I have seen Ron Healey,Keith Macrae, Eike Immel and Martyn Margetson. But no matter how bad they were, I've never seen a keeper for us who is incapable of making a save.

Pep has obviously made a lot of mistakes, however I'm still backing him.

And this smiling Arabic assassin is intent on stealing all the treasures they've nicked off everyone else, and pulverising them into commercial and footballing oblivion as he does so."

Not good enough never will be. He will get peters, but others go missing and fuck all said. Let's be fair some of the best players in the world were shocking today, Aguero if he is not scoring is a passenger. We need a world class forward to either force him into week in week out performances or replace him, we need world class defender or 4 plus a keeper fit for purpose.

Richard Keys has tweeted that he can see Pep walking away from City and I may have to agree. I don't think he's got a fight in him. Like his team, he's talented but lacks backbone.

Zab in the midfield says it all. Sane wide with DB in the middle...I'm just saying Pep ya hurting me.
Gundogan, Fern are very much missed. There is no one ready to fill their shoes and since Pep's not bending in terms of the system the teams breaking. I'm all for sticking to the plan as this is a work in progress, but losses like that are not permitted. I cant understand why we don't play direct as we did against Barcelona from time to time. Due to injuries age and lack of the talent required, the front office and Pep must make at least two loan signings before the end of the window.

Richard Keys is a prize plonker. Not for a second do I think Pep lacks backbone but no doubt he ( and the players) got it horribly wrong today. maybe the attacking players selected were ok for that part of the job ( although it didn't show) but to play with no defence is just crazy.Or at least a defence with nobody in front to protect.

Zaba and Yaya as effectively our holding two players is beyond a joke. Almost seems like Pep has listened to voices saying he shouldnt change the team too much rather than realising WHU were awful and changes were needed.

It's looked wank with those two in the side. Gundogan is not a top player by any stretch

Gundo has always been injured. It doesn't matter whether he is good or not if he never plays. He looked OK to me but that's all. Whoever bought him is a proper brain dead fucker. Loads of us questioned the wisdom of signing another crock. Agent Spafia again for me.

We were that poor today that the ref only had do ignore one clear-cut penalty for us.

And has anybody ever seen Bravo make a fucking save? I mean, just one? Ever?

No. He's terrible. He's Margetson bad, actually, he's worse. He is a traffic cone and an absolute liability. The genius that Pep is figured he was his best option in goal then, eh? Well Pep, fuck you if that's your thinking, quite literally, fuck you.

I'm just steaming angry with the shite we get most weeks. I'm short on any ideas though but there are some decent posters on here that I'd trust more than Sticky Buggerstain or whatever he is called, the talentless shitpiss. Fucking 4-0 against that bunch of bastards. Oh fuck off.

I'll never understand the tolerance for Sterling. 50m. Just, wow. Not his fault today but he is in capsule a great example of the downgrading of players we have bought since Sticky got his mitts on the purse. Mancini bought brilliantly, just saying.

Rant over. Ooh, a bottle of wine...

I think the main thing for me about Mancini is when he came here he knew straight away our defence wasn't the best and he focused on that and got it absolutely top. He worked on it straight away and we had a few games were we didn't play amazing attacking football but we got the win and the clean sheet.

Pep's known he was coming here for years now. That was always the plan. Yet he hasn't prepared for anything but 'his way'. He obviously hasn't looked at the team and what needs sorting now.

I can see him making a quiet exit when the season is done. It really could not have been any worse but the regression over the last couple of years has been there for all to see. The squad is piss poor. Pep must have been seething to be handed Bravo, stones, Gundo and Sane at the beginning of this season. A horrible transfer window. He can't work his magic with the poorest squad he has ever been given.

They've churned out a statistic on Talkspite tonight, obviously it could be a load of garbage knowing that lot, that Bravo has had 20 direct, out and out, shots on target this season and he's conceded 14 goals from them.

I know statistics can be skewed any way you want them to prove a point, but that seems a little bit worrying and, moreover, credible to a certain extent.

The way I feel about Bravo, is that he doesn't even have a 'one off' blinder in him and any run of the mill 'keeper in the Championship, or even League 1 for that matter, could come in and do a far better job than him, as well as being far cheaper.

Genuine question but is there any possibility that Pep is either beginning to lose the dressing room, or it's gone a lot further than that ??

I honestly don't think he's arsed. His mates are up top and he knows he's not going to get sacked by them. It's madness.
