    I think this is the make or break game for Kompany

    Thought we looked more solid tonight but mediocre. Can’t imagine a top team with Navas and Clichy in it. Great to see VK back, only positive

    Chelsea kicked us off the park again. Quite how they weren’t getting booked, very frustrating

    Cheating bastards yet again. Hazard is the worst of them. We outplayed them again and lost. Why?
    Lousy defence. Cant shoot. No defensive midfield.
    Shambolic really. To have so much of the game yet again and lose. Questions should be asked.
    My view? Tactics. Doesnt work against good teams.

    Well guys and gals that’s 2 points out of 9 – v Liverpool, Arsenal and now Chelsea. Nevermind the Europa League – looks like we’ll be doing a Chelsea and be out of Europe altogether. I didn’t see the game (don’t have BT or Sky) but something has to change. How can PG select Delph over Yaya? It beggars belief. The answer? Oh just spend another £300m. Will we beat Hull or concede goals again?

    I thought our centre midfield was more solid than normal and Delph did well and was good on the ball. Only suggestion would be to change it to be more attacking once Chelsea showed their hand second half and sat deep. The goals were lucky on their part, rather than our usual bad defending, Thought defence was much better but we missed some sitters once again

    Silva was kicked up and down the field, look at the protection Hazard gets from refs (eg Herrera red card) Silva is a gift to the premier league but with treatment like that it’s a wonder he sticks around, that Kante challenge was ridiculous and then the Pedro one, dear me

    Peps over tinkering is taking the piss now. If he played his best players in there best positions it would be a lot easier for us all. How can it be we have changed our team the most out of anyone in England this season but it still feels like we have under-utilised the squad. What an underwhelming season it’s been. No confidence before any game anymore and seems like we could concede everytime the opposition goes forward. Our players seem knackered and lack of confidence. FINALLY Kompany plays but watch him be benched next game. Iheanacho one of our biggest positives from last season nowhere to be seen all season. A horrible goalkeeping situation because Hart wasn’t even given a chance. Nasri on loan having a good season. Aguero ruined from him trying to turn him into a Pep player. De Bruyne having a poor season for his standards because he’s being played out of position same with Fernandinho. Does he not believe in substitutions? Mostly always ineffective, too late, wrong player and hardly ever uses all 3. Yet again another season of no youth given a chance, one of the so called best academies in the world and none given a chance ever, not even in cup games anymore. Don’t tell me Maffeo wouldn’t do a good job at RB or Sancho wouldn’t do a better job than Navas. Lost to Monaco because of Peps stubbornness. 5-3 and ruined it before a ball was even kicked. Leroy Sane is the only positive I can take from this season. I want to like you Pep but you’re making it really hard for me.

    Also thought Delph did Well yesterday good to se Kompany again.
    I thought we did an okej game But as usual our defence makes misstakes.
    Kompany should have marked better and caballero should have taken the shot even IF it was a reflection. Second Fernandinho is going in to hard But that kind of situations happens in Football.

    I have Said it many Times we have 4 fullbacks that simpley is not good enough
    They are really shit. And it surprises me that we not have played maffeo or anyone else for some games they need to get There chanses when the ones we have clearly is not good enough.

    I have no problems with squad rotation normaly but to put Navas at right defender is just sad and with the squad we have we can not rotate we do not have good enough players for every positions.

    Sure we can blame Pep But can we honestly say he got a fair chanse with this squad?
    Should MP have Done it better?

    It’s been a bad season But i can se some good things Sterling,Sane,Stones,Jesus we have made the squad younger and with Quality, New keeper, better fullbacks and a holding midfielder Toni Kroos!! for good sake and we Will be back on tracks

    I am not at all despondent…we are improving, we will get better. A clear out is now certain at the end of season and we may not like some of the “outs” but the sqaud does need changeing and strengthen.. We must keep playing until the end of the season……very well. Hull…will be after at least one point…this is no easy game. We need to be all fired up and start scoring, we have enough in the squad who can put the ball in the net, do not leave to Augerro every week

    Well said Max. Pep has been found out. City just ran out of ideas plus the usual glaring misses. Getting rid of Hart was a major mistake and boy have we paid for that. Pellegrini and Mancini were sacked for far less than Guardiola has achieved.

    I still obviously want Pep to continue on from this season I’m just disappointed of the season overall and find myself questioning his decisions all the time. He’s pretty much changing our whole style of play and footballing philosophy which will take time. I have a friend who supports Bayern and he told me at the start he hated him and then the football became the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen so I’m holding onto that. Will it work in the most demanding and competitive league in the world though. Sadly I have my doubts. Extending on from Aguero, since day one Pep said he wanted more from Aguero and he could get that out of him. Then he drops him against Barcelona then when Jesus comes the media have a field month of how unsettled he is. He’s changed Aguero’s game immensely. Tracking back, build up play, playing a lot with his back to the goal that it’s completely stifled what he’s good at. Aguero is notorious for not even training, he should’ve said Sergio you score goals stay up front kid and that’s it. Instead his arrogance and blunt decision making (one of many decisions this season) completely backfired. he ruffled his feathers for absolutely no reason, I don’t think he’ll ever be good for us again.

    The only thing missing from Augerros game is not tactical but he needs to play with a smile on his face again….then…I am sure you will see a few hat tricks.

    Is this season an improvement on last?
    That is the key question. Everything else is getting there.
    My own view. Not much improvement if at all. Cant beat the top teams home or away often enough. Why? Bad approach to big games.

    Adlab…do not forget that other teams improve as well….it is very competitive league now. I take the longer view, dssaappoints will always happen but on the subject of comparisons to last season, I believe improvements are being made, we will see better next season but the season after that I think we will be awesome. Like others, some of Peps decision are a little alien to us but rightly or wrong he is trying to change the playing culture of the club, this is some task. The Epl has, I think, surprised him a little but more so because of the culture of the players than tactical. EPL players are spoilt rotten, how many times do you hear that players not putting the effort in, from whatever team. In Europe, I doubt that happens, they have to earn there money because. Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar perhaps the exceptions…..but they also rarely go “missing” in games

    Brian. You are probably right and perhaps expectations were too great. However what nags at me the most is the goalkeeper situation. That was poor judgement.
    Will we be in the CL next season? Not so sure.

    Adlab… we have the squad and Manager to do it……CL qualification
    Hart….I did not want Joe to go but there must be more to this story than we know. he also had to improve on his play, which was poor at times. Bravo was also a poor choice. Willy is ok, does not let us down too many times but is not the answer for next season. I have doubts about Heaton and Pickford as potential keepers, both are what I call line keepers, shot stoppers, not what Pep wants, think he will opt abroad again. We need a convincing win to morrow, that means the team playing well together again but scoring goals.. Points are there to be won and dropped. by all teams…nothing is certain in the run in because of the nature of team positions

    clearly this season may be our worst season for some time but i still Think we can se some positivs from the season Sterling,Sane,Stones Young players and i Think Sane and Sterling have had a great season Stones is going to be class he has allready done a fair season maybe even a good season if you Think with the situation he has had, comming in as a record buy all the press on him new manager, Kompany who atleast i thought would be his mentor and help him on the pitch injured and playing with Kolarov and Otamendi not the best defenders and Kolarov not even a central defender a fullback line that is to old and slow, And the keeper situation aswell.

    The keeper situation and peps over believe on some players positioning rotation is 2 thing i´m very dissapointed of, Bravo waste of mooney when we had Hart even if he was poor in his feet he would had save a lot more and how hard can it be to play a slow ball to our fullbacks that is a dicision i can´t understand, And to play Kolarov as central defender when we all saw how slow he is last season, Navas on the right defender spot? if we do have the best youth teams then play them have the currage that is what he is known for.

    and not an excuse but we had some bad injuries Kompany almost all season same for Gundogan, Yaya in an exile almost halv the season, Sagna, Zabba, Delph injured alot, Fernandhinio and Aguero suspended for a long run, Jesus injured Instantly.

    i dont Think we have good coverage either the only players i Think can make an impact from the beanch offensivly is Nolito,Kelichi and Yaya the rest is not good enoug
