Carl demanded, fucking hell Sheikh Mansoor, are you not listening and Carl says if it wasn't for Haaland we'd be mid table. The same Haaland Carl said we should have sold and kept Alvarez. Comedy gold.


There’s been plenty on the match threads — constant moaning about how we play and how Baldy sets us up like it’s a training drill every week. Maybe try watching before running your mouth off !
Without Haaland, we would be mid-table. You can call that BS but the numbers don’t lie.
As for “comedy gold” — mate, you’re performing at the Palladium with this level of denial - you are 100% comedy gold when it comes to defending the indefensible.
So before trying to be a smart arse cunt , maybe deal in reality: we’re a one-man goal machine away from looking like Arsenal in a dry spell.

There's always plenty on the match threads until we take the lead then it goes as quiet as Alvarez at The Emirates the other night.
If you can't see the difference between us this season and last then it's not me not watching.
Lost 3 games this season all of which we did last but improved against rags, Arsenal, Brentford and the 1st 3 CL games. FACTS


Consistency is still a major fucking issue, and that’s a fact ! Most fans on match threads are left face-palming, seeing the same old problems week after week. Pep’s the main culprit here as yet again, he fucked up the starting 11 again , Just when you think he’s nailed the lineup and given us reason to be optimistic, he fucks it up and ruins it the next game. Fans were shaking their heads at that team selection. It’s the same story as last season - copy and paste .

Most see it - you plainly don’t .

You could've stopped here.

Savinho can give us a great 90 minutes, as can Doku, Bobb, Reijnders and Nunez. But not a one of them has shown the consistency we need to be a top top team. Honestly, we got the same from Dunne, Barton and Petrov.

The ones who can bring it week in, week out are match winners and we went from having Sergio, Silva, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Yaya and Sane to having Foden, Rodri and Haaland.

Oh and did I read someone criticise you for wanting to keep Alvarez? That would have been another match winner we shipped.

You whinge like fuck at every starting 11. Whinged about Ake for Gvardiol even though Gvardiol had massively fucked up the game before.
We're playing Prem then CL, Do you really think he should play the same 11 every time.

I expected inconsistency this season due to the churn of players and the far younger age profile of the squad. I think we're actually performing better than expected in that respect and like for like we're better off than last season in almost all corresponding fixtures.

I agree that we all thought the midfield looked lightweight yesterday, but didn't Nico take a heavy knock in midweek? Maybe the medical staff advised he wasn't capable of a full match? O'Reilly has been class, but Gvardiol is a better option than him as a LB needed to cover Stones stepping in midfield - also O'R has played a lot of minutes and is still very young. He's becoming a key player and we can't afford him getting any serious injuries or burnt out.

I think the huge injury issues from last year are a big psychological factor and we've not exactly been lucky on that front this year either.

We're only 9 games in and not that far off top spot - things aren't all doom and gloom. Only worry is Arsenal boring everyone to death and winning every game 1-0 from here on in.

We don't have as many ready made match winners as in the past but we have bags of potential for some of the younger players to become match winners by the end of this season and in the future. We've not even been able to get Marmoosh and Cherki onto the pitch properly this season yet. If we can stay within 2 wins of the top going into the new year we'll only get stronger and stonger

There's a lot to agree with in here. Biggest issue continues to be the boss man. Most thought the starting midfield would be overrun. I'm beyond pointing out the fucking obvious obsession of playing non fullbacks at fullback and that affects the wingers . At present, we are better than we were last year but nowhere near challenging for any trophy apart from league cup and Swansea will be no easy game on weds. Work in progress certainly but is that enough

Looks like Tin tin's career is over. Did his hamstring taking a penalty yesterday. Needed to be helped off the pitch. Did not look good.

Ultimately we just need to play our best team. Not having our best LB playing because Stones needs to step into midfield is a disgraceful decision. Just play a fuckin proper defensive midfielder.

Yesterday didn't need to happen, but it did because of the team selection and set up. It's okay if we lose, just not when we didn't have to lose

Exactly. No-one has an issue with a loss but self-inflicted that can be avoided without unforced team changes piss most off as there is no need whenwe do have the options
