***boro vs City official match thread***

[Fidel Castro]

Peps brand of football and attitude is fucking wank

[PaulieIrish]

We let in 1 more and Utd move above us FFS

[Beefymcfc]

No Silva, no Yaya, we look devoid of any creative plans it's all a little flat.

Good goal by the Beast though, with a little luck thrown in.

He's not doing himself any favours.

Players look like they can't be arsed.

Look like some are pissed off with each other, especially Kev and Serg.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

The whole set up looks wrong. Very strange selection and set up today.

Shouldn't have benched both Sterling and Sane. WTF Pep?!

They were both beyond shite on Thursday, tbf.

With Yaya and Silva missing already it's strange to drop two more regulars. I don't think he has learned that you can't fuck about in this league.

[sheblue]

Real lack of quality so far. Everyone all over the place.

[carl_feedthegoat]

I'm getting more disillusioned with football by the day. Seriously considering fucking it off and not renewing my season ticket next season

Im disillusioned with Guardiola......hes a fuckign weirdo with his set ups and personel choices.

They say its a fine line between madness and genius I think Pep's wrong side of the line!

To not put Sane and Sterling in..players who beat everyone on the wings and can also score goals over Clichy and Navas, who , apart from having basically zero chances of scoring and having small margins of success of actually delivering a fuckign cross of note,is a fuckign disgrace.

[Saul Goodman]

Really terrible first half. Middlesborough were completely comfortable.

Id take off Clichy and bring on Sane.
Navas has offered nothing because their not letting him get it onto his right and he has no left foot

I haven't enjoyed the football at all this season. The constant pissing around at the back drives me mad.

[bigblue]

Kev Navas should be off for sane Sterling.

And besides being Peps friend, what value does Arteta bring? Never top level, never part of a team fighting for championships, I don't get what he brings

[PaulieIrish]

Fear not. I've just backed Boro at 9/5. We'll draw at least now...

[Beefymcfc]

Real lack of quality so far. Everyone all over the place.

It's fucking piss-poor SB, Pep needs a good kickin for putting that side out, basically thinking it's like his other 2 league's and disrespecting those sides playing for survival.

He needs to get a grip, quickly!

The thing with him is , you just know what hes going to do.

[Original Dub]

Dog shite.

Shape is completely wrong. Pull kdb back into midfield with fern and get sterling and sane on for navas and garcia

[zabbadabbado]

Anyone know why balled Einstein decided this was the game to go to an experimental back 3.

Cant wait for this season to end has been one huge cluster fuck.

Our football would send a fucking insomniac to sleep.

[FA cup winners 2006]

Another game where the attack is completely useless. Unless there is a quick change of personnel, at best i see a draw. I just can't see that attack scoring 2 goals.

Either get yaya on for otamendi/clichy and go for a flat back four or get Sane and Sterling on for navas and clichy.

[dave watson's perm]

If this garbage continues next season he can do one. Surely the best manager in the world can adapt to any given situation. Baffling lineups, substitutions. Be interesting to see if he makes any changes at half time. The scum have dropped 2 points so we need to capitalise on it

[Sideshow Bob]

45 min I'll never get back. awful stuff.
