We can still end the season with 3 trophies.
Yes a derby loss is very hard but let's not be spoilt kids.

Whilst I agree with your comments it has to be said this consistent fucking about with the team is not conducive to consistent high level performance. We were poor against Villa, scraped through against Wednesday who got stuffed by five at Brentford, we have not scored more than two since January, playing people out of position, for example Sheffield United not laden with household names are a good team, because the manager maintains a consistent body of a team, sadly we do not.

Ok but there is nothing wrong with ongoing evaluation

Right, i've calmed down a bit now. I'm not going to get hysterical about being beat by them. It happens, after all Sven's team did the double over them, and we were miles off challenging for the top spot. Let them have their moment of glory, let them treat finishing fifth as a major triumph, it'll just mean that when they realise how far behind the very top they are, their bitterness will be sweeter for us.

Spoilt kids? We’ve just lost three times in one season to one of the worst United team for years. Did you pay to go to OT yesterday? Are the ones that did allowed to act like “spoilt kids”?

We were poor. But you could see that on the team sheet to be honest. Not too long ago we could play without any of our 'big players'.

Now we are back to needing KDB, Silva is going over the top, Aguero has gone over the top, Zinchenko is absolute pants, Fernandino should still be playing in midfield but has to play in defence because they are all shit without Laporte.

I can't see a succession plan for Kompany, Aguero or Silva. Foden is a handy little player but totally different in style from Silva so anyone who thinks he can 'replace Silva' in the long term is a raving idiot.

Hopefully we can beat Arsenal and I'll feel better on Thursday morning but right now I'm not optimistic about our future beyond, hopefully, a couple of pots this season.

Oh and as for Razza.......................................................

Don’t like when Pep takes the piss out of teams that have just beaten us because they play long ball. It works against us so why not focus on doing something to stop it?

What on earth was wrong with Sterling and Bernardo yesterday, top quality players in absolutely terrible form, and both of them in terrible form for a long while now.

Sterling - last 15 consecutive matches hes had just 3 shots on target ( Zero goals ) and not one fucking assist yet the Manager thinks he should play every fucking game.

Can someone educate me as to why Baldie plays him game after game as hes obviously right in doing so......after all he won a treble so he has to be right.

This question is for the PeP apologists...you know who you are.!
