Early days but we don't look hungry. Strolling around when it's 0-0 is not a good sign.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

It's not hard to judge him. He was absolute dogshit and has been for a few years now. How are some so blind to this. His inclusion completely fucked up the cl final

We will have close to 300 corners this season

I'd be stunned if we score from 5 of them

We never seem to improve on our weak points ie corners, penaltys, I thought Pep was a great coach.

First time in over ten years we’ve failed to score on the opening game. Embarrassing

We could have played three days, still, we would have scored the equalizer.

Thank you for everything, Pep, but I am done with him.
No kneejerk reaction, no after-match agony, just a simple idea. For me, a manager that fails to accept and solves his mistakes is a manager that I will never accept.
We are one of the best teams in the world, however, we are not capable of taking a simple corner kick for two years now.
We are one of the best teams in the world, however, you as a manager cannot accept our left back is a waste of skin and you use him annoying your fans, players and board.
We are one of the best teams in the world, however, you, as a manager, refuse to reinvent yourself.

I've said earlier this month I expect a terrible season, but I am really tired of him. I accept teams beating us properly, I cannot accept us losing a game in the absolute same matter every time.
I cannot remember our last defeat that was not caused by a managerial brainfart. I genuinely can't

THIS! I find watching City lately agonizing frustrating.

Pep just doesn't know how to change a game when his initial plan doesn't work.

The manner of our defeats are the same every time.

Looking forward to the post-match interview: "I'm so so proud of the players today. We did an amazing performance. I'm so so happy"

We looked miles away from where we need to be.
It's only the first game and a difficult away one as well.
We will improve.

What worries me most is that when the team was announced 90% of us knew we’d lose. So how can the best manager in the world not see that?

How do you explain we still haven't scored a single goal at theirs?


This is not even close to the regular side that Pep wants to play and many have not trained nor played together.

We have no striker, and Jesus and Bernardo are not here because they want to be.

Our bench today could win the league, and that isn't including Foden.

Pep warned us this would happen and it's clear as day this was going to be a risk.

Spurs were also really damn good.

Son is a top top player.

We should follow Chelsea's blueprint on occasions, doesn't matter how big you are, if it's not working time to move on and bring in a new manger with new ideas
