first of all we're not saying rodri isnt a good player or doesnt play a key role in the city team all we're saying is vini deserved it "more" and was the better player last season plus by that logic kroos should've won the ballon dor too look at madrid and how they're struggling without him. but i guess after all its a matter of opinion who you think is better and its respectable
Don't remember the last time the 2 best teams on the planet of a defining period have absolutely looked like a shadow of their former selves but Madrid and City have truly taken a hit in all departments this season.
As a Man City fan we are cooked😅 This is a severe crisis. We have an injury crisis Foden is the only midfielder with pace so we get cooked by transitions. This 3-1-6 which was built to combat 4-2-4 does not even work unless you have a player like Rodri. Our next fixtures our difficult until January. If we still win the premier league before we actually go in next summer which will be a big transfer window and rebuild then I do not want people to say Man City is a juggernaut when for these last two seasons we were there to be gotten at
@fyt8hfh it dont matter if you end the season with 91 points. You act like getting 92 points is easy. Thats not getting got at, when both liverpool and arsenal wouldve needed a near perfect season
Rodri missing isn’t the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that no one but Haaland can score. Players are not stepping up. Stones and Gvardiol who are both defenders have more goals in the league than Gundo, Bernardo, Doku, Grealish, Savinho, Foden, Nunez. City could have bypass Rodri’s absence until a January transfer if City’s attackers actually learned how to score. The amount of possession they have yet they barely create consistent clear cut chances for Haaland (who despite being out of form, he’s the only attacker than can put the ball in the back of the net) is embarrassing. The defense is another disaster. With or without Rodri, defense shouldn’t be this bad. They have too many individual Bozo moments especially Rico Lewis and Kyle Walker. Walker should have been sold last summer.
Rodri and KdB also contribute in orchestrating the attack, the others don’t do much orchestrating, Foden seems to be missing Rodri because the ball doesn’t come to him as much and where he’s dangerous. The absence of the two is killing Manchester city’s attacking power
I'm not having it Haaland has missed a lot of big chances recently his finishing hasnt been great of recent Yes the other should do more in scoring but city as a whole are just off it and need to go back and tweak everything
@@umamwosa raphina is the best out the 3 i would say yamal is the weakest out of the 3. but then again season is still early if liverpool wins the pl theres a shout
i don't think anyone actually thinks they play badly every year on purpose or 'to give others a chance'. i think people are just weary to criticize them too strongly, and particularly to say they won't win the league, because they really believe in Pep's ability to revamp the system & tactics soon and get them back on track, as evidenced by the past 2 years in particular. genuinely if you look back at tweets from this time last season, around the time in dec when villa beat them and they looked pretty bad, both rival fans and City fans were saying how poor they looked. Check Umir's tweets- he was saying he never believed they'd win the league until the Fulham game in May when they won 4-0. even the treble season, go back to your own podcasts like STTV, everyone was already crowning Arsenal because City looked v mortal. i agree that this is the worst they've looked in all of those years, that their squad itself is not as strong with lots of players either looking past it physically or burnt out and the other half young & inexperienced, a huge injury crisis, Rodri absence, and even Pep looking devoid of ideas. + i'm sure the uncertainty of the 115 thing is adding to it behind the scenes too. i think they should be criticized for sure, but i think people are just hesitant to fully write them off because they believe in the coaching ability of Pep, and the mentality & ability of the players, and rightfully so because they're the one team in the world who you know can get it back together
The irony of City's drop in form is that Pep would probably be able to fix it by doing the one thing that he would NEVER want to do: playing without the ball, soaking up pressure, and playing on the break. Is it philosphy, or is it pride? Most teams are setting up low blocks they can't get through, and even more teams are exploiting them on the counter. So the logical conclusion is surely to create space by countering them instead? He's got the players to do it. Maybe the only issue is someone who can play those passes in KDBs absence, but it's better than what they're currently doing... With a fully fit squad, they can play their 3 at the back with wingers + box midfield, and someone of Rodri's calber will fill in the gaps. But if you have a midfield of Kovacic and Gundogan, what the hell are you doing playing the same way? Surely put a back 5 behind that? Or drop the line. This is on Pep. Anyway i'm here for the downfall either way
Previously, every time we lost I'd feel annoyed cause there was that feeling of "we dominated and we should've won", like one or two mistakes probably cost us the game, but recently I can't even be mad, I'm just concerned with the overall feel of this team. It's the best chance other teams have got to win it honestly, this just ain't it for City
As a city fan, I agree with everything you said, this is the worst we've looked since pep took over, not just because of 4 losses in a row, but we are playing so bad whole season and if we don't fix problems after the international break.. we are in big trouble
@@yahirzamora7159nobody is acting like Rodri is the only injured player. The point still stands that Rodri definitely would have made a huge impact in the team. His role is vital
I hear your point about rodri but city have arguably the greatest manager in the world and a lot of top players, they shouldnt be this bad and pep needs to adapt his tactics.
Remember, these losses have all been away from home, 4 away games on the bounce. Psychologically speaking, I think this City squad can really do with a home game to at least get them back on track.
@gmae5342 They'll be much more comfortable playing in their own stadium, infront their fans especially after 4 consecutive games on the road. 4 games away is mentally challenging and draining with all the travelling.
I don't think losing Kroos for Madrid is as big as losing Rodri I just think Mbappe doesn't fit that Madrid team and it has made them worse with Ancelotti's inabillity to set them up in a way that works
@jonbolton491 mbappe isn't a scapegoat, it's just the fact that he's not a striker and can't play there. Like what is the difference between him and vinicius
You didn’t talk about how good we were in the first half and if we buried our chances we wouldn’t have lost the game….but it’s okay no excuses WE WILL BE BACK

Guys, honestly I haven’t seen city play this bad in the pep era was early 20/21 SZN when we were 8th in the table, but honestly the injury crisis has been unfortunate. Imo the ucl and domestic cup competitions are out the equation, I think signing a DM in jan and somehow be within 8pts to Liverpool, there’s a chance, but really it just seems like the Liverpool 22/23 SZN where it was the end of an era for these players, Bernardo Ake Gundo Grealish Walker Should get their farewell soon. I think city have been too arrogant in the recent 2 windows, yes we didn’t get Jude or rice but last summer wasn’t good enough, no backup to Rodri wasn’t good enough, I still believe pep will pull this back but I need him to sort out his future and we need to win the 115 case
could it also be that the league overall has improved as well tho?? i feel like there’s players at majority of the smaller clubs that would get quality minutes in almost any side in europe and i feel like last season it wasn’t like tht. idk
As a city fan i’m gonna tell you what’s going wrong Obviously we have a injury crisis you cannot deny that and in the past seasons we’ve also had injuries but never so many at the same time. But we have to look deeper than that and this is just an end of an era. A lot of our players want out. Silva has been trying to leave the club for the past 2 years, ederson was on the verge of leaving, gundo left and we brought him back, pep’s and kevin’s contracts are expering in 8 months. We need a long due overhaul of the squad and as lyes rightfully pointed out we have lacked in keeping the club fresh were we used to move on players like sane and cancelo to give others a chance now we are holding on tight to to many players and this is the problem. Does pep have the energy and hunger to build a new team cause if he doesn’t he should leave right this second so a more hungry manager can come in maybe bring in 1/2 players in January and try to rescue the season, get his own style of playing integrated into the squad. Looking forward i think and its pains me a lot to say it but silva and walker are done, i also think that kdb, ederson and pep don’t have the hunger anymore. And i think that now we see the negative aspect of selling all our youth products. Palmer would’ve been a starter, doyle would be perfect in cb, delap as our second striker to give haaland some rest. I think looking forward our defence, apart from rb is good enough. I think that when everybody is fit we should continue with a midfield of rodri, kova and foden. Foden wastes his talent on the wing we should be building our team around him. We need wingers i don’t see a future in which doku and savinho are our starting wingers so with that being said: ❌Pep, ederson, walker, silva, gundo, kdb out. If you can keep kdb im not against it but he shouldn’t start every game just rotate him and keep him fresh for the big games. Moving on stones might also not be the worst idea. 100% starting should be: haaland, rodri, kova, foden, dias and gvardiol Then we have ake, lewis, nunes, doku, savinho, grealish as rotation We should look to bring in: GK RB Backup DM 1 ideally 2 wingers so you can bring grealish in for the foden role i think that could rejuvenate grealish his form And a backup ST
I do have a few suggestions: Gk: Diogo costa, every time i’ve seen him he comes across as a very safe pare of hands who’s also good with the ball on his feet Rb: maybe very bold but i say bring in ben white he just turned 27 defensively solid and also verry good in the attacking role and with the many defenders arsenal have i don’t think it is unthinkable they sell ben white As a backup dm i say bring back yangel herrera to the club. Never used him but he shows his class at girona and i think with our connection to Girona bringing him in would be a good idea. Could also rotate him with kova Wingers: we lack starplayers we are the best team in the world atleast top 3 so why not splash out some cash on an unhappy rafael leao. If Fonseca keeps him on the bench for the whole season and with the financial problems italian clubs always have a 70M bid i more than reasonable. But i don’t think we can afford leao and another winger so we would have to keep savinho on the rw Backup striker: evan furgusson’s stocks are verry low atm and honestly i think he could turn out to be an amazing 20m purchase with pedro, rutter and welbeck in front of him he seems to have 0 chance to break into that team bring him to the etihad as a backup/rotation for haaland, he could learn a lot from haaland Gk: diogo costa Rb: ben white Cb: dias Cb: akanji Lb: gvardiol Dm: rodri Cm: kova Cam: foden Rw: savinho Lw: leao St: haaland Bench: Ortega Ake Lewis Yangel herrera Nunes Grealish Doku Evan furgusson (Possibly stones and kdb)
Sterling is among the highest scorer in the premiere league at the age of 29 plus they are fighting him. Sterling is a maestro. He only got hate for that champions league miss that shit haunt his career
Kova has never been a number 6 at Inter, Madrid, Chelsea and even in that Croatia team.. He is more like an 8 but not an attacking midfield. But always gives 100% wherever he is
@@Deathmare235 he was bought to fill in gundogans position not rodris. His through Ball for the 1-0 was world class. defensively he is not at rodris level.
Kroos isn’t that of an important Madrid player imo, Madrid don’t keep possession like city, rodri will be more important because he’s the one that in possession binds attack and defence. With Madrid they play a lot of long balls and don’t rely on possession they’ll do well with or without kroos
Mancity will face crisis this season and we will be lucky if we won end up top - 4 next season a new midfield has to be made and if we want new manager then Brighton manager should be the one [from mancity fan side]
City dont have the personnel rn to solve the problem City need to focus on the epl and just forget about the UCL City are definitely in a transition rn They need a few proper signing before theyll get back to where they are The legs in that midfield are cooked Walker is ass honestly,puts more pressure on the defense anytime hes on the ball Peps teams are built on a good mifield If the intensity and press in the middle isnt there,the defense will feel so much pressure with such a high line City failed to do business during the summer and thy are paying the price rn
We have to talk about Rico Lewis. That brother is not good at anything. Its like they got a fan from outside the stadium to jump on the pitch. Horrible defensively, and creates F all offensively. Definitely the worst player to ever start for City regularly.
Pep is the root problem. Period. Yes injuries and the board poor transfer strategies have only exacerbated the situation, but at the end of the day, Pep’s decision making in tactics and personnel usage has been poor since last Sept (I think City won the PL in spite of Pep and not bc of him) and cost City. Harsh words, I know, but his philosophy last season and this season so far is the complete opposite of what it was in the Treble season: adaptability. Maybe it’s arrogance or hubris or stubbornness but it sure can’t be bc he doesn’t see it. A blind person can see the issues and yet Pep persists with what is objectively not working and expecting a different outcome. Is that not the definition of insanity??
@@reecetanner8096 nothing delusional here. City and arsenal are in near identical form. Both have or are experiencing an injury crisis including the main player for each team in rodri and Odegaard respectively.

Simple If you've watched City this season you can clearly see them struggling against all opposition they concede 4+ big chances every game . If you have a claim to be the best league in the world as the prem have you can't have such a team (in their current state of course) win the league
@@joyoussithole947they are only struggling defensively because they don’t have a dm replacement. other than that they are still playing exactly the football they play regardless. i just don’t get how if they somehow clutch this league that means the league is dead. they will still open up every team in europe even with this current team because of experience and muscle memory. even watching them today they were actually too good in that first half. but second half that baleba kid turned up and change the game for brighton
The back line is fully injured and walker is washed both left wingers are injured the only player that can solve the problem is nunes but he’s playing on the left because of the injuries can’t wait till all our players are back arsenal and city are shit according to lyes is it a one horse race for Liverpool
no one gave this excuse when barca won the league with busi in the squad and then failed to compete next season that barca had key players missing. barca are broke and city have pockets running deep, yet you'd hear the injury excuse. i just am not buying it, they are shit. just say it already.

There players are getting old and they are not replacing them
Title up for grabs !
If city win this year, it just cements Pep guardiola as the GOAT manager ever, even though it isn’t much of a debate
As a city fan i’m gonna tell you what’s going wrong
Obviously we have a injury crisis you cannot deny that and in the past seasons we’ve also had injuries but never so many at the same time. But we have to look deeper than that and this is just an end of an era. A lot of our players want out. Silva has been trying to leave the club for the past 2 years, ederson was on the verge of leaving, gundo left and we brought him back, pep’s and kevin’s contracts are expering in 8 months. We need a long due overhaul of the squad and as lyes rightfully pointed out we have lacked in keeping the club fresh were we used to move on players like sane and cancelo to give others a chance now we are holding on tight to to many players and this is the problem. Does pep have the energy and hunger to build a new team cause if he doesn’t he should leave right this second so a more hungry manager can come in maybe bring in 1/2 players in January and try to rescue the season, get his own style of playing integrated into the squad. Looking forward i think and its pains me a lot to say it but silva and walker are done, i also think that kdb, ederson and pep don’t have the hunger anymore. And i think that now we see the negative aspect of selling all our youth products. Palmer would’ve been a starter, doyle would be perfect in cb, delap as our second striker to give haaland some rest. I think looking forward our defence, apart from rb is good enough. I think that when everybody is fit we should continue with a midfield of rodri, kova and foden. Foden wastes his talent on the wing we should be building our team around him. We need wingers i don’t see a future in which doku and savinho are our starting wingers so with that being said:
❌Pep, ederson, walker, silva, gundo, kdb out. If you can keep kdb im not against it but he shouldn’t start every game just rotate him and keep him fresh for the big games. Moving on stones might also not be the worst idea.
100% starting should be: haaland, rodri, kova, foden, dias and gvardiol
Then we have ake, lewis, nunes, doku, savinho, grealish as rotation
We should look to bring in:
GK
RB
Backup DM
1 ideally 2 wingers so you can bring grealish in for the foden role i think that could rejuvenate grealish his form
And a backup ST
I do have a few suggestions:
Gk: Diogo costa, every time i’ve seen him he comes across as a very safe pare of hands who’s also good with the ball on his feet
Rb: maybe very bold but i say bring in ben white he just turned 27 defensively solid and also verry good in the attacking role and with the many defenders arsenal have i don’t think it is unthinkable they sell ben white
As a backup dm i say bring back yangel herrera to the club. Never used him but he shows his class at girona and i think with our connection to Girona bringing him in would be a good idea. Could also rotate him with kova
Wingers: we lack starplayers we are the best team in the world atleast top 3 so why not splash out some cash on an unhappy rafael leao. If Fonseca keeps him on the bench for the whole season and with the financial problems italian clubs always have a 70M bid i more than reasonable. But i don’t think we can afford leao and another winger so we would have to keep savinho on the rw
Backup striker: evan furgusson’s stocks are verry low atm and honestly i think he could turn out to be an amazing 20m purchase with pedro, rutter and welbeck in front of him he seems to have 0 chance to break into that team bring him to the etihad as a backup/rotation for haaland, he could learn a lot from haaland
Gk: diogo costa
Rb: ben white
Cb: dias
Cb: akanji
Lb: gvardiol
Dm: rodri
Cm: kova
Cam: foden
Rw: savinho
Lw: leao
St: haaland
Bench:
Ortega
Ake
Lewis
Yangel herrera
Nunes
Grealish
Doku
Evan furgusson
(Possibly stones and kdb)
Just shows yet again how small and petty Real Madrid are for their ludicrous protest against the ballon d’or was
Lyes this ain’t the first time Pep lost 4 times in a row. It also happened in 2015 when he was with Bayern
SDS will do 30 minutes of Chelsea vs Arsenal but it’ll be 18 minutes of Arsenal and 2 minutes of “Lavia looks good”
Bro give us a break, city fans are going through a lot right now 😫
boo hoo, go cry 115 tears
Poor guys, won only 4 premier leagues straight😢😢😢
@@ryszardsikora6894Some city fans are spoiled due to recent performances
>2nd in the league
>a lot
mfs think they're real madrid
@@EanakbaMadrid are 2nd too
But the thing is we never knew when they bought KDB, Silva, Sane and Sterling, that they'll be Brilliant players
They expected them to be brilliant also silva and Sterling already showed they were moving up hell de Bruyne and sane too
our season starts after February
It’s Nottingham Forrest’s year lol
We need to have a serious conversation about Foden
Sterling is among the highest scorer in the premiere league at the age of 29 plus they are fighting him. Sterling is a maestro. He only got hate for that champions league miss that shit haunt his career
I saw the signs from when they just about managed to beat Southampton 1-0 a few weeks ago
Kovacic isn't a number 6. We need a cdm so bad
he was arguably the best player for city. lewis is not a left back.
Kova has never been a number 6 at Inter, Madrid, Chelsea and even in that Croatia team.. He is more like an 8 but not an attacking midfield. But always gives 100% wherever he is
@@thabanakabo4370now that I think about it why did we even get him, sure pep would want to use him as a midfielder but not an 8
@@Deathmare235 he was bought to fill in gundogans position not rodris.
His through Ball for the 1-0 was world class. defensively he is not at rodris level.
even ten hag never lost 4 in a row with utd lmao and we had a worse injury crisis last season than city do now
Savio and Sane in 2018 are the same
I’d just write off the season and see next season, a January signing who’s gonna come and change all of this is unrealistic.
they grealish transfer finished them, they’ve been shopping in a different market cuz they are gonna get those 115 soon. be warned
As a man utd fan now i never saw this type of city in previous years i am actually loving every second of it😂
Ssssh yr 13th in the league
Enjoy brother these things are rare and who knows when will be next time you’ll get this chance to enjoy
Haalands overall performances needs to be better… the goals aren’t enough
Easy to say Liverpool are favourites now wow would have never thought
I wonder if the rumours of Pep leaving and the charges are starting to take their toll.
Is this the beginning of the end.
Kroos isn’t that of an important Madrid player imo, Madrid don’t keep possession like city, rodri will be more important because he’s the one that in possession binds attack and defence. With Madrid they play a lot of long balls and don’t rely on possession they’ll do well with or without kroos
No that's factual wrong madird retain possession with Kross without them we have been average
Did you start watching football last week?
it’s not about keep possession. kroos sets tempo from deep simply with his passes. he has so many different passes in his locker.
Mancity will face crisis this season and we will be lucky if we won end up top - 4 next season a new midfield has to be made and if we want new manager then Brighton manager should be the one [from mancity fan side]
You lot need to chill, imagine dominating the league for 4years, these players cbb. Relax, wanna bet they win the league?
I miss the real Manchester City.
This is the real man city bro 😅
@ then u havent watched them
Me and you both my friend
@@Karan_ftblclose your eyes and sleep man you are making noise in your girlfriends ears.
Once pep leave your small club Will be forgotten
Man City is still in second and it’s not even been a third of the season once they get to January might be a different story 🤷🏾♂️
City dont have the personnel rn to solve the problem
City need to focus on the epl and just forget about the UCL
City are definitely in a transition rn
They need a few proper signing before theyll get back to where they are
The legs in that midfield are cooked
Walker is ass honestly,puts more pressure on the defense anytime hes on the ball
Peps teams are built on a good mifield
If the intensity and press in the middle isnt there,the defense will feel so much pressure with such a high line
City failed to do business during the summer and thy are paying the price rn
We have to talk about Rico Lewis. That brother is not good at anything. Its like they got a fan from outside the stadium to jump on the pitch. Horrible defensively, and creates F all offensively. Definitely the worst player to ever start for City regularly.
As an Arsenal fan I’m fuming. Each loss reminds me how DUMB my team is ffs
It's over for us bro,we won't win anything
Pep is the root problem. Period. Yes injuries and the board poor transfer strategies have only exacerbated the situation, but at the end of the day, Pep’s decision making in tactics and personnel usage has been poor since last Sept (I think City won the PL in spite of Pep and not bc of him) and cost City. Harsh words, I know, but his philosophy last season and this season so far is the complete opposite of what it was in the Treble season: adaptability.
Maybe it’s arrogance or hubris or stubbornness but it sure can’t be bc he doesn’t see it. A blind person can see the issues and yet Pep persists with what is objectively not working and expecting a different outcome. Is that not the definition of insanity??
I like how fans give city a pass for missing rodri and letting in goals but get onto arsenal missing Odegaard and lacking creativity
😂won 4times mate odegaard hasn’t won nothing😂
I like how Arsenal fans keep comparing themselves with city🤣 delusion at its finest
@@reecetanner8096 nothing delusional here. City and arsenal are in near identical form. Both have or are experiencing an injury crisis including the main player for each team in rodri and Odegaard respectively. One can't create and the other can't defend but I'm delusional for pointing out hypocrisy. People are talking about sacking arteta but city's form is slightly worse and more worrisome
@@ENGAGEHIVE0 using your point Guardiola should be able to call up the players that won it 4 times to fix this.
We're talking about now and not the previous years
@@kryptik7528 it doesnt matter they are the raining defending champions for 4years in a row, they have the benefit of the doubt until mathematically they are out of it,arsenal dont because they havent gotten over the line instead they've thwrown massive leads at the top away
Manchester City before : 4 Premier leagues in a row
Manchester City now: 4 losses in a row
115 GUILTY verdict soon come and give them another L hahahahahahah
Pep has never done a 5peat. He won la liga 4peat as a player then a 3peat as a coach then a 3peat Bundesliga now seems to only settle for a 4peat pl. i think 4 titles in a row is his max
Before he won’t the 4peat with city 3peat was his max
@ not really as he won a 4peat of la ligas as a player with Barça
Mancity just didn't recruit a replacement for rodri... that's it...thats all they didn't do. They will go all in for one in January
Foden looking like Ozil atm
Stop making excuses Man City 🙄🙄 “Oh Rhodri is missing”, he’s one player get over it. This isn’t basketball, one player doesn’t play all 11 positions 😂 Rival fans need to stop making excuses for this team
Bro without rodri city are falling apart without him we saw that last. Without rodri city wouldn't win the league last season
Without salah Liverpool fall apart
Without saka arsenal fall off.

if man city won the league 5 times in a row how does that mean the name of the league is tarnished? you undervalue how incredible they have played these last couple years. the way they win games control games week in week out in my opinion i think as a team in the modern era they are up there with the best in europe
Simple
If you've watched City this season you can clearly see them struggling against all opposition they concede 4+ big chances every game . If you have a claim to be the best league in the world as the prem have you can't have such a team (in their current state of course) win the league
@@joyoussithole947they are only struggling defensively because they don’t have a dm replacement. other than that they are still playing exactly the football they play regardless. i just don’t get how if they somehow clutch this league that means the league is dead. they will still open up every team in europe even with this current team because of experience and muscle memory. even watching them today they were actually too good in that first half. but second half that baleba kid turned up and change the game for brighton
@@cerb12they couldn’t open up inter even while playing at home and got battered by sporting. You can’t say they’ll open up every team in Europe still
I dont care about City, actually glad they lost, did u see Carlos Baleba..Where did Brighton get that guy 😮
The back line is fully injured and walker is washed both left wingers are injured the only player that can solve the problem is nunes but he’s playing on the left because of the injuries can’t wait till all our players are back arsenal and city are shit according to lyes is it a one horse race for Liverpool
Mahrez is still missed. Gundogan is still butt-hurt about his time in Barca. Kovacic ain't it.
6:50 Gvardiol
City are 2nd in the league ?? Every one lose their minds!!
Pep lost 4 in a row in Bayern
no one gave this excuse when barca won the league with busi in the squad and then failed to compete next season that barca had key players missing. barca are broke and city have pockets running deep, yet you'd hear the injury excuse. i just am not buying it, they are shit. just say it already.
So true

If Arsenal or Liverpool (assuming they are the 2 main challengers) don't win the league this year, it will be a huge failure. Look at how much weaker City look without Rodri.
Why no discount for odegaard.
Liverpool will probably win it.

Stop Hyping Rodri bro. It’s not because of Rodri. He is part bht City has alot of thing hgoinh on behind it just coincide with rodri injury.
but u cannot ignore the fact Rodri's influence on the pitch made the whole team play better.
