Bluemoon goes into Meltdown
- Thread starter Logan!
- Start date
Despite the clear as mud red card:
Those darn rags again...
Those darn rags again...
Another squad revamp required:
Doubts creeping in:
Providing they don't "lost" in Germany...
They were the better side? Lets be honest neither side were great and if Barca had their arses in gear from first whistle, 11 v 11 it could well have ended 4-0 then too.
No matter how they sugarcoat it, Barca are a level above them.
Can Pep still walk on water, btw, Bluemooners?

or 2.
John Stones tonight
I won't say that's very unbelievable.
Also, KDB is world class and I don't think many city fans would think he's better than Messi. Let's not exaggerate City fans.
Go on Bluemoon, come back and tell me im exaggerating. That is exactly what they're like. I have seen Sterling duibbed as Henry-esque in there.
KdB is not "world class". world class is Messi, CR, Neymar, Bale. KdB isnt close to that echelon
Theyre mind boggling. And there is no way they were on drugs, that was just bitter resentment
Someone should point out Pep's horrible record away from home in Europe and see how lightly they view that German game.
"we may be invited to the party but we aren't wanted"
!
!This kind of response is the reason why I feel Jose's approach against Liverpool was justified. 'More shots on goal, equal possession, Barca looked not as dangerous' 4 fecking 0. What's the point?
They can pour as much sugar on it as they want - they've been humped at Spurs, salvaged a home draw with Everton and now been humped at Barca in the last month. Our Pep may just be feeling a wee bit of pressure.
to be fair i thought city were doing pretty well last night, the red card is blatent and cant have any arguments, the humping and the red card ultimatly will paper over the big story for me which is where does this leave Aguero now, biggest game of the season and Pep leaves him out ?
Pep was in LvG mode probably. Let us do something crazy and be called a hero if it works.
"Better team until the sending off"
I've heard it all now
I've heard it all now
Part of the reason Barca weren't in 1st gear was because they weren't allowed to. City's pressure forced their keeper into sloppy mistakes and stuff. It is f no surprise that they "got into gear" vs 10 men
One poor draw and two thrashings in their last 3 games. If that was us all the usual idiots in here would be having a meltdown.
Last four are :
Celtic 3 -3 City
Tottingham 2 - 0 City
City 1 - 1 Everton
Barca 4 - 0 City
If this was United it would be all over town..
As much as City fans complain about media bias, there is an upside that the media doesn't give a shite about them, they can avoid mountains of articles questioning whether they are in crisis.
Yeah, not great, they'll probably play Sunderland 4x in a row now tonking them 5 nil each time.
Except they are in 1st place in the Premiership and in qualifying position in CL - much ado about nada
But if that was United, the contrast between strong start and awful recent form would be all the more appealing to the pundits. There'd be mountains of 'Honeymoon is over', 'Welcome to the PL, Pep', 'Scholes says United's early wins masked weak squad', 'wheels coming off the bus' etc.
I think the difference is that even with early wins United did not look revolutionary or an elite side. When City are clicking, they look elite. Just my two cents
But my point is not about how United have done this season. It's about what the pundits would be writing if United had produced a season like City so far. The strength of the early performances would only make the criticism of the last four games more enthusiastic.
That's what happens when a club is big news. United stories, good, bad or indifferent sell papers, generate clicks, get people to comment people to share those stories on social media much more that stories surrounding Manchester City. Who is a Manchester City rent a quote for the press when they need to publish a negative story on City? Scholes is that for United. I can't think of one regarding City.
Toure's agent.
I was thinking more of pundits, but fair point on Toure's agent.
Exactly my point.
I agree with this. You only have to look at who they get in to be a pundit for their games. City 'legend' Richard Dunne. The gulf is 'massive'.
An actual quote from the Bravo thread on BM
Deluded twats. In the first instance thinking Neuer would leave Bayen for them. In the second instance trying to put Bravo anywhere near the worlds elite keepers. There would be very few teams that would take him on a free atm. To top it all those chumps over the road have paid a massive transfer fee for him.

I don't agree, if United showed some wow factor like City have this season few would be doing anything but fawning all over Mou and how he was always the right man for the job
Yeah I tend to agree with this.
Mate this would be crisis in the media if this was United under Mou..
Agree.
United 'won the transfer window' with Zlatan, Pogba, Mkhi and Bailly along with Mourinho's appointment.
Anyone who claims there was little media fawning is lying or blinkered.
On the field is where it matters and Utd have been the second least impressive of all title contenders. The least being Chelsea.
If United had gone 4 games with 2 thrashing and no wins regardless of previous results, the media would have been all over the place harping on about crisis.
These City lots trying to console themselves about how they play and "possession" when all they achieved so far are heavy defeats.
No one praises Wenger for getting mopped around while playing beautifully.
Pep goes around showing tactical naivety and people want to dress it as losing while playing well. What kind of joke is that
Other managers and teams (especially us) get hounded by the media after each defeat regardless of how the game went on but we're sitting here seeing people trying to find excuses and sugarcoat City's defeats.

For an away team playing Barcelona they were not too bad until that point tbf. Certainly not the better team of course.
