Last season's pre season clearly set the tone for the league cup win and CL qualification - it was all despair when we lost to Yokohama F Marinos, but I knew it was destined to be a legendary season when we beat Stade Brestois 29 a few days later.

You were pointing at the cup final... We weren't playing that today..That's the point..

If people are going to keep avoiding the actual game and pointing at a previous win what's the point in discussing anything.

It's like stepping in dogshit and saying well my foot was fine when I stood here last week.

The fact that previous games prove your point wrong is the point.
 
I don't think that's fair... There's simply genuine arguments from both sides, which I acknowledge, but unfortunately there's no acknowledgement from the people who want to believe everything is great.
I, personally, don’t believe everything is great - but I do think it’s miles better than before, and that it’s for the first time in my lifetime got a better than evens chance of being even better in the near future.

there’s a real sense of “everything should be perfect by now” in the forum; which is bollocks
 
Odd simile, you have a weird mind.

Regarding the actual game, it was great.


So now you enjoy losing and I'm weird.

OK well that's a wrap

One game doesn't... We can look at all the defeats and it's clear we have defensive frailties... You know it too but you've decided to take issue with others saying it..

It's why the clubs bought a CB..

GK too hr can't kick it well enough and it's an issue.

Plenty of good to look at but these are key areas of concern.

Ahhh, this post is golden. It has so much potential to throw right back at you in the future.

Thank you Mr Chaos. Thank you.
<cheers>

Things will never be perfect and we'll always have problems. I'm not after Howe like some tonight. I just think we need too many chances to score and that Pope Trippier burn and Schar are a recipe for conceding goals.

That last sentence is excellent. Well said.

Will you be happier when Thiaw and Botman are the starters? Are they going to reassure you? Cos I doubt it’s far away

I would imagine so yes, but now even if they play they won't have Joelinton and Tonali inform of them, so people will ignore that and start asking for burn and Schar again when we get beat.

I don't think we'll ever see our best 11 this season... It's going to be one of them like 2 years ago ... Our intense style is a recipe for disaster.

We need wins not reasons to think we can get them surely?
 
All anyone can do is try to tell themsleves about positives, but it's only because it was Liverpool. Next week if they lose it'll start becoming difficult to bullshit ourselves out of.

Ultimately this side is already picking up injuries, suspensions, can't score more goals easily, concedes easily and is already out of the race for Europe if they lose at Leeds.

I can't see this team winning many games because like I said last week if you don't score goals when you're dominating games you're going to lose lots of games.
Out of the race for Europe after 3 games ha ha ha ha ha

Every single club in the country has ups and downs. City have arguably the most expensive squad and most successful manager in Europe and have struggled.

We have had an uncomfortable pre-season but honestly, our performances have been a pleasant surprise. We have been hard to beat and actually managed a few goals today when 10 men.

Good signs

If we lose I think we can rule it out.. There's 5 of the top 6 looking particularly strong.

We're also a thin squad, already carrying injuries and will be playing 3 a week.

Just saying it like I see it and we've seen this before 2 years ago,so.
 
It's just self soothing when people take pride in defeat. They will find another method if we lose to Leeds.

Maybe they'll sight the Cup win, championship league and use the old ' remember where we came from mental gymnastic.

It's all kinda true, but it's purely a coping method because they're in psychological pain.
You don’t take any pride in that performance? Pathetic
