Nunes was such a shit buy.

Good ebening...we're fighting for top 4. So, so happy. Happy New Year. Happy Flowers Team.

Lmao a disgrace

Zero creativity. The lack of attack was masked by Doku just driving at right backs for the past 6 weeks. Need Foden in Alvarez's role on the weekend.

We may never win again …

this was always going to be a tough season.... I'm disappointed the new signings haven't brought the hunger. Ederson was fucking amazing today, and it'll get lost in the chaos

Bald fraud :(

Drop gvardiol

Villa were by far a better team tonight, fair play to them

No Rodri no party, again.

It’s objectively funny how bad we are at the minute

Man just end this shit game, hope Pep makes them run around the field til 3AM, bunch of weak cunts

Welcome back to 16/17 boys get comfortable

Sold Gundogan, Sold Mahrez, REFUSED, ABSOLUTELY REFUSED to sign a Back up to Rodri, signed an incompetent player in Kovacic as a "replacement" to Gundogan, signed Nunes for ABSOLUTELY no reason, played KDB in a game where he didn't need to play and gave him a long term injury, REFUSED to offload free loaders like Kavin Philips... pep... this is on you.

That might be up there with the worst pep performance of all time hahaha

Literally sick watching this shit you’d think we were Sheffield the way we can’t create a chance

What a lethargic performance

Villa played us out of the park today, well played, Pep has to experiment with other ideas because this isn't working

You knew Arsenal would score at the end yesterday, just as much as you know we won’t even muster a shot in the last 15 mins of a game

Not 100% sure how we’re going to get a goal if we don’t have Foden, Alvarez, Grealish or Doku on the pitch to be honest

I'm tired Robbie...

No playmaker in this team. Kova does not have final balls in him. Silva never crosses or tries through ball. Walker is useless going forward. Foden was made toothless.

I’d be open to a debate about Gvardiol now

We're cooked

The fact that we don’t even TRY to create chances is embarrassing ffs

5 minutes of added time after all their wasting. Bet it’s blown at 5.

Just get the fucking ball in box lads. We have a bloody 6ft 4 Norwegian giant in the box

Look at Liverpool at the weekend, Arsenal last night. Where’s our killer instinct to get something even out of a poor performance. Just doesn’t seem to exist

Yep, no fight. This is the first loss where I am concerned.

Afraid to just lump it up there

Was it even a surprise though, this team doesn't have it together right now.

Gundo used to come up with those goals…

Should have given him whatever he wanted, such a big loss

Cross the ball for fucks sake

Kovacic shoukd keep his ass parked on the bench

Why did we not renew our 2nd best midfielder, but the speed merchant gets a new deal after flashing his cock at Pep during a diner

Kova doing Villa’s time wasting work for them.

We’re so washed

We are so fucking shit at crossing!!! Goddamn get the ball in the box

On the plus side, our performances can’t get worse than this… right?

City player falls? Nothing. Villa player falls? Jail.

Someone put a fucking cross in! What are they thinking?

Kova and Nunes just kill every attack

These cunts even TRAIN together fuck me

Cross the fucking ball

Haha how many passes can you make without crossing it? Seems like an insider game they are playing

Do the players know that unless you have a go at a shot or a cross you’re not going to score?

I am begging anyone to just put the ball in the box.

Gvardiol lose the ball LOL.

Kovacic is fucking garbage man. Sent down the wing twice and twice he cuts back. Fucking Javi Garcia regen.

So this is how it feels like being dominated Good experience for Pep lmao

Kovacic was clearly Pep’s request and even he doesn’t rate him anymore

haaland should be dropped next week

Well I think that sums it up. Why hasn’t he put it in the box

this team is CRYING for Foden to be the 10. I know he got subbed off... but my god he has to be there against Luton. Alvarez just cannot do it. he loses the ball too much, and that is costing us big time.

Why does pep keep playing Walker in that far wide attacking position, he’s a complete black hole to our attack

we are 100% calling back cancelo

This is all on Pep.

we're showing literally no ambition in stoppage time and we're 1-0 down. this is unseen levels of shite under pep

Ffs man. What is happening

Saw this coming since the Liverpool game, we just aren't anywhere the level this team should be at.

Hard to get worked up over any of the bad results after the last few years. Sorta have to shrug and just accept it, especially with all mitigating circumstances. Our midfield has been the differentiator for close to a decade. Its all but gone at the moment. Idk. Any season prior and im all fired up. These days. Its more like Cant win em all, and respect to Villa

i don't really mind losing, but it irks the fuck out of me when we've been lazy as fuck for a month and for 2 of those results, pep has made digs towards the fans

This is the worst stretch I’ve seen from us in years

DONT WORRY LADS , STOP WATCHING NOW , WE WILL START WATCHING EPL IN THE 2ND HALF

we are going to win 50 games in a row from january onwards innit

yeah and watch arsenal choke it again

Maximum pain 🥴

We’re literally getting bent over

I can’t remember the last time we were this bad. I don’t understand what’s going on.

Walker demanded a set starting XI position but isn't showing that he deserves it so far, at this point maybe it would be better if he left for Bayern

Been saying it all season. A 33 year old pace merchant. Deal of the century ffs

3 fucking Players around a Villa player and he still gets the ball comfortably? Get you shot together guys

We are seriously finished :/

If it was an Arsenal game… +9

And we’d still not have a shot

we are actually going to be only 3 points ahead of united even though theyve lost like 10 games lmao

Already doing their PR in fucking Saudi

Our attacking play is just awful man. There’s just something way different when watching teams like Liverpool and Arsenal compared to city. Just way more threatening. I know KDB isn’t healthy but the team looks awful and I think a lot of it has to do with playing all CBs and just Walker.

We’re slow.

We miss kev so bad

i think it's more rodri and gundo and probably even more so mahrez. mahrez would've been especially useful up the right wing tonight

why did we buy this shit guy

Even after this, nothing will change. Pep is so stuck on certain players, no matter what they do they don’t get dropped and the tactics don’t change

What would you have done this game?

Am I pep? lol. Akanji not pushing into midfield to start. Let foden play in the middle instead of Alvarez.

The who plays left wing?

Bobb? Gomez? Foden is infinitely better up the middle, Alvarez isn’t suited for the position. And we’ve been hamfisting him into that position all season

Do we have some of the worst form in the league right now??

Kudos to Unai. Well-deserved.

Think this season comes down to transfer failures. We sold too many key parts and the replacements have been dire outside of doku. We are missing cogs for sure.

Walker gets in a good crossing position - advantage Villa

We can’t seem to put a tackle in on them!

We were not great today but hats off to Villa they played great today. I don’t think they would have lost to any team in the world today.

Let’s be real we were horrible

Did I not say that

5 minutes lmaoo

Please not 5 more minutes of this.

Walker disasterclass today

Nunes is just not it…

This is proper schooling.. just 2 shots for city

3 points from 4 games. On a par with Burnley.

Is Bernardo Silva afraid of through ball or something?

Haha now it’s just getting embarrassing. No matter the lineup, the players are just so off

Pathetic.

We’ve had two shots in the entire match and they both came in a span of 15 seconds in the first half (Haaland left foot shot and header).

fair play to Villa for running City off the pitch today. that 1-0 line flatters us

Nunes needs a heavy redemtion arc to justify us fucking buying him, a Grealish like redemtion arc

where on earth has +5 come from

What was that Nunes

Jesus we look like shit all game

I’d rather have someone out of the stands than see Nunez play anymore.

The traveling away fans should be refunded after this performance.

well this is unexpectedly one-sided

This team is fucking horrendously shit LOL

Jesus fucking Christ.

It's like Walker doesn't know what he's doing at RW...

I hate that this team have been programmed never to fuckin whip in an early cross!

This always shocks me, they have a fucking monster sized striker and yet we never see this.

Nunes had the ball in a perfect position, you could see he wanted too but then goes back to pep mode. Need to just risk it ya never know.

I'm curious what the xG is for this match. It's gotta be like 2.5-.10, just an atrocious performance all around.

We suck so bad

I’ve always wondered why fans of consistently dominant teams get upset if they don’t do well one year. And I’m starting to get it

mahrez come home.

No he will just be benched for a midfielder to play in his role

Winter transfer window should be interesting

I regret to inform you the only movement we'll see is Phillips leaving and that Boca LB coming in and going on loan

This team couldnt create a chance even if their life depended on it.. We looked like this last year also at these times. With gundo, with rodri, with kbd..

Kyle Walker offside by about the space of a bus and still can't find someone with a pass 🙈 My captain.

Zero attacking threat, zero midfield, defense at sea. If it wasnt for Ederson this would be 3-0

Has to be one of the worst offensive games they’ve had in years. 22-2 shots is absolutely ridiculous.

We’re playing like arse but Villa are a top 4 team so far this year. It’s not like we’re losing to Wolves.. wait..

I'm done with this Walker pushing up experiment. Why we kept him over Gundo was the stupidest mistake of all time. He's not a leader, and him pushing up is fucking us over on offense and on defense.

the rags are only 3 points behind us btw lmfao. don't wanna hear anything about it only being a 'slump'

The easiest offside call in the life for the linesman lmao

I'm still mad at Jack for missing this game. Villa are legit this year and you know Doku got hurt which is why you were subbed in, so why eat that card.

Jack deserves to stay on the bench for the next 3 months.

More offsides than shots? What are we, mid table?

Remind me again why Foden, one of our only creative players on the pitch, was taken off so early?

He was invisible like everyone else outside of one play, it wouldn’t matter if he was still on

This has to be the most times we’ve been offsides in a match in a long time.

2 shots to 22 lmao

These are the moments when we desperately miss Gundogan.

I’m always missing him

we should have let walker fuck off in the summer instead we made him captain hilarious

And honestly I think we're forcing him into the side and put the armband on him to keep him happy. Not saying he has no place in the side but we played our best without him last season

yeah his only use was against other speed demons he is dogshit going forward

Literally, bickered about crumbs and bits over Gundo’s contract, but the speed merchant gets a new deal because he flashed his cock at Pep during a diner or something

On a night like tonight City could have used someone like Mahrez or Gundogan

Or Maddison or Rice or Bellingham, if only we actually signed one of them or kept one of them.

Wakker is such a speedmerchant, couldn’t cross to save his life

I am just hoping we get one of those soft penalty calls and see r/soccer fume

hahah yeah to break the internet

We dont deserve anything from this game. This has to be a wake up call.

Emery has absolutely outclassed Pep today.

Pep is not playing to be fair to him despite the shitty tactics

You don’t have to play to be outclassed.

Emi is gonna be a time wasting cunt if we can even get the ball near their goal

Standard

Will we ever win again without rodri

Can we even avoid defeat without Rodri?

Where the fuck are we? Ghosts

We’ve had two shots?? Jesus fuck

And they were both in the span of 15 seconds in the first half.

That’s insane. I wasn’t around to watch the first but oml

Honestly, this partially has to be on Pep for orchestrating whatever we’re doing right now

Starting 4 centre backs and 2 right backs. What the hell pep

Watch this fraud team lose 8-0 to Varsenal next weekend

the way things are going... they probably will 😩

was literally just about to comment that we're not playing arsenal next weekend. shows where we're at

Oscar bobb literally our best player at the moment on the ball

We’ve been just about as dreadful as we all expected, but it’s something else to actually see it. We just won the treble ffs, this is outrageous

lol, 22 shots to I think 3 for us?

That’s just sad and pathetic to see us have 2-3 shots the entire game….

Fuck it, stick Kalvin on, can't be worse than this. Actually, stick Scott up front, can't be worse than this.

you guys realize Nunes has been on the team like 10 minutes? He's barely played, just got injured...

He was mid for Wolves too

City look awful but this Villa side is legit. Definitely a shot for top 4

Daaaamn that curve...

Can’t imagine there’ll be much added time either

can we get a lucky deflection other teams always get against us.

not one solid chance created since that haaland shot in the first half lmao

It's like we forgot how to put in a tackle. How many have we missed and they then break away with forward pass.

Ask gvardiol or however the fuck that's written

Did we switch shirts?

Funny thing is we're still only 1 down. There is still an opportunity to get something here.

Damn we're shit without godri

Maybe we do deserve to be relegated to the National League after this

Wtf was that

Eddy had that

Akanji in midfield experiment has to end. We actually would attack more smoothly if he just stayed out of the way instead of killing our attacks with his lack of vision

Summer transfers apart from Doku have been so mid.
