Walker is fucking poison

Who plays him week in and week out , dumb dumb !!

Who would you play instead Mongo?

I know you hate pep but come on, there's a little more to it than that on its own

Any 15 year old over walker. Hes a shit cunt

He’s a shit lazy cunt. Strolling back on the second goal. Real captain material that lad

[johnny crossan]

We get worse as the game goes on, old legs stop working, no subs - same story every game.

[johnny crossan]

Wow. This is just mind blowingly shite on so many levels.

I genuinely don't know what we do from here

play Kova on Sunday for a start - Eddy has conceded 17 goals in his last 6 games btw.

Gundogan: It’s obvious what is going wrong
Ilkay Gundogan on TNT Sport:

"[Confidence] is a big part of it and that’s a mental issue. When we lose an action or a ball you can see us drop immediately and lose our rhythm. Teams can break our rhythm with the smallest things, not having to do much. It has such a big affect on us.

"We have to do the simple things as good as possible. Even in a game if you miss the ball by doing the simple things, you can get confidence back. In crucial moments we are doing the wrong things.

"We know exactly what is going wrong, we know the reasons. We haven’t played bad, create chances, but we missed to score and if you give away one chance and they score it’s not easy to come back.

"It’s obvious what is going wrong, it’s just trying to find that switch to turn things around. Even if we’re not getting the results, I don’t think we’re far off which maybe sounds a little stupid, but that’s what I feel.

"If we don’t click, it’s going to be tough. Only thing we can do now is for every single individual to question themselves to do better, to sacrifice more and to contribute to the team so we can collectively get better.

Think they are talking about two different games

“We played well”

Mentally unstable 100%

[Sparklehorse]

Played golf today with a City fan,older than me plenty of years in, his point although he said may be contraversial, was that we are a better team without Haaland.
I tend to agree. Can't argue that he gets us goals but i agreed, i said we are one dimensional.

One strong attack and just like that we are one goal down. On attacker against 4 and he gets a head on it.

Shite defending . Is anyone really fucking surprised

I would agree if we had Julian at hand….but guess what, we sold him and he’s now scoring regularly elsewhere ??

[Sparklehorse]

Feel Ederson should have done better although he parried the initial volley well.

That ball did not completely cross the line, that’s cheating.

The image they showed on TV suggested it did cross the line.

[Sparklehorse]

Made no changes. Watched as the inevitable happened. He hasn't got a clue what to do. Plain as day. At this point, he needs to make a decision. Really does.

100% . If he can't see the problem, he is the problem

[Sparklehorse]

Walker is a joke and playing him is a fuck off to fans and other players.
A joke

Doku wins the joke trophy tonight. What a shit show from him.

……no Doku was ok, where was Haaland when he crossed the ball 3 m from the line for a tap in and he inexplicably moved away from the obvious. Where is the Foden of old ????

We take the high line you take the low line and defend like your life depends on it, so let’s call the whole thing off. We have to do something different, I don’t mind losing so much at least if we try. But this constant, and I mean every game this season, tippy tappy football 10m outside the box and never playing the ball into the box is fucking madness.

How could it see? No clear camera angle. TBH I don't really care, JUVE deserved their win. We didn't do anything to get a result. The emphasis on possession football, completely obscures the fact that we are not threatening the opposition. Attempts on goal tell the story. We are dull. We have gone backwards, we have an old squad and our new blood hasn't been better than the players they replaced. In addition our management brains have let go the talents in our academy. At the moment we have Rico Lewis. The rest have been sold or they sit for years on the bench. Foden our great success story has done a Rashford and is having a crap season. I'd even sell Haaland. A few years ago we had a team that was exciting, Aguero, Silva, Kompany, Zabba, we watched magic happen. Sorry to say Pep is done, his style of play is boring, his game management non existent and he has allowed this team to wither on the vine, probably because he doesn't want to be here along with 6 or 7 of this squad

100% agree but we know Pep is all about possession. However are current team incapable of controlling games as before. Bernado cant cross, walker cant cross the others are reluctant. Kev and Phil about the only ones who will take a shot from distance. We have that giant in the box and don't use him. Dont want to be a team that just lumps into the box but it has its uses. Instead of a cross or shot we play sideways, sideways, backwards, backwards so bloody slow and boring to watch.

I don't blame Ederson when that bellend on the right side is letting every cross in.
