What went well: 1. Our physical condition. We are almost back to our normal physical condition. 2. Technically we are quite better now also, than a month ago. 3.We played well until min 60 - 65 primarily.
What went wrong: 1. Pep's poor offensive substitutions.He said that City attackers didnt take the right decisions in the last 15 min and missed chances as a result. But maybe they were tired, reason why. What were Doku and Grealish doing on the bench? How come they didnt get in and kill the game? How come De Bruyne finishes that game? With fresh legs in front for the last 15 min we would have killed that game. 2. Pep's poor defensive substitutions. He said that Brentford put a lot of players in our box towards the end + you see that Ake and Akanji were tired. What did he do to tackle this? Nothing. No addition of CB to help Manu and Ake in a back 5, no O'Reilly coming in as fullback for Nunes to move to DM, no De Bruyne replacement to help our defense not to suffocate, Gundo in to help us defend, which we know is useless (Rico is far better at defending)...Pep did everything wrong in the last 15 min.
First half I told myself I would be happy with a draw after going 2-0 up it’s frustrating to not win the game given the amount of chances we had as well but defence not good enough Brentford were able to get at us with ease but I thought we were 1000x better than we were a month ago so while it’s frustrating there’s still positives to take
Gundo needs to be moved into the coach role now and told his days on the pitch are over. Nico would have been a better fit, offering physicality and energy to see out the match. Txiki needs to tell Pep as his head is scrambled at the moment
Thought we controlled the game well from 82-90 min keeping the ball around there box thought we was going to be okay but all it took was one chance for them to equalise and it’s literally the story of our season
Yes, it is "the story of the season"! Put Pep STILL has his 1 or 2 favourable players. Silva and Godogan. Silver can keep and move ball well but when City without ball, he becomes a passenger. Sooooooooo slow, weak and plasid. Felt sorry for KOV and CB's. Yet Pep KEEEEEEEPS playing Silva. 😢😢😢😢😢
Please sign a defensive midfielder or play ORiley. Bernado Silva can not play in midfield to save his life he is awful I don't even know what he does???
No need to be too down after that imo - Brentford at home is tough even when we’re on form. We looked a LOT better than the Leicester game - still looked terrified defending, but considering Brentford’s home form I’ll take it
If you need to kill the game with a few mins left and you need to stop the “basketball end-to-end” game, did we have any options better than Gundo on the bench? Say what you want about Grealish but he is the best in the league at time wasting, drawing fouls, slowing the game, etc. And he certainly has more legs than Gundo. So why couldn’t Pep see that?
Don't tell me about record. Why is pep so stubborn that that he can't stop sentimental thing. Why bringing his friend Gundo. We have options on the bench to kill the game. GUNDO SHOULD PLEASE RETIRE THIS JANUARY. HE IS DONE AND NOTHING CAN CHANGE IT
A draw against anyone is a big win for us these days. Bernardo and Gundogan do not deserve even a spot on the bench, and i know this even without watching the game. Watching us play this season is so painful and irritating, that I just don't bother. Pep will turn the fans against players who can no longer contribute at Sunday league level due to his stubbornness. Even if we lose 10-0 against yenited, play the kids instead of those two.
Why keep Haaland on when trying to protect a lead..the guy wont put in a shift when you defending a lead..was supposed to be hooked and put a Nico or Rico to graft and grind result
@@Airyed he'd been on the pitch not even 5 mins at that point i think. yeah he should have at least hit the target but so should everyone else apart from foden.
Another embarrassing result!!absolute shameful!!ridiculous result!!it s incredible how every match we concede at least 2 goal in the last minutes!!it s really frustrating!!most of our players are totally over and without motivation!!
Far too positive sorry the midfield was ran through all game I felt sorry for Kovacic he's on his own with a complete passenger in Bernado Silva who runs around doing nothing!
We sustain our unbeaten run away against Brentford. This is good if y9u judge the result. But leading 2-0 at min 78, and conceeding 5+ clear chances between min 78 and the end of the game is not acceptable. It is a terrible performance, especially when we have a lot of fresh legs on the bench doing nothing. And this time it is all on Pep, which is good news because the players and the physios did their job this time.
That Steve starts by praising Brentford’s home records shows how bad we have become, glad to see a good 60 or so mins. Wish Pep had the gut to put fresher offensive fresh legs and sort the DM situation without Gundo
2nd to every 50/50 one pass and midfield is completely cut out Haarland hold up play not brilliant, Savinio can't get his head up, Silva offering nothing, KDB can't turn, defence looks terrible in possession, Foden looked crap for an hour, Pep can't make effective substitutions, Nunez not good enough. Apart from that. Fkin brilliant!
Gundo needs to go . Nah he cant defend anymore we need . I think with Khusanov in ederson khusanov ake josko akanji kovacic foden kdb silva savinho halaand that’s how we should operate for now while there are still injuries. I don’t know how pep trust ortega over Moreno😅 ederson won all with us we he should respect ederson more and start him more regularly and let go ortega in summer and sign someone to replace ederson when he is injured . Ederson must start over ortega . And akanji must play cdm i hope Dias and stones come back soon .
We are winning 2-1 and there’s 7 minutes left. Why on earth did we take Foden off that can hold the ball, defend and run for days instead of taking Haaland off for McAtee or even better Grealish that is a master in time wasting.
Too difficult and painful to watch City play, every time Brentford attacked us, our defense looked so vulnerable and shaky, we couldn't keep a lead for 10 mins, unacceptable !!!!!!!
Best 60 mins of City football in a while, Pep destroyed it with substitutions, Gundo/ Mctee substitutions were unproductive. I watched as Halaand started strolling. The Brentford strikers ran their socks off…we could have brought in someone else. This was Pep , those players did their best. Glad Nuno had a good game at RB
One Q to ask. Will City with 2 - 3 new players ever reach the same level. City keep doing the same thing. Is Pep's style getting found out? Just a question.
My Man City top 5 of the game: 1. Matheus Nunes 2. Haaland (was key to us breaking Brentford pressing) 3. Savinho (great physical condition) 4. Foden 5. Ortega (basically won us that point).
I can’t be arsed Ste! I wanted McAtee & Nico playing and I just want lots of better players in and dead wood out. Until then I expect these games 🩵🏆🏆🏆🏆🩵
We are not a fans of excuses,telling me about home record are u a joke, they lost to a small team in fa cup and we were leading 2 0 just say it ,bad decision by pep and some players off the level this game were so frustrating
As soon as Gundo came on , I new we would conceed.
Kovacic was having a good game and we took him off, at least bring on O'Reilly for him instead of Gundo, he just doesn't have the legs anymore
Kova was burnt out , but why gundo and not O'Reilly
O'Reilly is not a midfielder, but rather get Nunes into a DM position and Rico Lewis at RB. For the last 10 min only, such a plan is fine.
Pep won’t trust the kids! So annoying!!!
I would like pay tribute to Tony Book.....a player I idolised as a kid and he gave me myfirst trip to Wembly!
Safe travels Tony
What went well: 1. Our physical condition. We are almost back to our normal physical condition. 2. Technically we are quite better now also, than a month ago. 3.We played well until min 60 - 65 primarily.
Pep out? I'm sure Bernardo must be his lost son. Has that dude played EVERY GAME of EVERY season since arriving.

I think Brentford deserved more because they played out their skin. Our defence did well considering their current standard
Gundo just doesn't win duels and battles on the pitch anymore. When seeing out a match that is not what you want on a pitch
Please sign a defensive midfielder or play ORiley. Bernado Silva can not play in midfield to save his life he is awful I don't even know what he does???
No need to be too down after that imo - Brentford at home is tough even when we’re on form. We looked a LOT better than the Leicester game - still looked terrified defending, but considering Brentford’s home form I’ll take it
City need to cut the crap and get some midfielders or at least one are else we are not going to get top 4.
If you need to kill the game with a few mins left and you need to stop the “basketball end-to-end” game, did we have any options better than Gundo on the bench?

No Doku no grealish McAtee should have played a full game good to see foden hitting form again slow progress but going the right direction
Wouldn’t say he’s hitting form he wasn’t great today he scored a tap in and a decent goal and apart from that he was quiet
I’m not saying McAtee would have scored 3 goals again or stop us from drawing but he should have started today
@@sancho2165 he has to do better with that chance tho at the end he had no pressure and completely missed it
@@Airyed he'd been on the pitch not even 5 mins at that point i think. yeah he should have at least hit the target but so should everyone else apart from foden.
I’m actually pretty okay with that result, annoying to see them equalize under the circumstances but if I was told 2-2 going in I’d take it
Another embarrassing result!!absolute shameful!!ridiculous result!!it s incredible how every match we concede at least 2 goal in the last minutes!!it s really frustrating!!most of our players are totally over and without motivation!!
Far too positive sorry the midfield was ran through all game I felt sorry for Kovacic he's on his own with a complete passenger in Bernado Silva who runs around doing nothing!
@Airyed Finally someone says it about Bernardo, he doesn't offer anything anymore, no way he deserves to start over McAtee

Apart from that. Fkin brilliant!
Hanging Bernardo out to dry leaving him to defend like that is absolutely WILD.
@@dorkofchops it's a basic cross Bernando has to do better
City are in a transition period. The problems will be resolved, patience and maturity is needed by supporters.
Gundo needs to go . Nah he cant defend anymore we need . I think with Khusanov in ederson khusanov ake josko akanji kovacic foden kdb silva savinho halaand that’s how we should operate for now while there are still injuries.

criticize pep. pep is not god. pep is at fault.
We need a defensive midfielder who will be able to provide defensive stability and make the rest of our midfielders play better.
We are winning 2-1 and there’s 7 minutes left. Why on earth did we take Foden off that can hold the ball, defend and run for days instead of taking Haaland off for McAtee or even better Grealish that is a master in time wasting.
Mcatee should of scored and killed the game,they score instantly, so frustrating
EK, I didn't see the game tonight. Was footy coaching. Will watch later.
Too difficult and painful to watch City play, every time Brentford attacked us, our defense looked so vulnerable and shaky, we couldn't keep a lead for 10 mins, unacceptable !!!!!!!

They had 18 shots on us
One Q to ask. Will City with 2 - 3 new players ever reach the same level. City keep doing the same thing. Is Pep's style getting found out? Just a question.
You need to defend a 2 nil lead and you bring on Gundo..Come on Pep this ain’t 2020
My Man City top 5 of the game: 1. Matheus Nunes 2. Haaland (was key to us breaking Brentford pressing) 3. Savinho (great physical condition) 4. Foden 5. Ortega (basically won us that point).
KDB deserved at least 2 more assists in this game
Stop making excuses pep is the reason why we draw why put on gundo
I can’t be arsed Ste! I wanted McAtee & Nico playing and I just want lots of better players in and dead wood out. Until then I expect these games 🩵🏆🏆🏆🏆🩵
Kova > Gundo swap was weird and why not put Nico on! Kind of bored of this now. Odd tactics, again! 🩵
We should have taken our chances
gundo has shown his age in performance..
We are not a fans of excuses,telling me about home record are u a joke, they lost to a small team in fa cup and we were leading 2 0 just say it ,bad decision by pep and some players off the level this game were so frustrating
Penny at the end or what didn’t get a chance to see it again
HTF.. Ake and Akanji had over 7pts? NONESENSE
AKE & AKANJI were horrible for both goals
EMBARRASSING
Is on pep and then he says they played goal...gundo ....it went to shite ...no doku...late mcatee
No cdm… we shall keep loosing
4-0 battering Steven? Maybe 2-0?
Glory hunter
Pep out?
No
GET LOST MUG
Let’s sum this up in one word, bored! 🩵
We should have taken our chances
