Bernie is running his balls off, working for two . This can't be allowed to continue.

We all saw the foul on Guehi, yet some how , after giving the goal as an own goal decided to change it to Solanki. we're there bets on this.

It is as if City have agreed not to go for the PL and then they will conveniently dismiss the charges. ( that must be concludeded soon , surely).


Have to say I agree with your assessment of those three players. AIit- Nouri in particular looks soft as shit


well Nouri is a leftie isn't he.

Let us see how we get on on wednesday against the Geordies.

Been reluctant to say it but our football is so boring to watch. Can we not just play with some pace and energy, like every team that attacks us does.

Another issue, if it wasn’t for Donna we would have lost, fuck knows what would have happened if Ederson had been in goal.

I'm disgusted and disappointed with that lethargic display.

This against probably the most weakened poor Spurs side we will ever face.

It's like no one gives a shit... summed up with Haarland all 'smiling' with their defenders in extra time

Fuming!!

Absolutely, those fans that spent hundreds of pounds for tickets & travel deserve better than that inept performance.

Do you know why; they changed the bloody manager. They should have done it years ago. By the way he's managing the vermins and they're bottom of the league, I think.
The point, I have no doubt we would be top of this poor league had we had a different manager.

No doubt in my mind another manager would get more from these players. Dare I say it, Klopps players would run through a brick wall for him. None of ours apart from Bernardo would for Pep

Steady on old chap, we’ve got the best centre forward in the world who’s obviously just coasting to the World Cup, it’s a big mistake on his part because he’s more likely to get injured. What needs to happen is Pep needs to realise it and drop him, and when he does we seem to win. Today has just been a continuation of what’s been happening for 21 months. We have a slightly better than average squad playing below average football. It’s arrogant and toothless when grit is needed. We flopped about in the first half instead of putting the game to bed. It’s happening all the time and I’m sick of it. All I want to feel at the end of a match, win lose or draw, is that we’ve put the effort in and alas all I do is scream at the tv for the players to fucking do something. I’d be happy to see his lordship sacked tomorrow and get someone who has a pair of bollocks to kick these players up the arse.

The Spurs team were poor but they fought harder than we did. Half of our team are soft ss shit and can't battle. Haaland is a tall streak of piss, lacks any aggression, never booked and completely dominated by defenders. He's also guilty of poor finishing these days.
Cherki flattered to deceive
Nunes same old story.
We play iy continually back to the keeper, invite them on then get pressed after a poor through ball to midfield.
I get sick of writing this, most will be sick of my negativity but this is on Pep, Haaland, Cherki .
Feel sorry for Guehi and Semenyo, they thought they were coming for trophies. We're still in 4 trophies so some will say its a result. For me utter shite, and pep could fucking go tomorrow, i wont miss him. His politics mark him out as a shit stain in my book. A self righteous arrogant shit stain

Well said sir.

We have the quality players surely but this constant pass pass pass sideways and backwards is fucking frustrating and achieves the square root of fuck all
The Football is both hideous and monotonous.

How the fuck does he watch reruns of our shit Football and not fall asleep ?

His game management is literally non -existent.

His substitutions are usually always the wrong ones and invariably cause only full capitulation.

One has to wonder if mentally is he still up to the Job.

His little jolly abroad to virtue signal over Palestine. Arriving back in UK only hours before a major game in a supposed Title challenge. For me one has to question his priorities.

He is not only Manager of Manchester City. He is also an Ambassador for the City brand.

To be pictured with a Keffiyeh around his egotistical Neck was an insult to all our Jewish supporters.

Really poor form, would amount to constructive dismissal tarnishing a major brand in every other walk of life.

Pep is all about feeding his Ego.

Next he will b e rocking up to Gaza with Greta Thurnburg.

Pep views are not representee of Manchester City support Base. He has tarnished our image.

Stop talking to them at half time. Second half performances have been shit for weeks now.

We refuse to put teams to the sword when we clearly are capable and this keeps happening. Take the fucking handbrake off and lets us go.

Forget it, mate. We’ve been saying the same thing for months on end now. Pep’s done — he’s given everything he had, and now it’s just the same old story repeating every couple of weeks. Déjà vu all over again - it’s fucking tiresome, as are the excuses some fans still cling onto.

Can not wait to see the back of the slow boring possession based football.

It is killing me, it is horrible to watch, it isn't entertainment it is torture. The polar opposite of what we once played.

Etihad is going to struggle to be filled if this shit football continues.

It isn't sexy on the Eye and appealing.

It is a complete turn off and barely watchable.
