What Is Wrong With Manchester City?
« on: 21:31:31, 28/11/24 »
Seriously, what on Earth is going on? Every shot on target our opponents take finishes up in the back of the net. At least Joe Hart was good at stopping the opposition scoring, even if his distribution was poor.


Obviously, we've been through infinitely worse times, and this will be a test for our younger supporters.


We are on for the most fearful hammering at Anfield this weekend.....😱

Ederson gets so bored ,he plays as a third fullback.

Where has Haaland gone?

Haarland scored the first goal  in the 3-3 game and in others has many shots and misses.
I doubt they will beat the scousers,but are still a strong team

I think, on reflection, that Pep hit the nail on the head yesterday when he pointed to the loss of Rodri for almost the entire season. He compared it with Barcelona’s treble wining year in 2009, and asked whether they could have achieved it without Messi? It was a rhetorical question, of course.


Forest at home, then Palace away. We can turn the corner…..🤞

Wouldn't like to call the winner of the upcoming Derby. City having a shocking run,but I think the Rico Lewis red card should be rescinded as VAR showed it to be wrong.

I know it sounds a little outlandish, but if we carry on for much longer in our current form we will find ourselves dragged down into a relegation dogfight. It will be just like the old days!


We need to replace Ederson in goal. Distribution is vital to Pep's style of play, of course, but surely the ability to stop the sodding thing hitting the back of the net has to be the first priority for any keeper? Every shot the opposition (ANY opposition) place on target seems to result in City conceding. Ortega needs to be given an extended run, or we need to sign somebody else in the January transfer window.


I tell you something, I reckon Salford City must be fancying their chances of creating the biggest giant killing for decades when we meet in a couple of weeks time. God forbid, but it honestly wouldn't suprise me too much.....

Having said all that, perhaps Gary Neville had it spot on when he pointed out earlier today that City's players almost never get a break from football. The team have been so successful over recent years that they are participating in a 'cup final' every week, sometimes twice a week. And the plethora of idiotic Mickey Mouse 'competitions' that are forever rolling off the production line don't exactly help either, and not just for our players.


Seriously, what the hell is the European Nations League? Who gives a flying phart about the Confederations Cup? And now they have ten thousand countries competing in every bloated World Cup tournament and every tedious European Championship. Absolutely ridiculous, it really is.

True.


INHO I don't think anybody is playing fantastically well right now. Both Manchester teams are atrocious, but Arsenal and Chelsea are not terribly inspiring, either. Liverpool are the pick of the bunch, if course, but they hardly compare with previous brilliant teams we have seen represent that club.


There were rumours circulating not very long ago about a player's strike next summer. I hope it comes to pass, I really do.
