Well. The season is petering out. Not with a bang but a whimper

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Haven't scored a goal from open play in 4 matches

Haven't kept a clean sheet in 9 matches

Wheels have fallen off

Haven't kept a clean sheet in 9 matches

Our inability to work how to beat their man to man was amazing to watch. Played the entire second half in our own half because we couldnt figure out how to get the ball past half way.

Was terrible.

Badly needed Thiago who seems to be the only bloke who can receive a ball and turn on it and beat a man to break open this man on man crap.

Everyone else was receive the ball, instantly pass it back to who passed it to me. Rinse and repeat.

Nobody to blame but ourselves though with that shocking first leg. Hope Atalanta go on and win it.

Now we need miracles in the league which given our current form seems very, very unlikely. Plus City be City.

 

[jod23]

Also couldnt believe we didnt get Grav on and he's the only guy in the squad who likes to take the player on, receive and turn etc.

How have the wheels completely fallen off? How have the players gotten lethargic and disinterested ? Amazing how bad it has gotten in just 1 and a half weeks

 

[peternorth]

Like Richmond, play the kids.

Owen Beck in the PFA SPFL TOTS.

City look to be progressing which will put another game on their schedule before the end of the season, I'm fine with that.

Playing with a squad of about 13 since Jan is the main reason.

Final is the week after the season ends.

Would have been a bit of soul searching the last couple of days. Interesting to see the attitude & intensity we come out with tonight

 

[Lebbo73]

This next 6 days is ******* bs. There needs to be some serious pressure put on the EPL by fans and clubs alike. It’s totally unacceptable to expect this many games to be piled on the players.

Yep, I agree. Not just for us, but for every club. But we all watch.
Almost have to make a rule that if you qualify for Europe, you don’t play the League Cup or something like that.

On a side note on the same topic, I love that the managers all agree, but never at the same time.

Pep yesterday
“It's unacceptable to let us play today. It's impossible, for the health of the players. It's not normal.
120 minutes, the emotions of Madrid, the way we lose, honestly. I know this country is special [with the FA Cup] but it's for the health of the players."
I just want to protect my players. It's common sense. I'm not asking for something special or privilege."

Pep 2 years ago when Liverpool pressing for the quad.
"Everyone has their own business to defend. We adapt. If they say play Saturday, we play Saturday. If they say play Tuesday, we play Tuesday. Thursday? We are going to play Thursday. Whatever they want, no problem. If I'm not satisfied, I go home and don't be manager of Man City.

I go to another league in the Maldives, the Maldives League, and play one game a week and I'm so comfortable under the coconuts and it would be so perfect. But it's not the case. You are playing at 12:30, I'm sorry Liverpool but I'm not involved with that."

Oh I thought they stopped doing that where they moved the finals before the season ended.

Yeah we all know managers all feel the same but only fight it when it's a problem for them, not when it's hurting their rivals haha.

That's wild! Haha

 

[Zidane98]

Needed the changes, team was very jaded.

 

[Zidane98]

Trent!! Oh how we missed him..

 

[jod23]

Poor goal to concede there. Not full of hope in this second half, we've just been off it for weeks.

Dont think Diaz is working on the right.

 

[Cooldude]

As a team, we are really poor at defending 1 goal leads
