[South Stand Balti]

Peps brand of football and attitude is fucking wank

He's not doing himself any favours.

It's early days yet for Pep but he rates Bravo. Can't help worrying about that.

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.

eloquently put

but why is this happening - is our manager a complete egomaniacal fool?

[phips]

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

the thing is, at the end of Pep's time at Barca I remember thinking that their football was awful to watch and horribly, horribly boring. it was just a bunch of sideways and backwards passing.

it sounds absurd now given how good Barca still are but i could not stand watching them at the end of his time there and i think that was when people starting saying Pep's tiki-taka football was dead

Does Navas give Pep free “Blow Jobs” ?

Can’t think of any other explanation for his inclusion.

Is certainly isn’t for his ability to find a City player with his crossing.

[petrov]

Today is completely on Pep, players have no clue what they are doing in this formation and set up. Trying to shoehorn in Jesus, didn't learn from the way we drifted off shoehorning in Gundo.

Jesus and Kola off at half time. Sane and Sterling in, back to 4-1-4-1 / 4-3-3 please. This is a huge opportunity to put United and Arsenal to bed and we're making a mess of it.

Clichy must be joining in the suck fest as well then.

[Dimples]

we are winning on stats - possession 67%.
some people are never happy.

[Cocacolajojo]

Does anyone know how long Silva's out? Is he expected to return before the end of the season?

[dazby]

Totally shit first half. Come on lads. Create! Beat a player.

[johnny crossan]

abject display, surely we can only play better but no changes at half-time from our genius manager

Both have been Shite all season just don't see what he expected them to bring as wing backs. Neither can cross a decent ball. Big 45 mins ahead they will just drift further back now to hold their lead. We haven't tested their keeper once not good enough all over pitch.

Fuck me. "Man City have not won away from home in the PL when loosing at half time since 1995."

It's not all on him. at one point when he had the ball aguero, Jesus and fern were all standing like fucking statues in the box and surrounded by boro players. what's he's supposed to do??

[dick dastardley]

Tippy tappy bullshit as usual its all getting a bit boring now zzzzz

[nottsblue]
