Why does he need to chat to his bird right after the match the mincer.

Also Kev is not playing up to what he should at the moment. Tries to turn and meg people too often resulting in us having to defend, which we can't do.

Fern needs to return to DM, as he's pretty much the only person who can do what Pep's tactics demand in that position.

Mahrez has incredible skill, but just doesn't fit in with the team that well. His rhythm of play is all wrong and slows the play down too often.

Gundo plays some nice balls and keeps possession, but has no fight and always plays at testimonial pace.

Otter has become a complete spaz and liability.

Sterling needs a 2 week rest or holiday to sort out his mind, just going through the motions at the moment. Same could be said about Bernie though

Walker, Zinch, and Sergio were the only people today who can hold their head up after today. Sure Sergio missed chances, but a few of those wouldn't have been considered chances for anyone but him

You mean trying to make goal scoring opportunities ,or like the dick head Spuds defenders in their own box? That we didn't capitalize on.

Trying to create something all the time, Kev had a good game today.

I really don’t know how you can say that. He was as shit as the rest. Including sterling. I love Kev but I’m starting to think pep still doesn’t know his best position.

Not sure what’s with De Bruyne at the moment, he’s even been fluffing 5 yard passes. However, it’s not just him, it’s through the whole team and i have wondered for a while if the last couple of seasons have been taking their toll.


Kev just doesn't look as dynamic as usual and it has to be a fitness issue.


Well , would you pass the ball to Mahrez knowing that it's basically a waste of time ?

Perhaps when the hacking scandal comes out, dippers will look what they are, heard there is a media blackout on this for legal reasons, also or will unravel shortly.

I just have the feeling City are going to do something "Massive" in the transfer market this summer. Mbappe, young Haaland and pulling the contractual rights on Sancho ?

Maybe Peps hoping Madrid will be in for Sterling ? Since we now know Sterling will miss the first Madrid game.

Chicken mushroom and leek pie. But topped with cheesy mashed spuds rather than pastry.

Mahrez is the Rodney Marsh purchase of this generation.

Not needed, too expensive and means we have to change the team around to suit him.

Was rushed back too soon to play in a match he wasn’t needed as much and now he’s knackered.

From scratch. In the oven to brown off the ridges make by forking the mash. If its worth doing its worth doing well
