Blues - there’s no exaggeration here and I believe Pep WILL fix this. Right now though, it is abysmal form. Manchester City have conceded two or more goals in six successive matches now in all competitions. That’s the first time since May 1963 - during a season where we were relegated.
So good to see y o u put in y o u r place Mr Typical City. An City player once said "Be humble eh". How ironic the hand of humility came down on yous lot. Now I truly hope Liverpool defeat yous lot on sunday and pile on the mysery.
To be honest i think they played well in the first 70 min but when 1 goal goes in they fall apart, City could be winning 70-1 and it would still fall apart.
You can't knock Haaland. He's in his sixth consecutive season of literally scoring 22 goals in every 23 games he plays (don't believe me? Check his stats since he joined Salzburg at age 18). That is simply incredible. He's doing what he's paid to do - sticking the ball in the back of the net. Yes, he's going to miss some chances, all strikers do, but you're expecting him to improve on 22 in every 23 games? He can't score in every single f*cking game, for crying out loud! Well, he almost does, and this season he has 17 in 17, but demanding he does so is just plain unreasonable and daft.
Football teams have cycles we've had 7 brilliant years but sadly time catches up with you the main players are getting on and more injury prone and the injuries take longer to go away it is time for a rebuild and a clear out with our gratitude for their outstanding service to our club
Pep said in a interview, "why must I change the way I play" he's won plenty of trophies with different clubs, playing this way. So I doubt Guardiola will change anything, anytime soon.
Yeah pep ain’t changing gundo and Bernardo gonna be played at Liverpool maybe Kyle walker and we are going to dog smacked 🤷🏻♂️ been saying this for a while just very unfortunate that it’s take awful results to see the truth about him and the team
@@DeviousDucky552 And there’s the problem. I’ve been moaning about Pep’s refusal to adapt tactics since last season. It’s like all that he should’ve learned being adaptive in the treble season went right out the window
Really ? They would be destroying us with Rodri ? Barca and many top teams play with our system still lol so you want Pep to start playing like a small team and countering people ? Clowns. You don't change after 30 trophies and it's proven. Our whole youth system is built on this system and change our system because we are winless in 6 ???!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Epic over-reaction. The context of injuries, bad timing for the substitutions with weak replacements but we had little choice, Grealish taking a quick free-kick and general bad game management. Up the 70th minute we were ok, not brilliant but ok. Context...we were better than the previous 5 games for the first 70 mins Stop panicking...incrementally we're better. Dias will eventually be back and defence will get fitter and match-fit, KdB will get better, Haaland will keep scoring
Kinda like that time City lost Fernadhino to injury. They were so open it was insane. Imo the problem is Midfield and back. As soon as Feyenoord scored you could read Peps' face. He saw it coming and couldn't believe it. In addition to the anfield crowd and Citys' record there - Liverpool must be salivating.
I am strangely looking forward to the Liverpool game, it is stress free in a sense, we cannot be blamed if we play overly attacking or overly defensive football because the world and his wife expect us to lose.
@Lil_Elegant bc at the end of the day football ain't life, so I ain't bothered. Just like I said one of my fav players play for city and I love watching this content even if there's some banter towards Madrid at times.

I sit quite near to Pep and was watching his reaction. Believe me he was incandescent when we capitulated letting those goals in. That is not his fault, the players are playing schoolboy football and it is them who are letting us down big time.
@@alannavine3455yeah I agree it’s not Pep’s fault it’s the players that keep making silly mistakes and Gvardiol had a poor game last night and Salah will be against him on Sunday and will rip Gvardiol apart
@ryancitygo Would be better starting Ake at left back and taking Gvardiol out of the team. He keeps costing us goals.Akanji is clearly injured as well and has been playing despite this.
This team needs our love and gratitude right now for what they have given us over the past years. They obviously are experiencing a collective burnout and understandably so with the levels they have achieved. They are only human like all of us. Show them love.
Im a Liverpool fan but in all honesty Man City will bounce back and its not as bad as it seems . Granted it's three leagues lost in a row but the League cup and European dropped points wont hurt you too much . If Man City beat Liverpool its back to five points. Its a shock because of hiw good City Have been .Just needs putting into perspective a little.
You'd think since the 2022 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid where we collapsed due to lack of game management Pep would have worked on our game management for the past two years so it wouldn't happen again. Unbelievable.
@@david6532 You missed my point completely. Their intransigence is exactly why they’re Sunday league managers and not professional managers.

@@DeviousDucky552 Real Madrid doesn’t play in England. Playing in the premier league , Caribo cup , FA cup it’s a lot. And you have 5 to 6 contenders in the PL it’s nightmare
Yes, I'm in the same line of thoughts. Scrap FA, scrap UCL (we will not go far, not a chance), secure top 4 and focus on transfers. Pep refuses to be conservative and change the strategy accordingly. Even parking the bus requires some skills and mindset that we lack either. We can try to play counters against LIV on Sunday by switching to long distance passes towards Haaland (with Savinho, Foden helping), but I doubt that Pep will try that option.
By papering over the cracks do you mean winning the Treble and Four in a row (which no other team in the history of English football has ever done before)?
@@Markyy____ Exactly. This team's problems were happening way before Haaland. Apart from the treble season, City were notorious for never performing against their title rivals, Liverpool a perfect one. Like, it's pretty funny how people blame him for the creativity problems in the team, and not the players who are meant to create chances. Bernardo Silva and Foden are perfect examples.
Guys the players are coming back from injures and match fitness, gvuadiol made a mistake but like pep said he'll learn from it. We'll be back 💙 Gundo played well and that shows we just need to get our rhythm back
We have to face up to the facts that for the past couple of years although we have achieved great things we have been getting away with it on many occasions in the pitch and it was inevitable that at some point we would come to an end. Not bringing in quality understudies to our key players is biting us on the arse big time as we are relying on players who should only be playing 30 mins max a game and playing too many players carrying injuries or back to fitness.
Can’t bring in key understudy’s because look at what happened to Alvarez, peps man management stinks and sticks to his favorite players and won’t give understudy’s a chance and no one wants to come and sit the bench for Rodri year after year no one wants to come and sit the bench for kdb year after year look at what he did to Palmer and now macatee
@@Hairyman13 Exactly, Pep has good man management for the people he prefers, but he has trash overall team management. Bernardo should not be a starter now, I don't care what anyone says.
It's Pep's fault. As soon as he started substituting players, the opposition pounced on that vulnerability. I remember the days that we were in the mud and to the mud. We may return if things don't change
Why is it always Pep's fault when world-class players cannot do their jobs properly. Maybe some players in this team just aren't good enough for Man City.
Pep can't win with some fans.. Pep makes a sub problem, Pep doesn't make a sub problem..Everybody wanted him to play kdb and Mcatee before the game started
Why wouldn’t he make substitutions when 3-0 up ? It has nothing to do with it being Pep’s fault it was the fault of the players for not controlling the game for the last 20 minutes.. silly errors cost City again.. And if we win nothing this season so what🤷♂️ I’m sure with the team being rebuilt over January and the summer we will be back challenging again..
ake said(paraphrasing) "we needed to push up and be aggressive after conceding 1 and the reason they scored 3 was that we dropped back" and you're suggesting the complete opposite
Here's my theory. The 115 charges won't effect the players on the field, but the uncertainty around a decision against the club, has led to less reinforcement of areas we clearly need help. The last 2 windows we've done very little buying and we've gone against our policy of giving aging players new contracts. No back up for Rodri or Haaland. Walker in decline and Gundo as the only holding middie. I think the hierarchy are trying to limit spending. The squad got old, and the injuries have become even more of a crisis because there's so little depth. If we get a point I'd be so happy
Atleast now the board will wake up and bring in proper players instead of cheap below average players and washed players. The board's complacency and Pep's obsession of having a small squad are causing this.
this is what we need. If we winged it this season they wouldnt do the rebuild properly. id rather us not win anything if it helps us spend in summer and offload the deadwood
I actually think this is a good thing for the fans because people would laugh if you guy's say you will support the club through bad times so now its time to see
@@Codetrey I agree, we have a lot of fans who take winning for granted. I went for decays supporting the club with no trophies in the case. Being a fan isn't about winning.
My prediction is if Garvidol is playing we might get 6 against us. He’s not the only one but he has been instrumental in giving 4 goals out of the last 7 scored against us. His confidence is shot. I know that Pep will play him on Sunday out of loyalty and thinking he is helping him to get through a bad patch, he needs resting. Ake left back on Sunday with Dias, akanji and walker. with Dias being on the bench he must be fit to play. Silva also needs resting, he was treading water throughout the game and has been ineffective for a while.
I agree with Ake, Dias and Akanji but no definitely not Walker. He is a disaster just like Gvardial, all the goals are mainly happening because of these two. Rico Lewis should play as the right back. The midfield KDB Nunes Gündogan. I think thats the best line up to not concede too much goals + creating some chances for City.
Pep's got to hold his hands up, he took Gundo and Ake off at 3-0 when he knows our defence is like a sieve, putting two attacking midfielders on. That's asking for it. I thought Feyenoord's second goal was offside, not from the original through ball, but when the cross came to the back post it looked like the attacker headed it on to his teammate who was virtually on the goal line. I've only seen it once in real time as TV and, it seems, VAR was only looking at the original pass. Has anyone seen this again? Best game Gundo has played since his return in my opinion.
The squad is psychologically weak atm and it's affecting Pep as well. If mentally you're not confident it doesn't matter how fit or how skilful you are, you will crumble especially when pressured. It's more of a psychological crisis.
Really well said, Jonny, this is hard to identify and therefore hard to fix using that paradigm. We are needing a transformation and analysis of problems will leave us playing the previous game, not the one we are facing. Pep is incredible, but up until this moment he has not been dogmatic. An addiction to positive football, is still an addiction and will affect our judgement, our eyes and ears. Theories need to be tested by reality, empiricism (the Enlightenment) matters more than ever. Unfortunately, you are right about Liverpool, I fear them so much.
These players are letting pep down. playing like division 1 players. how can top professional players earning huge sum of salaries and playing such mediocre football. I don’t get it. Football is a serious business sport, we are not here for excuses. These lads need to lift up their game or else they should retire and go and stay home. They playing with our hearts. How can you concede such goals at last minutes. This is unacceptable.
Great assessment!!, Gvaldi is missing Kova his countryman. A little trepidation in his play, creating mistakes. No one at the the wheel on the pitch. Big question - Can Pep turn water into Wine?🤞
It’s interesting to note that the 115 case may be slowly heading to a conclusion. I’m sure management and players know a little than the casual fan. I wonder how much this is affecting performance. Perhaps we may be deducted points , so what’s the point in trying ?
Put Fernandinho, David Silva and KDB in midfield and we win all of the last six. A midfield that plays runs and fights like under 15s and schoolgirls is killing us.
Honestly I do feel this can change, but drastic measures need to be taken. I agree this arrogance is hanging over the club. I feel one major thing due too the arrogance is the complexity of the players positions. We are asking too much of the players and need to dial it back. Let Rico be able to focus more on defending, he isn’t even a rb, so he needs to grow defensively. Same applies to Gvardiol. We need to believe in the quality of our attackers to create. I feel simplifying the game gives the players less chances to make decisions. Also pep needs to be more ruthless in benchings, but who can even play rn😭? I believe this team will push to the end
Honestly i feel like we might get slaughtered at Anfield if we don’t play with caution. We can’t park the bus, but at the same time, we are going to get exposed if we commit ourselves. We need to make a plan for rebuilding the squad, especially in midfield. 😂😂😂 Losing sleep is crazy mate, calm down and laugh off the pain. We will be back.
I feel like if the boys get confidence for the next match the anger that you need we are the side that have done things that no other clubs will ever manage to we're gonna win against Liverpool 4-3
If rodri had stayed fit and we go and win another league Txiki and pep dont spend in jan and summer so this collapse is actually good news really. Big picture m,atters more than squeezing the orange for a drip of juice.. We need 5 or 6 new players and to offload about 5 or 6.. We need a 6, an 8, a cover striker and two defenders/fullbacks.. im actually excited! We need to also remember these legends and not pile on like rival fans have done. Lets be different!
Completely agree, but this time we should not just get players who may fit the system like Savinho. We need individual match winners who can actually score. As players like Silva & Foden are not performing, we can’t get goals from any other players. Doku, Savinho & Grealish needs to start scoring. Nunes have been really good & should continue in team. Without him we lost badly to Spurs. Let’s get some experienced players who can make a difference in assists & goals.
I hope pep is fine mentally and health wise. The rumors are not great. I would be disappointed to lose him, but if he's not okay he should take a time out and deal with it
I see us controlling the game when in possession. The problem is loosing possession on this Liverpool side, Disaster 😢. Am okay with us just loosing 3 nil
Am not here to add fuel to fire . But I would say this , Even in 1st half we lost the ball easily in middle . If we were against a better team we would have been punished . It’s not about this game . Since we lost Rodri to injury we not the same team , with Rodri we rarely lose the ball in middle but now with whoever is playing we lose a lot . Not to point fingers at any player here . To play at this level u need to be super talented who am I to judge But I blame our summer window . Every season we did statements that we are going for all trophies by buying players (player to improve us or maintain the level ). Yes no one saw all these many injuries but we didn’t replace players who left and on top of that , previous seasons our bench were rubbing their hands for any main 11 to drop in form ( bench players were better than now ) . With all this being said am positive ,it will solved by next summer window and for now we need to perform well and learn from this season . WE WILL BE THERE ❤
Several points here: 1. We do need new signings to help cover CDM, and AM; however, these are not short term signings these are long term signings as we can't fall into this trap of "1 man team" because Rodri is out, and we do have an aging squad. Following on from this, we need to get the Academy to help foster new talent in these areas. 2. Anyone who says Pep out without it being clearly tongue in cheek needs a slap, Pep is not the problem. However, Pep could do with trying to help some of the players become more pitch leaders, as there doesn't seem to be a wealth of players in that mould right now. I would also suggest (hark at me trying to tell Pep how to do his job), that we just maybe do a bit of route 1 football for a little while until players come back, it's not pretty but it's effective. 3. The issue is injuries but it's also psychological. To clarify this, we do have a lot of injuries at the moment and they are big players, the players who are fit can do the job, but they're not doing it, and it's not consciously their fault, it is however sub-consciously their fault, and a fault of how we are as a club. City play as a team, and if you had a team like Real Madrid having this many injuries they wouldn't have this issue, as they are group of individuals, not a team, that's just the way RM are. Because City are a team, our players have a team mentality built-in, the players are not playing to their full potential as they know they are short staffed so if they go all out, they could run the risk of injury and they know that it would feel like that they're letting the team down and make things worse. It's just one of the downsides of playing the team mentality football, as opposed to mercenary football.
In disasters we don't act like our Neighbours; with this intake, we will bounce back in style. don't leave traces of weakness in your support! Stay strong brothers
City's level has been unreal, consistently for 7 years. Feel like they should have had more than the 1 CL title given their ridiculously high levels of play over that time.
Real Madrid lost to Liverpool , so it is not only City that are dropping points.However I feel for City at Anfield, because Liverpool are playing very well and is full of confidence at the moment.The only chance is take Lewis off and put in both Savinho and Nunes together and bring back Dias , Akanji , Stones in defence
Peps stress is too much. We need to support him. The lads should know we're the target tho. Teams all over Europe have been building for years to beat us. We have the squad to turn it around, but it's going to take a different approach than what we're taking now. Stop being scared of the physical side of the game

The last 2 windows we've done very little buying and we've gone against our policy of giving aging players new contracts. No back up for Rodri or Haaland. Walker in decline and Gundo as the only holding middie. I think the hierarchy are trying to limit spending. The squad got old, and the injuries have become even more of a crisis because there's so little depth. If we get a point I'd be so happy
Have a crap season im ok with it. Looking forward to the rebuild
Atleast now the board will wake up and bring in proper players instead of cheap below average players and washed players. The board's complacency and Pep's obsession of having a small squad are causing this.
Dont know why we dont just sit back once game is comfortable. And counter
this is what we need. If we winged it this season they wouldnt do the rebuild properly. id rather us not win anything if it helps us spend in summer and offload the deadwood
Why da hell would you rebuild with a massive court case on us right now ? It's like buying a Ferrari when you're in debt. Use your brain lol
Too much panic with fans. I think it's good thing we have a slump. We will rebuild and be stronger. No big deal.
I actually think this is a good thing for the fans because people would laugh if you guy's say you will support the club through bad times so now its time to see
@@Codetrey I agree, we have a lot of fans who take winning for granted. I went for decays supporting the club with no trophies in the case. Being a fan isn't about winning.
My prediction is if Garvidol is playing we might get 6 against us. He’s not the only one but he has been instrumental in giving 4 goals out of the last 7 scored against us. His confidence is shot. I know that Pep will play him on Sunday out of loyalty and thinking he is helping him to get through a bad patch, he needs resting. Ake left back on Sunday with Dias, akanji and walker.
with Dias being on the bench he must be fit to play.
Silva also needs resting, he was treading water throughout the game and has been ineffective for a while.
O’REILY should be starting with Gundogan and Debruyne and Rico
I agree with Ake, Dias and Akanji but no definitely not Walker. He is a disaster just like Gvardial, all the goals are mainly happening because of these two. Rico Lewis should play as the right back. The midfield KDB Nunes Gündogan. I think thats the best line up to not concede too much goals + creating some chances for City.
There's nothing to worry with City.
City players are just crashing from last seasons busy schedule.
when Rodri comes back all will be fine
Definitely need top 4 so that we can attract top players next summer. No one could have guests the substitutions would cause us to implode
Absolutely spot on. This has been coming but I believe as fast as it came it can go.
Pep's got to hold his hands up, he took Gundo and Ake off at 3-0 when he knows our defence is like a sieve, putting two attacking midfielders on. That's asking for it. I thought Feyenoord's second goal was offside, not from the original through ball, but when the cross came to the back post it looked like the attacker headed it on to his teammate who was virtually on the goal line. I've only seen it once in real time as TV and, it seems, VAR was only looking at the original pass. Has anyone seen this again? Best game Gundo has played since his return in my opinion.
The squad is psychologically weak atm and it's affecting Pep as well. If mentally you're not confident it doesn't matter how fit or how skilful you are, you will crumble especially when pressured. It's more of a psychological crisis.
Someone throw that Community Shield plate away, Please!
Really well said, Jonny, this is hard to identify and therefore hard to fix using that paradigm. We are needing a transformation and analysis of problems will leave us playing the previous game, not the one we are facing. Pep is incredible, but up until this moment he has not been dogmatic. An addiction to positive football, is still an addiction and will affect our judgement, our eyes and ears. Theories need to be tested by reality, empiricism (the Enlightenment) matters more than ever.
Unfortunately, you are right about Liverpool, I fear them so much.
Good will come of this. An overhaul is crucial. We must all keep the faith. Who else would you want to support? COME ON CITY! BLUEMOON PHIL
BLUEMOON PHIL
@cornish-ballmappe Yes?
Bore of phil its over😮😮
@petewhite9135 Your reply doesn't make sense.
@petewhite9135 If you haven't got anything interesting to say except to be rude then don't bother. BLUEMOON PHIL
We played well until the final minutes... we can definitely score... if you look at our game vs Brighton in the last few minutes we sort of crumble
Shocking underperformance and clown like defending!
These players are letting pep down. playing like division 1 players. how can top professional players earning huge sum of salaries and playing such mediocre football. I don’t get it. Football is a serious business sport, we are not here for excuses. These lads need to lift up their game or else they should retire and go and stay home. They playing with our hearts. How can you concede such goals at last minutes. This is unacceptable.
Pep will throw in the towel if they keep this up. Using injuries as an excuse to justify crap performances is unacceptable.
let's adopt the Mikel dark arts then!
Those substitutions ruined the midfield
Ok lads. Why diden't Pep when we was 3-0 up defend and drop back to 4 - 5 - 1. That would of sealed the 3 points
It was a big mistake. We are not doing basics & not learning from our mistakes
Let us just brace for a loss; the implosion cannot be stopped so let it happen.
Park a triple decker bus like Assna would.
Great assessment!!, Gvaldi is missing Kova his countryman. A little trepidation in his play, creating mistakes. No one at the the wheel on the pitch. Big question - Can Pep turn water into Wine?🤞
It’s interesting to note that the 115 case may be slowly heading to a conclusion. I’m sure management and players know a little than the casual fan. I wonder how much this is affecting performance. Perhaps we may be deducted points , so what’s the point in trying ?
Put Fernandinho, David Silva and KDB in midfield and we win all of the last six. A midfield that plays runs and fights like under 15s and schoolgirls is killing us.
They've got to work on their defense!! That's the biggest problem.
gvardiol was one of our best players up until he made that mistake. for 70 mins he was mint. but somehow everyone's completely forgotten about that.
Honestly I do feel this can change, but drastic measures need to be taken. I agree this arrogance is hanging over the club. I feel one major thing due too the arrogance is the complexity of the players positions. We are asking too much of the players and need to dial it back. Let Rico be able to focus more on defending, he isn’t even a rb, so he needs to grow defensively. Same applies to Gvardiol. We need to believe in the quality of our attackers to create. I feel simplifying the game gives the players less chances to make decisions. Also pep needs to be more ruthless in benchings, but who can even play rn😭? I believe this team will push to the end
Honestly i feel like we might get slaughtered at Anfield if we don’t play with caution.
We can’t park the bus, but at the same time, we are going to get exposed if we commit ourselves.
We need to make a plan for rebuilding the squad, especially in midfield.
😂😂😂
Losing sleep is crazy mate, calm down and laugh off the pain. We will be back.
City needs shot stopper in goal atm until they improve defense
I feel like if the boys get confidence for the next match the anger that you need we are the side that have done things that no other clubs will ever manage to we're gonna win against Liverpool 4-3
If rodri had stayed fit and we go and win another league Txiki and pep dont spend in jan and summer so this collapse is actually good news really. Big picture m,atters more than squeezing the orange for a drip of juice.. We need 5 or 6 new players and to offload about 5 or 6.. We need a 6, an 8, a cover striker and two defenders/fullbacks.. im actually excited! We need to also remember these legends and not pile on like rival fans have done. Lets be different!
Completely agree, but this time we should not just get players who may fit the system like Savinho. We need individual match winners who can actually score. As players like Silva & Foden are not performing, we can’t get goals from any other players. Doku, Savinho & Grealish needs to start scoring. Nunes have been really good & should continue in team. Without him we lost badly to Spurs. Let’s get some experienced players who can make a difference in assists & goals.
the scary thing about this is we seem to have fallen of a cliff and none of us or pep no why we just have to stick with it come out the other end
Injuries to the 1st team players is costing us big time. Non can do what Rodri & KDB us.
The midfield is where everything has changed. How do you give up 3 in the last 15? Looks like Everton last year
I hope pep is fine mentally and health wise. The rumors are not great. I would be disappointed to lose him, but if he's not okay he should take a time out and deal with it
We need a rebuild mate, Yes we have injuries to key players Rodri being our most important but we should still be able to get results
Lpool has a lot of good players on the bench. Reason why they win most games from the bench.
Pep, who's been a little bit tardy at substitutions, last night did it far too soon.
So painful
I see us controlling the game when in possession. The problem is loosing possession on this Liverpool side, Disaster 😢. Am okay with us just loosing 3 nil
Stay
Humble
At this point in time is all about damage limitation against Liverpool on Sunday 😒😒
Am not here to add fuel to fire . But I would say this , Even in 1st half we lost the ball easily in middle . If we were against a better team we would have been punished . It’s not about this game . Since we lost Rodri to injury we not the same team , with Rodri we rarely lose the ball in middle but now with whoever is playing we lose a lot . Not to point fingers at any player here . To play at this level u need to be super talented who am I to judge But I blame our summer window . Every season we did statements that we are going for all trophies by buying players (player to improve us or maintain the level ). Yes no one saw all these many injuries but we didn’t replace players who left and on top of that , previous seasons our bench were rubbing their hands for any main 11 to drop in form ( bench players were better than now ) . With all this being said am positive ,it will solved by next summer window and for now we need to perform well and learn from this season . WE WILL BE THERE ❤
👏👏👏 Very well said and summarized...would take a draw against Liverpool 😅.
I believe we gonna bounce back common city
We need Ibrahim Maza he is just 18
Don’t panic ….. we still second and in all tournaments that matter…… a bad run was inevitable …… need a refresh but will come good
Pep needs to focus on growing young talent this season because all our international senior players are fatigued
Silly mistakes are costing us
Several points here:
1. We do need new signings to help cover CDM, and AM; however, these are not short term signings these are long term signings as we can't fall into this trap of "1 man team" because Rodri is out, and we do have an aging squad. Following on from this, we need to get the Academy to help foster new talent in these areas.
2. Anyone who says Pep out without it being clearly tongue in cheek needs a slap, Pep is not the problem. However, Pep could do with trying to help some of the players become more pitch leaders, as there doesn't seem to be a wealth of players in that mould right now. I would also suggest (hark at me trying to tell Pep how to do his job), that we just maybe do a bit of route 1 football for a little while until players come back, it's not pretty but it's effective.
3. The issue is injuries but it's also psychological. To clarify this, we do have a lot of injuries at the moment and they are big players, the players who are fit can do the job, but they're not doing it, and it's not consciously their fault, it is however sub-consciously their fault, and a fault of how we are as a club.
City play as a team, and if you had a team like Real Madrid having this many injuries they wouldn't have this issue, as they are group of individuals, not a team, that's just the way RM are. Because City are a team, our players have a team mentality built-in, the players are not playing to their full potential as they know they are short staffed so if they go all out, they could run the risk of injury and they know that it would feel like that they're letting the team down and make things worse. It's just one of the downsides of playing the team mentality football, as opposed to mercenary football.
Get your win first before starting to think about Liverpool. This is clearly also a confidence issue.
yesterday i was really disapointed
Man, when is it going to end? My soul hurts.
Pep must stop using those Academy players they are not ready yet, but he continues to use Lewis take him out and you will see the difference
I think he did good in midfield. But defensively he is very weak.
@@hitendersoni2011
So how did he do well when defensively he was bad
115 is taking a toll on the players, that’s human nature. Imagine the thought of of being stripped 6 titles
The reason the kids haven't gotten more playing time is because our form isn't good ....they are not to blame
it surprises me how city can come under pressure at home stadium ?
We need to improve defensively bro
Second in the PL one point of UCL place haaland and gundo getting goals. Calm and keep fighting till the end.
In disasters we don't act like our Neighbours; with this intake, we will bounce back in style. don't leave traces of weakness in your support! Stay strong brothers
City's level has been unreal, consistently for 7 years. Feel like they should have had more than the 1 CL title given their ridiculously high levels of play over that time.
So this means Walker will be starting against Liverpool since City conceded 3 goals without him playing.
Winning can become bored, a rebuild is probably necessary tbh
I hope man city will make a comeback
We need to fix defense and midfield
Real Madrid lost to Liverpool , so it is not only City that are dropping points.However I feel for City at Anfield, because Liverpool are playing very well and is full of confidence at the moment.The only chance is take Lewis off and put in both Savinho and Nunes together and bring back Dias , Akanji , Stones in defence
This too shall pass, Blues we need to all as a family to Support Pep &the Boys ❤.......
Peps stress is too much. We need to support him. The lads should know we're the target tho. Teams all over Europe have been building for years to beat us. We have the squad to turn it around, but it's going to take a different approach than what we're taking now. Stop being scared of the physical side of the game
To many injuries mate look at Liverpool last season
ITS ONLY A QUARTER IN FFS
WE ARE EVOLVING. GROWING PAINS.
The players must take responsibility Pep can give them instructions but it is the players who are making the mistakes
