The defeatist mentality has really sunk in from their fans to the coach down to the players. It’s actually a joy to watch unfold as they’re a bunch a spineless cheating cunts who can’t take it when things don’t go their way after attempting to buy success.
There seems to be this media sentiment that we should feel sorry for City and that Liverpool will “run away” with the title yet again… I don’t have one iota of pity for City. They think they are entitled to everything cause they spent money building their squad and bullying teams to the title. Watching Leicester dismantle them brought joy to me and their defensive issues have been something so long standing it doesn’t even warrant mentioning really. Since they sold Kompany, they simply haven’t replaced him, not to mention their venture into signing fullbacks for 3 seasons straight…
You see that’s the type of fan of citeh I remember.
I remember laughing with one when they were bought out and he was saying ‘ I fucking bet someones going to fucking invent a water powered car next week’
( the joke was better because he’s definitely not a climate change denier, quite the opposite)
But all that seemed to have disappeared now. Hopefully not.
Indeed, its is genuinely quite baffling when they trot out the line that they ‘’ don’t have the players, injuries taken its toll, Laporte is injured’’ when Pep has spent more than 400 million pounds on the defence alone. To put their spending into context, their starting back five yesterday cost £173 million with the combined cost of the starting XI being circa £434 million. The subs bench cost around £ 85 million so you have upwards of half a billion pounds worth of players for a squad starting a Premier League game in game 3 of a season.
It is utterly ludicrous to feel ‘sorry’ for them with the numbers involved when it is their sheer ineptness in the transfer process that they have employed. They have fucked it up and doubled down on stupidity and don’t deserve anything other than being pilloried.
No team that has spent the money they have should be this derailed by injuries. They should have solutions.
Pep is a fucking fraud. The whole point of management is to navigate these issues and find the answers. His approach seems to be give me perfect players and perfect conditions and I’ll be a great manager. That’s bollocks.
Even though he is a bellend of stratospheric proportions himself, I reckon Ibrahimovic pretty much nailed it with his descriptions of Guardiola in his book.
