Sack this fraud and give some wildcard a chance in the final For me what is worst is he looks VERY relaxed. With Frankie - who was out of his depth -, and even Tuchel, Conte… you could see the stress on their faces when things were not going well. You could see they cared - trying to figure out how to get things right. We suffered together with them This guy is a loser who doesn’t really care. He doesn’t deserve us. It’s like being in a loveless relationship. Edited February 18, 2024 by Chuckso lucio and TheHulk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtf was he thinking. City did n't play much different at 0-0. All of them up front trying to pressure and they were leaving gaps behind that we exploited twice. But we were not letting them play ball inside our box ! So what was Poch afraid of in the second half ? He could at least have kept them from reaching the box with such ease.

Easy to say this when we don't know what would have happened, we could keep attacking and lose 2-1 in which case you would still be moaning. robsblubot, Fernando and bluesman2610 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they did not. But our midfield was an empty space. They might as well have put some chairs and coffee there.

People are saying Mudryk and Madueke should have come on but the wingers were doing important doubling up work to stop Doku and Foden and I’m not sure either of them would be able to continue that with discipline.

Gundalf 806 Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 City's xG value increased more significantly between the 45th minute and the moment of the formation change (71st minute) than between that change and the end of the game. The pressure had already increased noticeably before that. bluesman2610 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 I like to see Pep crying for losing the premier and also crying when he loses again the champions league. He managed one thanks to Lukaku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! Those two players should have never been part of the roster (IMO on loan), but since that’s what we’ve got on the bench, this was NOT the game for them. You need some to be neat and tidy on the ball otherwise City steals it from you and these players can't do that atm. I think folks criticizing the changes are ignoring the low quality sitting on the bench — both compared to city and our own bench from not that long ago. We are missing senior players who can come in and produce something consistently, which is what a game like this demands. For me the players who should've come on did, and then he closed shop with that he got, once City started piling up the pressure. Can't disagree with the strategy considering the distance between the rosters atm. Edited February 17, 2024 by robsblubot Strike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdlk 286 Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 Theres a not written rule in football - when the team is doing well or good, you dont make changes! With subs Poch gave the chance city to calm down, especially their back line and to start bringing more pressure on us, thats why and we conceded.
