Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

Maybe they should sack pep and hire Allardyce.. like pretty much any replacement will be a downgrade anyway.

In all seriousness IF any problem was pep then maybe he just needs to adapt better to footballs ever changing ideals and tactics. Mourinho has very much failed in this, pep may go the same way.

Hopefully they'll get a City legend to replace him.
 
That picture doesn't do Moyes any justice whatsoever.

Now this is a true representation of the visionary that came to our club. He was way too advanced for his time and I'm glad his genius is now being recognised after he out-tacticked Fraudiola. He is able to work with technology in a way the Pep Guardiola is my idol can only dream of. Each of his wrinkles are like the rings of a tree, and show his years of experience and wisdom. Note the deadpan eyes, that make sussing him out and his thoughts almost impossible. The grey suit has the connotations of being able to adapt to any situation, the perfect blend of yin and yang. He is not extreme in his philosophy in any way: not too attacking, not too defensive, not too possession-based, not too set-piece based. Grey. The perfect blend. Note how his right arm is lightly gripping the armrest - not too tightly. Just like his grip on the Premier League title once he eventually wins it with West Ham. The tie lightly brushing his crotch which is a warning sign to mavericks like Zaha that the fruits of his loins will not be touched. He's also slightly leaning to his left, which shows how he slightly favours the left wing and likes to employ players like Leighton Baines to do his bidding; but the stabilising hand on his left thigh means that he won't focus purely on that side. Managers like Pep don't stand a chance. He showed incredible resilience to claw back a 3-0 deficit against Jose last week. Klopp is next in his line and he will not hesitate to set his team out to get a point from them too. And this will continue dos, tres, quatro times. Or as long as it takes for his pure, earth-shattering prodigious brilliance to be recognised.
:lol:
 
Boggles my mind they haven’t signed back up for Aguero. Jesus isn’t consistent enough.
 
I’m glad we got some points against West Ham, and pissed we didn’t get anything from this City side.

Fair play to Moyse.

Haven't laughed so much at post for ages. Thanks for this.
 
I don't think we'd have qualified for the champions league under Moyes.
I don't know.. just don't know. But that I am defending him. But the others didn't do much good either. If he would have been given cash to sign 20 players who knows. Jagielka was a hell of a defender..

Some of these Ciry posts “Top 4 in doubt”, I mean, come on.
I think Everton will be aiming for top 4 along with the usual suspects. If City's form continues, they're certainly not getting in there without a fight. They've looked bereft of ideas and the fluidity that you normally associate with them just isn't there consistently yet. I think they'll get in but it'll be more because other teams drop points than them doing it by themselves

To be fair most of the teams who played into August look not fit.

If we win our game in hand we'll be 2 points behind you guys and we're without half a team. Like yourselves we'll comfortably be top 4. There'll be no fight without a complete meltdown for either side.

But that will be after just 6 games. You've dropped points to Leeds, Leicester and West Ham already this season - 50% of your games once you've played your game in hand and you can't really say you deserved more from any of them.
We lost to Villa in a capitulation that I've not seen for a long time but dropping points away to Everton, with it being a derby and the form there currently in, is to be expected. I'd be worried if I was a City fan right now as without Aguero, you look toothless. On the other hand,we've played Arsenal and Chelsea and come away with maximum points.
This isn't a dig, it's just my opinion and like I say, I think you'll get top 4, but dropping points to 'lesser' teams has been running through City since the start of last season (Norwich away being the start).
 
What was Pep’s post match interview like? Was he ‘so so happy, so so happy’ with the performance?

They don’t look the same team at all in my opinion, I don’t expect them to challenge this year.

Other teams won’t keep it up, it’s five games into the season, also your last sentence doesn’t make sense, the only way you win anything is by other teams dropping points.

Anyway, if they miss top 4 it would be glorious.

Excellent! Any thoughts on the wireless mouse, the crazy bastard.

I think what I meant (and worded quite clumsily) is that in seasons gone past, City have won the league rather than relying on others to do them favours, the same as Liverpool last year.
And I agree, if they missed out on Top 4 after spending the equivalent of the GDP of a small country (all fairly of course), then it would be hilarious!

City fans keep saying without half a team. You literally had everyone except Laporte while De Bruyne on the bench yesterday. Can you really count Mendy and Jesus when Cancelo & Aguero are better and more regular players than those two?

They played West Ham who had a one man midfield!

Absolutely but we'll still get in or around 80 points minimum. Before the season kicked off I predicted us 5 or so points down on you guys when you come to the Etihad.

When Laporte and Kun are back and fully fit well be much stronger. I think it's simple over reaction to a tough run of games and injuries.

We're a shadow of the team we were but I don't think we've fallen into the pack just yet.

We're without Kdb (would have started when fit, ) Laporte, Ake, Fernandinho, Aguero was clearly rushed back and is now crocked again.

Try watching United with half fit Rashford rushed from injury, no Greenwood, no Maguire, no McTominay, no Telles or Shaw and Fernendes not fit enough to start as a comparison.

Literally an injured striker up top, best player in the league in the sidelines, best cb at the club out, both lbs out and 2nd striker. That's 4 of the starting XI either unfit to play or injured.

Welcome to the first half of our season 19/20 minus the squad depth and the 500 odd million defence.

Again, I’m struggling to see where is this half missing. Your regular XI would have been Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, KDB, Silva, Sterling, Aguero & one of Mahrez/Foden/Torres/Gundogan

From those regular XI, the one missing in your XI yesterday were De Bruyne & Laporte. That‘s two.

Oh relax mate, we have watched our squad missing last season. Pogba injured for more than 65% of his last season, Rashford was injured from January to lockdown. McTominay was also injured from end of December to mid March. Martial was injured from end of august to end of October. Oh don’t get me started with Shaw and Tuanzebe.

Do you think Peps time is coming to a close? It's no secret he only stays at a club for around 4 years because he burns them out with his high intensity. A few seasons ago they were chasing the opposition in packs now from what I've seen of City that seems to be dropping off a cliff with the exception of Foden.

Gundogan looks like he's finished. Jesus will never be a long term substitute for Kun, B. Silva looks like a shadow of his former self, D. Silva hasn't been replaced (maybe a case could be made for Foden) both full back positions are looking suspect, Garcia looks like he wants to go to Barca, Laporte seems to have his fair share of injuries, same as Fernandinho. . The only positives I see are De Bruyne, ederson Sterling, Foden and maybe Rodri and Ruben Diaz. Mahrez I could take or leave him because he's so inconsistent.

Just a short time ago it looked like City just needed a few tweaks. Now it's looking like another rebuild could be on its way.
 
Laporte is a big miss but I think the attack is the issue not defence at the moment. Sterling at false 9 is not working. Aguero was injured and now injured again after barely playing for 5 months or so. They miss Jesus no matter how you think of him. KDB also missed last couple matches and thry looked far better when he came on. I think not getting a striker would really come back to haunt them unless Sterling finally learned how to be the kind of false 9 that pep really wants

Wrong Cancelo is not first choice left back. He's 3rd at best, 1st choice is Mendy and Ake second. . That's 3 and as I said a clearly injured Aguero up top who couldn't run. On Pep for that, hell likely nbe out another 2-3 weeks now. Anyway we're gone off topic should probably move to the City thread as this one is for funny bm comments. My bad for not reading the thread title.
 
He needs to show them he is a great coach
Pep needs to show that he is a great coach, at this moment, he seems stuck in a very deep rut.
Their "Media thread"
There is an article on BBC web page this morning about Sterlings new foundation to help disadvantage young people to which he his donating £1 million. Be interesting to see if it makes headline on tv for the next 5 days or how many times Silly Sally interviews him on the cosy little breakfast show.
Marcus Rashford on BBC Breakfast for the SIXTH successive day this time as the lead item. 2000 doctors including eminent paediatricians are giving their professional opinion and concerns on child hunger. Even Conservative councils and MPs are saying the government decision is wrong. They are NOT following a footballer. They are doing their jobs.
The BBCs pictures include one of him on the pitch with a spray of sweat around him like a halo on the saintly figure they are painting him to be on and off the pitch.
And once they given the headlines and lots of red and white pics the programme gets down to the serious business of dealing with the matter.

anyone who complains about Rashford doing this is a ****, pure and simple. Sorry but it's true and ironically, they're being as self centered and selfish as they claim he is.
Great to see Marcus distributing the contents of Luke Shaw's fridge
Manchester United should pay their fair share of taxes instead of offshoring. This would support his scheme. That’s not to say he is not a caring person and should not be admired.

Sky News last night - Liverpool win their first premier league game after van Dyke's injury
Yep, every shit scouse performance and defeat will no doubt get a Van Dijk mention somewhere in the story. Imagine if they had eight first team players missing, they'd try and get the league halted.
It is now Day Eight, and Danny Moron in the Daily Excrement still thinks that Pickers shouldn't be playing today. No mention of the elbow into James' ribcage, though. But I suppose Danny would be of the same opinion re Virgil had The Most Famous Dutchman To Ever Grace The PL not, er, yer know, tripped over a blade of Toffee grass and slipped on, er, yer know, the Greatest Ass Ever to Bounce on the hallowed turf of Goodison.
Keown says 'City are anchored in the bottom half of the table' Talk about being negative.
Did he really say that !
Anchored after 5 games
What a knob
City find Themselves in the bottom half Of the table. ( we are 12th)

Utd are now 15th but only 3 points from top 4

Have to laugh really

Seems okay to me. Only one of those is unexpected
"United's kids boss it and take a fantastic point from big-spending Chelsea. Dreadful City drop two points at lowly Hammers"
"Bereaved Reds overcome a plague of injuries to beat plucky Blades"
Ole shifts the Balance

Guardiola languishes in the bottom half of the table,whilst Ole’s revival skills prepare Manchester United to retake the City bragging rights.


Liverpool beat Sheffield United in a rightfully emotional Anfield still in shock from losing their inspirational captain.
