[Justified logic]

Win 4-0 on Tuesday and everything will be forgotten.

Big ask but nail on head.

Yet we ship another 3 today, this time against a shite United side. So make that 7-3 to forget everything. Yeah, like that is going to happen. Face facts. When we are challenged our defence crumbles. Guardiola just does not do defence. Repeat. Guardiola. Does. Not. Do. Defence. And we will nothing without Messi.

[branny]

Cheer up fellas. We won derby's when we were shit.

[Sparklehorse]

We will not be allowed to beat Liverpool, just like we were not allowed to beat the rags today. Such blatant bias shown by the ref it hurts..... cunts !!

[Swales4ever]

Can only maintain, doubled down, clear cut impression I've received from Wednesday disgrace: if not even a walk of glory such as this domestic season is enough to grow some character and greed attitude in these lads... it's still a long way to go to a MCFC dinasty.

Because I don't want to get abusive to players I've worshipped for whole season, the only partial excuse I can see is that the flip coin of Pep's footie is that you cannot take the foot off gas, for that control is the main defensive set up.
and as I said early on the season, talking the importance of rotation, Pep's football is very demanding in terms of focus and mental fatigue, which was sorting me early in October, may be just know be exacting a great toll.

Still... irrespectively of the decisive influence of Agent Atkinson, that should have not taken any by surprise for not even La Liga is as bent and corrupt as EPL when it comes to protect the Munich Royals from humiliation, making exact reference to Carl's FT rant above, if Pep may not be fully connected with the Mancunian soul, most of the players surely must be aware of what the derby means to folks who have to breath the rags poisoned air for a whole life and kept the gas at full throttle until the game was frozen beyond doubt.
And to make it even worse, while Klopperty's gegenfreakshite has traditionally posed problems to Pep's sides, these Rags garbage are toothless rats and were already put on self commiserating mindset, no matter of Atkinson's early efforts.

let's hope this second, major profession embarrassment, shall help them to clutch at straws and find energies and mental resources to bounce back in style and save the Chump campaign, getting eliminated by that Scousers thugs would hurt more than recent beats I got.

But he does know how to attack.

I don’t regularly post but read here everyday and for anyone to blame today’s defeat on pep already had an agenda against him and had made up their mind.
He was completely wrong on Wednesday night with his selection but to call him out today for this loss is plain fucking wrong.

Too many players in that team take the plaudits when we’re flying high but haven’t got the fucking balls to step up when the backs are against the wall.....and unfortunately never fucking will

There are many who want to be proved right, however wrong they are.

I'm amazed DiscPants ain't back.

I have a serious problem with that post gaudy.
We tried until the end. We hit the post in injury time.
We had a stonewall penalty not given along with a red card.
We tore them apart.
We had a ref that gave us nothing - I mean nothing - yet we could have won in a canter.

It is to easy to write posts like that. It does not stack up with what I saw today.
I think the players gave there all today and were robbed by the ref (poor defending and bad finishing aside).

Well your last sentence summed up what I said really. I don’t think we were robbed, decisions were bad but we were our own downfall.
The game should have been over after we went two up.
The players bottled it. Sterling again missed 2 sitters. Score them and we’re all on here licking peps sack saying that we’ll score 5 on Tuesday .

Defence is a shambles and always was, just that when teams are so hell bent on defending against us they forget if they attack us we’re fucked- not rocket science.

In my rage, and I am pissed off I still try and be logical but people on here panicking about us not winning the league I’m glad I only know ye through this and never have to meet ye in person

[iwasthere2012]

Only caught ten minutes of this fiasco today, but I’m stuck here in a Scouse love fest and have one unmerciful pain in my bollox.
Missus unhappy with me.

Thanks Pep.
Can’t see Tuesday being any better.

It's wrong in'it mate.

The atrocious ref aside, shipping three goals and dropping a two goal lead against that shower of shit is fucking abysmal. I'm too pissed off to post, really. Fucking bottlers the lot of them. The 3-2 goal was criminal defending. Fuck off!

[Nick]

Devils advocate but how much did we spend on defence ?? And there all numpties.

[City64]

Short and sweet just got home after a long day ........

Stupendous first half and bouncing on cloud 9 should of been 5 up despite despicable officiating from the twat ref and the cunt linesman near me.
Disgraceful switched off defending 2nd half against a very expensive abject Utd bunch of mercenaries who had the ref playing for them they prob need the cunt to be fair . Think we saw the corrupt side of English football rear its ugly head again ? SKY PRODUCTION DICTATING EVENTS YET AGAIN ???
Fucked off straight home via a fucking rammed Piccadilly Station ............proper deflated football is shit and fucking stinks , nite nite !

[london blue 2]

Need to stop the knee-jerk threads and keep the ranting to the match thread. Spoilt lot we are. Loads slagging pep even though he's delivered arguably the best footy this country has ever seen.

It's a shit run and today was a monumental fuck up. But in the grand scheme of things today was gonna be a stretch in between champs league.

Let's get back to business over the next couple of weeks and get this league sewn up.

[Hutch's Shoulder]

Some will blame Raheem, some the defence, some Pep, some the ref, some will even say it is due t missing their lucky rituals before the game. All these played a part, but I mainly blame the two twats I saw in half-and-half scarves before the game. Lucky for them that I didn't see them after it.

[sheblue]

It's not a disaster it's not a even a mess.
Calm down.
We won league cup we will take the PL.
We won one derby and lost the other.

Would have gladly accepted all of that in August as being the seasons lot.

We’d have settled for the same as what Pellers won in his first season....? You might have mate but not all of us would.

[aristation]

just seen the tackle on aguero again how did the ref miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's acceptable for a season then. Is two trophies not enough?

For Pep’s pedigree and where we want to be heading - I’d say the league fuckin cup and prem isn’t enough no. We’re not the same liddle City that we were 20 years ago.

If we put up a fight and give our all and lose then fair enough. This week we’ve not done either.

[The Maine Man]

Tuesday is a big ask but I'll save judging Pep until after that. Pull that off and we're back on for a treble. Fuck it up and we're bottlers. Over to you PG.

[iwasthere2012]

I’ve no right to criticise anyone or anything about today as I didn’t see it, but Christ I’m pissed and so f@cking sick of football at the moment.
Surrounded by a Liverpool love fest and nothing to offer back really unless our team pull their fingers out of their arses next week.

This is the pits, spoilt brat that I am.


The missus still hasn’t caught up with me.
