Castles might be an ABU but he's no fan of city and is always calling them out.
He was calling bs on that stuff they were saying about not having the most expensive player in any position in an attempt to down-play their spending.
Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

I do love it when teams employ a system specifically designed to peg the opposition back through possession and pressing, and then complain that they have 11 men behind the ball. What do they expect? Leicester players to be running up the pitch when they don't have the ball?
Don't box them in to their own final third if you don't want them all there.
Klopp moans about it frequently, and I remember a few Barca players doing the same under Pep too.
Imagine coming out and claiming the opposition didn’t want to play when they’ve just scored 5 past you.
That means if they did want to play, they could have scored 10. It just makes city’s defending look even worse with comments like that.
I know I dont take as much interest in non utd football as i used to, but im sure i would have remembered this?Domestic Quadruple
Yeah they did the domestic treble a couple of seasons ago. But made it into a quadruple with the Community Shield

i hope Leicester offer a public apology for this
Rodri is right. FA needs to change the rule of the game. Goals should no longer be the metric for a win or lose. Possession count should be made the one and only criteria for winning a game next season onwards.
City should be last one complaining about fairness. All 3 penalty were correct decision. Maybe they should do tactical fouling outside the penalty box.
Their downfall has been ever since their tactical fouling has been exposed. That’s the main reason they were rarely counter attacked.
Fernandinho has made a living from tactical fouls. With him past his best, City are being exposed.
He's done this a few times.
In fairness Leicester had all 11 men behind the ball on at least 5 occasions.
KdB has said similar things after a loss too.
boohoo the other team played football in a way I don't like. That's kind of the point mate.
Imagine coming out and claiming the opposition didn’t want to play when they’ve just scored 5 past you.
Coming from an ex Atletico player too, jfc.
City taking another moral victory I see.
Apparently Lindelöf was better
I see someone has taken media training from Klopp
"They didn't play into our hands, and allow us to beat them. Unfair!"
Always a chance that Rodri's comments have been lost in translation. It is his 2nd (even 3rd) language he's speaking in, after all. Even still, the club's line seems to be complaining very loudly that Leicester came and played a system we couldn't deal with, and that it's somehow their fault that we lost.
Think we're all a bit flustered and bruised at the moment - these comments about Leicester's system being "anti-football" (or whatever) seem to line up with the hare-brained subs that Pep was making, trying to force the issue by abandoning the double pivot and just handing the midfield to Leicester.
I think our win last week against Wolves was more of an outlier about where we currently are in terms of fitness, readiness, etc. and that Leicester showing us up was more of a reflection of our current state. Things will get better, but Pep seems to be properly flapping at the moment. Not sure what it means.

I know Kloppo loves a moan about style of play sometimes, when teams don’t want to play football, and I love him for doing it. But you are very wide of the mark there, as he’s the last coach to come out with a suggestion that football isn’t being fair to him. Klopp is the anti Guardiola in every sense - and it’s not more obvious than now. When Pep and City perceive they are hard done by, their heads drop. When chips are down for Klopp - and they have been many times in his career, he works hard to try and fight back and expects his team to fight back with him.
That’s just hilarious from Rodri. But players do take on the image of their coaches, and this stuff he is coming out with, is what he is hearing from Pep, no doubt. It’s a bad look to play the ‘woe is me’ card in their circumstance.
11 guys behind the ball can score 5 goals then Rodri needs to have a look at how football is meant to be played.
Didn't he play for Simeone who has literally those tactics yet he played ?

Basically saying that City can’t defend for shit while Leicester did it rather well... but then saying defending was down to luck!
What an utter wanker
Leicester did well to score 5 goals considering they did nothing.
Rodri's quotes are the equivalent of a boxer being knocked down five times in a humiliating KO loss and then claiming they were the better fighter afterwards. Clearly punch drunk.
Duncan you bitch it was one game. We have the best defensive record in the past 3 years. Shag your mum
United have the most titles won in the last 20 years woo
Hey this is not thread for chit chat!
Anyway, little bit of fun

Throwback to Kompany’s old “moral victory” quotes. They’re just a pathetic club, despite the money.
In fairness thats pretty rational. Same thing being said here. Stupid thing to say. "Everyone should play like us, so we can trash them."
They are watchin Liv-Ars game
This is why I posted it, to show every one we are the same.
Only Klopp can say "they did not play the way we wanted them to play" and get away with it.
Agree. As a total club neutral, I saw that as an unusually cogent self-assessment.
