And if it’s wasn’t for Ed it would have been more btw.

[Nick]

Or maybe we can deliver on my ask for an average actual left back?

Tiatto
Ben thatcher
Niclas jensen
Stephen Jordan

Not a midfielder- gomez, cancelo etc was gonna say Delph and zinny but would take either

[Nick]

Start Rico Lewis on Saturday please

[branny]

is cancelo playing for us or them. not entirely sure atm.

I watched an embarrassing show on City Xtra the other night, some sort of comedy show about Cancelo being the best full-back in the world. Utter shite. I contacted them, had my say. I cannot believe I am alone in thinking the bloke is a disaster.

I've called this consummate clown so many times but others are attracted by his occasional fancy dan pass. He's shit, realise it or suffer calamities time after time after time. Shocking player, shocking.

He is utter fucking shite. An absolutely dreadful player, more overrated than probably any player I've seen in 50 years watching City. That's includes Graham Baker, a player that I cannot bring myself to think too much about, so horrible was he. Cancelo is absolutely shocking. KernGhan was maybe better. Lol. I'm so angry with him, but he doesn't pick himself, Mr. Genius does.

Pep? Dreadful in-game management yet again and it's now a bit of a thing. 89 minutes and he lobs on a kid from South America. Fucking scandalous. I half expected him to put Mahrez on, so obsessed with him that he clearly is.

So another Anfield bed shitting, entirely of our own making, tin hatted by Clowncelo, cemented by Mr. Genius with his much-vainted 5 subs fantasy and it was absolutely deserved. City bottled that, 100%.

What would I have done? Grealish for Gundogan at HT, shithouse it down the left. Palmer would have been a good wild card choice late on as he actually tries to beat a man.

Mr. Genius opts for the kid in the 89th minute. Fucking appalling.

He should be nowhere near the back four. We may as well have started with Grealish and Foden wide if we were going with a back three. He scores the odd goal and gets the odd assist but his defence is shocking and half the time our attack breaks down when he gets involved. I really hope he wants to go to Real.

Mate, I'd drive him to Madrid. Absolutely appalling player but all I have seen is people falling over themselves about him. He shits the bed all the time, the worst, bigger than the schoolboy farce today, was his panicking in Madrid at 1-1. Pumped the ball up to them, they score. He's crap, maybe our complete Achilles Heel.

I’ll pay for the petrol.

VAR and the Ref:

1. Cheated us out of a goal today
2. Cheated Newcastle out of a penalty today

Why? To keep their two biggest earners relevant

It is all about the money.

[PaulieIrish]

May not be popular, but Kev was as much at fault for their goal as Cancelo. His delivery was terrible, straight into the keepers hands, and with our two CBs in their box, it was a very straightforward long ball to release Salah. Cue the Cancelo cock up. But its Kev's fault that it happened to being with...

[Original Dub]

Not impressed at all with the fact that pep didn't make changes when it's clear we needed fresher legend and a different approach.

This is on him as much as the players that didn't perform.

I can count on one had the games we deserved to lose (or at least didn't deserve to win) since pep joined, which is obviously amazing... but this was one of them.

I don't think we deserved anything.

That said, if shirt tugs in the middle of the park 5 passes back will rule out goals, the game is fucked.

If we'd gone one nil up would the game have been different?

I'd wager so

Agreed and wtf is the point of putting a sub on in 89th minuted, this from a guy always going on about five subs, fucking sick of being let down in these big games against the fucking hateful twats

[Nigels Tackle]

careful questioning the manager, lads… hants will be back soon from 12 pints of ‘numbers’ in the pub this afternoon…

[Harry Dowd scored]

Will we ever solve the LB problem

[City64]

Absolute fucking dog shit .
That’s my week fucked , brain dead plastic bin dippers in full kit mode and flags everywhere in Wigan all fucking week now .

[Nickyboy]

Grealish without shackles against Milner and we’re sorted. Fucked around with it too much again.

The decisions were odd, but to be expected.

Next time we play them maybe Pep can spend all week reminding everyone they hacked our system instead of telling us how great they are. It’s boring as fuck.

When I watch that Nunez for them I think maybe we deliberately let them look at a fake version of our scouting database

[PeterParker]

Many times I blamed Pep after games like this, but to be honest, It’s all about the players and it’s time for them to get some heat, not just Pep.

I was looking at some point in the second half, we couldn’t make a 2 m pass because they were afraid. I cannot understand what they expected and how did those murdering cunts surprise us? Same shit you see every single time, nothing new. But somehow they are shitting their pants. It’s not fucking normal, they are at a level where shit like this should not become a habit.
We are the better team on an overall, but in the past years they were better in many direct encounters. Dopey, nodopey, we failed to crush them.

We needed Walker. Pep is not to blame because he is a fucking idiot.

We lost the middle, we lost the game.

We gonna win the league. Zero chance of winning the Ucl.

Maybe, but pep is a slow learner.

He has also just learned not to tinker to steam role a piss poor rags after letting smeagle and that other chump get far too many points.

Learned in Europe after many many times vs psg and dortmund then fucked it when needed. Madrid wasn't on him.

Will take us years to win at anfield imo
