***Rags v City Official Match Thread***

[Dubciteh]

The defensive selection was a fucking abomination.

But looking at our midfield and forward line I thought we had enough firepower to at least outscore them.

But not one of our cunting cunt players had any fight in them. Second to everything. No desire, no getting stuck in.

Pep and all his staff and every single player apart from Donna are a disgrace and should be embarrassed with that today.

Could have at least put in some dirty tackles of our own. Didn't even do that

Did there keeper even make a save in the whole game? He was so bored he knocked one out for a corner out of desperation for a touch of the ball.

A dark day for Manchester City football club. Has there been a worse derby for us since the 90s?

It's all well and good having the firepower and right players on, but if the tactics are wrong then it's not going to matter. Messi wasn't told to pass sideways and backwards - yet if he was on this City team today he'd have been told that

This terrible run we are on has resulted in fucking dippers within 5 points of us & even rags only 8 looking at that display today wouldn’t be surprised if dippers caught up. I know we have Guehi but not confident Pep will get best out of him, probably play him at LB

Wouldn't surprise me.

Has already moved Semenyo on to the opposite wing to accommodate Doku.

Ake/Lewis lost the ball 27 times today.

I think in future games the opposition goalkeeper could bring out a deck chair & a book to relieve the boredom

[nottsblue]

I'm not buying into the players are not good enough, lower teams came here and did well against that shower of shite.

Pep is on the decline and there are no players out there can bail out his relic tactics. So, spending another 500m on players wont fix the problem.

I'm confident there are managers out there can do much better with the current squad

Your going to get a pep apologist telling us where we still are in the league standings and still in the cup games....any minute now.

'We are in 4 cups' cup league? We could potentially end up finhsing second in all of them

I’d snatch your hand off for second in the league
Or the CL for that matter

[salford city]

Thanks boys

The genius must have thought with the European super power Bodø/Glimt. to play in midweek & pace setters Wolves next week he needed to keep his best players fresh with all those “minutes” to come.

The Cherki thing, you could see that coming as soon as he did that rabona cross thing. Fans love him, Pep hates flair. Fans crave some fucking flair, something exciting, something that’s not the boring shit we’ve seen for a couple of seasons.

I don’t care if Cherki doesn’t track back or if it makes someone else shit, I want excitement.

He can unlock the lock. 4/5 times it doesn’t come off but when it does it’s fantastic.

I don’t think we can win the league now so top 3 should be ok, and a cup or 2 would be progress.

Bingo.

Played well since he came back from his injury. Came on and scored midweek. Dropped for the derby. Pep is like a fuckin boring book now.

[gmercer1]

Just seen Casemiro got man of the match……fuck me we really have hit rock bottom if that useless prick is getting that

[salford city]

Fuck me standing, so we take a poor free kick & that’s the reason we conceded, correct me if I am wrong but I thought we had fullbacks & CB’s to deal with attacks, it couldn’t be that the players adopted incorrect positions on instructions from a genius

City have failed to beat United in three of their last four league meetings and have not beaten the Red Devils away from home since October 2023.

The genius has never ever got the passion of the derby, he thinks it’s a poor man’s Classico

[Nigels Tackle]

they came out determined to win
our lot looked like they'd been on a bender with super jack last night
a truly embarrassing performance - up there with the worst 5 in the last 15 year. disgraceful in a fucking derby

[PeterParker]

Out of curiosity, why did he sub off Alleyne at halftime? Was he beyond shite?

I have this feeling he is throwing him under the buss like he did with Pussey last year after Brighton away.

Ake was shit but he can't have one of his faves taking the flack, so subs off Max and moves Ake over to CB.

Alleyne was doing fine, Ake was having a mare at LB. The change should have been Ait-Nouri for Ake but Pep preferred to keep Ake on who continued to shit the bed at CB.
