. Yet it looks like his achievements will emulate the golden boy at least for another season. I never expected that.

Big next season for Guardiola coming up.

Just thought I'd highlight one of Carl's many "get rid of Kompany" posts.

Watch on youtube.com

Calling Kompany, who bleeds blue, a "fucker"...

Show some respect if you want any for yourself.

Just admit that calling out Vinnie is one of your worst opinions ever.

Given his track record he could break down at any moment. I would only be of the opinion that he's past his injury problems if he can manage to stay fit for a full year.

I am shown plenty of respect for what I do and what I have , in the real world I live in. This is cyber space , whereby I couldn't give a flying fuck what people like you have to say about my posting style.

AND FYI - Im ex army .....swearing is part of the training process and it never leaves you.

So you can kindly go fuck yourself.

Well that's an improvement Carl.
See the difference putting the word 'kindly' in the sentence makes.

As MC would say, keep up the effort.

How many times have we said '' if he managed to stay fit''.

Noone with half a brain would plan our defence around him - PeP will probably keep him until his contract runs out (whenever that is) but he certainly wont plan his defence with him for the 2017/18 season.

If Pep even thinks of building his defense around Kompany , he can leave right now.

His stubborn arrogant approach has already cost us points with his refusal to accept that the defense must defend.
