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.

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.

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.

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.
