Let's settle this.
He is shit. Always was shit and always will be shit.

His only quality is speed. That's it.


......and 30 odd goals !!


Darren Huckerby would get 30 goals in this City team

Schoolboy stuff from the manager. Horrendous blunders that have cost us yet again this season.
Blunder after blunder.


Spot on.
Only ourselves to blame.

What really grates is the sheer number of defeats this season, and even games we’ve struggled to win, that we have been the architects of our downfall. This hasn’t been a one off. Not by a long fucking chalk.

Let’s see what business we do in the summer because we have some way to go to catch the dippers

I’ve not criticised Pep at all, but this loss was his fault, chopping and changing, trying to be too smart for his own good. Jesus has a great game against RM but was completely anonymous tonight. Pep has to see that and do something. Sterling has been our best player this season but the miss is inexplicable. Jesus’ miss was more important, that would have put us in front. Hey ho, I fucking hate this competition for the simple reason it’s the pundits get out clause that we’re not the best PL team ever, which of course we are. Cnuts.
All we need is composure and as good as Laporte is in most games, when it really fucking matters he falls short every time. I’m pissed off right now

I think many of you Sterling lovers have short memory.
A little reminder of who we are dealing with.

One thing is to support the club and the other is not to understand we have some shit players. If we see only 30 goals and forget the other 97 misses, then we truly are like Pep.
As Mase pointed out Huckerby above, we long passed that day. We either act like a top club and solve our issues or we will continue to fail.

Sancho, as much I dislike would have scored that. Because he is not bottler.

When you are shit and have a shit day, you score those chances.

Laporte with analysis was fucking shite against Madrid, he was as shaky as fuck. Not a big game player in my opinion.

I'm not and have never been Sterlings biggest fan however to say Sancho scores that is just nonsense. You may as well stick up a gif of a keeper saving shot at him and say Ederson would not have saved that- it amounts to the same thing

Sometimes I miss old proper football.
When a retired footballer had to find some way of living after the legs were gone.
When admission was affordable for a missfit.
When every goalkeeper whore a green jersey.
When there was one, maybe two straws of grass in the box come May.

I am not even 1% impressed with Sancho, don't get me wrong.
My comparision with him was that they are let's say, almost at the same level, more experience in Sterling's favour. My point was that Sancho and many top players that are at a big level, are not bottlers. He is. You cannot trust him in key moments.
For Sterling this type of miss is as common as it can be.

Imagine him in the Aguero moment.

My final point is this......our club hierarchy need to stop our players giving press releases, saying we’re going to do this and going to do that. It ALWAYS WORKS AGAINST US. Shut the fuck up and just get on with your preparation. Be humble and be glad you’re being paid a posh house every week.

Dortmund are not expected to win the Champions league or even their league, he's not on £300k a week. Different pressures, once he's in similar situation, only then we can start comparing. not defending Sterling but he's under alot of pressure to deliver. Sancho isn't the best example but I get your point

Sterling is ok. Won enough games. But I do get the frustration with his flaky finishing.

But tonight is on pep. We can’t blame anything else.

Remember the days when Mancini used to sub a forward (while losing) for a defender, then bring an additional forward into the game later. And bang, City wins by the end of the game. It was like Nasri out for De Jong, so Yaya can move further forward, while Barry shuttles behind him and De Jong protecting any counters. This tactic frustrated most of us as the logical sub we used to demand was Johnson for Nasri to create more penetration into the box. Yet Mancini (for those with longer memories) used to win tactical games with the right substitutions to the frustration of many including myself. Ohh and I really miss how solid he made our defence.. Back to the present, Pep's lineup and luck of tactical substitutions cost us the game tonight.

He is useless and always has been. He cant link the play. He fucks up our attacks. He has everyone putting it on a plate for him and even then he fucks up. He always goes missing in big games. He always gets picked no matter how shit he plays. Sane has left because he couldn't get minutes over this Shithead and Mahrez and Bernado could go a similar way.

He has some marketing appeal so if there is any club absolutely mad enough to put up the money, then get rid ASAP.

I've said it numerous times, our front 3 all need to be clinical. Sterling misses chance after chance. Even in the 4th minute he had a chance but didn't have the skill or brain to finish and copped out with a shit pass to Jesus. Any top player would have finished it. We cant carry Sterling any longer

He had a lot of faults, and some very bad ones, but he was the best manager at changing a game mid way through, by subs or change of formation.
He could see what was wrong and change it, more often than not it worked.

He wasn’t a stubborn, arrogant, egomaniac in those instances and would admit he got his initial selection wrong.
