***City v Leverkusen CL Official Match Thread***

[KinkyKinkladze]

I know a few of you are annoyed at pep for the line up and in a way I agree, don't fuck about with a team finding some semblance of momentum. However, this lot are absolutely good enough to control and win this game. A lot of the lads out there want looking at themselves. Sav, Rudolph, bobby, ake, I'm looking at you.

Those are players he brought or kept.
Players who have a decent game per season.

Pep buys fuck all. I have no idea why people think he has any say on incoming transfers. It's been obvious for a long time that signings are made for him and it's up to him to make use of them. He might have an input on one or two but everything is sporting director stuff.

2 minutes lol

[john@staustell]

Well, complete disrespect to the opposition. What does he expect? Moron

[zabbadabbado]

At the risk of sounding like a Tin Foil Hat wearer is Pep playing savinho because he is so shit ?

[Redna]

We need a f*cking rocket up our arse.
Arrogance big time.

Lol, do you think he doesn’t have a say?
Why do you think we have such a small squad?

[john@staustell]

2 minutes lol

Did it matter? If it was 50 we wouldn't score

I am the biggest pep fan there is but do we really think he had any idea who khusanov was before we bought him? He might have had an idea about sav or marmoush but as much as he lives the game, really? Big bald cunt had these players put on him.

[Mase]

Genuinely can't believe Savio was giving a new contract. Bizarre decision on par with signing Phillips

This

[sheblue]

Well that was pathetic.

[Indianablue]

game was lost when the team sheet went up. this is on Pep We've been shite tonight, particularly in front of goal. Subs not made a difference,

I've always been in favour of playing your best side and then resting players once its won . Going about it the other way round rarely works out and usually involves finishing a game working harder .

Pep's just had his arse handed to him by a weakened Leverkusen and an inexperinced manager

[Redna]

Well that was pathetic.

Worse

[nottsblue]

The only good thing that should come from tonight is the proof a number of our fringe players aren't anywhere near good enough.

Whether we learn from this is highly doubtful but that's another story

I think given the finances of football, and how we are under the microscope, I think we're careful about our squad size and spending. I think he has a say, in so much of "ok" or "no". But he's said for a long time he is the coach, not the manager. I think there's more truth in that than assuming it's some lost in translation bollocks.

[Dub City]

Other than it’s over I’m struggling to find one positive from that game. Shite from start to finish. Shocking line up like he thinks we will just turn up and win this easy. Players look half arsed until 70 mins and then a burst of something resembling effort but fuck all quality.

As for that fucking drum and megaphone fuck off, it’s not atmosphere if need some cunt with a megaphone to tell you all what your supposed to sing.

Be a job on now to get top 8 so be the two extra games and like clock work were so tired the schedule is a problem, don’t fuck around and avoid the extra games be a better fucking idea.

Miles off doing anything this season

He chased Nico Gonzales for years - how can anyone say Pep has no say in transfers?!

[s1ty m]

Last season vibes about this. That was utterly disgraceful.

Savinho and that cameo from Cherki were embarrassing. What a pair of tarts. Marmoush is nothing.

Whoever sanctioned the non-sale of Savinho should be prosecuted. Scandalous.

Harder to shift them no they proved they’re shite eg savinho Bobb could have got some decent $€£ last summer

A man of his ego will never handle a team of players he didn’t want
