Just nothing there, fucking get 1 goal in 25 sec and then fucking nothing, our passing was woeful all the game, passes going astray all the time just shit, did we play our best 11, well we have done a lot better without this starting 11, we was so slow tonight we have fast players and yet we was so fucking slow, pass pass pass , pass back pass forward pass back pass on the halfway line pass back, well I hope every1 including pep sees this is shit all the time, when you are 2-3 goals up yes but against any1 in this league it can turn, and im getting fed up with all this pass pass in our own area , it bite us on the arse tonight and will do again, sometimes we need to just get it away but no, lets give it back to our goalie and then piss about with it, well you carnt get away with it all the time you bunch of cunts

Pep's woken up I see

No good just sitting there with his head in his hands. Proper leadership is needed.

Well done to Newcastle though, they played to a plan and win through.

They played to a plan. Rushed forward in the first 15 seconds. Lost the ball and we punished them.

I doubt their plan was we would be so pathetic afterwards.
We were atrocious. None of them looked up to the challenge at all.
No character shown whatsoever.

We gifted them two goals.

Their plan was to keep the score down and see what happens if they are only a goal behind late in the game.


We did the rest.

Newcastle didn't have a plan for football , but some over confident passing in defense gave them their goals .

We didn't play well today ,get over it !

I can't believe what i read on the last two to three pages here . Some serious bile coming out.

Something is not right with Pep and tin tin ,

Perhaps Madrid are after him ?

Something definitely strange with Pep tonight.
Didn’t look motivated at all for long periods of that game.

It’s weird when you can see the game going away early doors a manager of peps status doesn’t address it earlier.

a good point to make ,danger of getting lost amongst the reactionary comments .

I didn't understand why he thought it was necessary to get tin tin off. Surely, you go balls out and kick their arses .

I’m just not sure how he could’ve changed it. We had our best eleven on the pitch who just seemed bereft of any ideas or urgency. Tin tin was one soft tackle away from a red card.

[Nick]

Players as bad as the fans predicting big wins based on the 11 ( which I called !!)

B Silva should be first on the sheet.

[PeterParker]

They are loses in this game, you, as a fan, accept this, but then is shit like this.

There are fans that travel to fucking Moscow, Newcastle, Bali to see this club, to support it. We have one of the best away crowd in the league and you, as a footballer and staff perform like this?
This is a lack of respect for your fans, the ones that go and sit in the fucking rain and sing and after a night like this feel sick.

Did any of them learned anything from the Centurion Season? Genuine question.
Instead of going to the next level, they went backwards. The next ballon of gold Sane got kicked out the World Cup because of his arrogance. Got kicked out after he was named the best young footballer in the league. Let's not kid ourselves with Low and other scenarios. It was all 100 % on him and his arrogance and you can see that in his game. Talent as seen in just a few, ego and arrogance as we've seen in many.
Sterling, when he will grow a pair? Never.
KDB and Silva? Fantastic footballers, but who will never be leaders.
Aguero? Does he still want to be here?

And Guardiola. Life with Guardiola is very similar to Groundhog Day with Bill Murray. Every season we see a moment that makes us believe. We had three: vs Barcelona, vs Chelsea and vs Scouse this year. When you think we will build on that, comes everything crashing down in key moments: Monaco, Scouse/Filth last year, Holiday season and Today - this year.

We need to rant about this because everyfuckingone of us care about this club and we need to face the truth in the face and admit that we are bottlers and we lack hunger and desire. The desire to bring fucking mountains in the fucking head of your opponents.

You look at Walker, and the cunt has already dug out City fans and the club before he even got here.

He comes, gets his Premier League winners medal, which he wouldn't have got staying at Spurs, and just isn't arsed one bit.

Fuck him off in the summer please.

The first time I've thought Walker was our worst player and brought nothing to the game.

Walker is a busted flush. He's even developed a Mahrezian backwards pass. Horrible player, IMHO. Pep improves players, but not him. Looked the best RB on the market when we bought him. He's been getting worse. He's now a total liability.

To be fare, he was playing them offside for one of the goals but it wasn't him who played the pass into Fernandinho, and Fernandinho had enough time to play the ball.

One of them nights where I thought It was the midfield were the problem. Fern and Dave were gash compared to their usual self and Kev was hampered after the yellow card. Even Sane and Sterling were well off. The fact that Sergio had dropped so deep says it all.

Like I said, credit to Newcastle, The Fat Waiter (wish I hadn't called him that)) organised it well.

It is not mandatory to make substitutions, it's a 'sickness' of the modern game.

Today's substitutions had immediately a bad effect on the team.

[iwasthere2012]

I thought Pep’s interview afterwards was bizarre.
He didn’t know what the guy was talking about when asked about Kev getting booked and the 2nd goal in the first half.

Didn’t remember the incident.

Was that before Arteta woke him up?

Don't think KDB can be banned retrospectively. Acting that bizzare on tv on a situation that has no trial is ... bizzare.
He should had been sent off. Saying otherwise on the post-match interview would be mad.

But forgetting the incident? Really?

For clarification he was asked was the first half booking of Kev a pivotal moment.

He looked totally bemused.

Then reminded about it and the goal being disallowed. The interviewer didn’t actually mention the possible 2nd yellow.

He looked flustered. Someone out of camera said something to him and he then dismissed the incident still looking confused about it and said it didn’t matter.

He actually said he didn’t know about Kev getting booked first half which hopefully is just something getting lost in translation, because it’s bullshit.
Kev being taken off was because of the risk of s red, right after that foul second half. Bloody sure he knew.

The first half incident played a huge part in the outcome of the game in more ways than one. Not just the disallowed goal.

The point looked lost on Pep.

[Frankmanc]

Strolled about like a bunch of fucking fannies tonight , diabolical title gone . Time to re gather and get our shit together for the CL , FA Cup and fucking turn up for the Carabao Cup final .

[Spurge]

So quotes like typical city and title gone. If we've learnt anything in this modern era its that these phrases do not go hand in hand.

It aint over folks but it wasnt a good night.

Admire you optimism Spurge and you wouldn’t put it past Liverpool throwing yet, but honest.......
No. Can’t see it. We’ve let them off the hook again and shown them we’re weak.
They’ll thrive on this.

Do you know the horrible part of it is this could get so much worse.

It won’t matter a jot if we win the CL (we won’t) and they go on and win the PL breaking the 100 points mark on the way.

FFS It could happen. One year after the record could go.


C’mon Leicester.

Play like that and we wont get further in any of them.

[PaulieIrish]

Two shots on target against us, two goals. Reminds me of the bravo days.

Here’s a question. As good as I think Ederson is, how many save does he actually make. We allow very few shots and target, and his distribution is phenomenal, but how good is he at saving shots.

We had enough chances today to win. Razzer missed a sitter. 2nd disallowed goal was a mystery to the Bein guys - apparently no reason why ref should have asked to wait for whistle. But the reality is we did not finish the job and we paid dearly for it. We really only started to have urgency after they scored. Blame players and blame pep.

In other news, I backed Newcastle at 45/1 after we went one up.for those who know me, I regularly bet on things like that because I NEVER win, so it’s like a good luck thing to know it will not happen. Sadly tonight I broke my run.

[iwasthere2012]

I’ve just seen the full post match press conferences and In fairness to Pep, I think the earlier interview may well have been a bit lost in translation as he got stuck answering s similarly phrased question in the presser.

He did answer more clearly that Kev being taken off had a bit to do with the risk of a second yellow but didn’t blame the result on the refs strange decision in the first half.

It was s case of; I know what the problems were and have spoken about it many times to the team but sometimes this happens.

They’re not robots, kind of attitude.

Plenty of points to play for. I love these players tads yada yada etc etc.

Fair enough run of the mill defence of his team.
Behind it all I’d say he’s fuming.
