We will certainly have to play better next weekend that's for sure.
But need to bounce back on Tuesday night first

I think he has attributes. Speed, power, good defensive heading ability. What he lacks is a decent brain ie decision making and he is clumsy. Whilst the former can give you a good career the latter will hold you back from being an outstanding player. I think he will be ok, but Real wont be coming in for him anytime soon.

Poor all around & deserved to lose comfortably - ref still had a poor game though.

I think you're a bit harsh. He's playing the very, very best here. Can't expect him to play like a seasoned pro, in my opinion. He's played so many excellent matches for us. Looked shaky today, I agree, but he's a great player in the making. Has had an excellent season, bar a few mistakes. To be expected!

City have been beaten by UTD and Liverpool this year, but we cannot match the solidity of UTD nor do we have the sheer attacking threat that Liverpool possess.
All in all, Poch needs to go back to the drawing board to find a way to freshen us up. We've been great at times this season, but we've also struggled domestically. City and Liverpool have both looked great in 433's this year. I think we could do the same.

We should have gone balls out and attacked from the off or sat behind the ball and killed the game.
We did neither.
Complete fudge up by all.
So so poor. We started the game scared of them. We should have been in their faces. Just wondering why poch didn't Tell the players to go at them especially as they were more vulrable.
Tonight also shows u need Toby playing. Sanchez was terrible. U need the top players against the big team.
We need to start looking at replacing lloris. He should have been pushing that away from the goal.

City were always going to come out determined and focused.
Against most sides our 4 man defense is fine. Against the likes of City, Juve etc we lack a little something in defence. If we can keep Toby we need to, he adds a little more quality and we could play 3 at the back. Sanchez made a number of last ditch tackles, but they had so many chances to score, could have been 5-6 down.
Annoyed again with Poch not being on his toes with subs. At 60 Pep had made subs and the game was swinging in their favour. Moura was the right sub to make but was 5-10 mins late, and we were 1-3 down by the time he came on. Moura was excellent and you have to ask why is Lamela in before him? Moura has the technical ability and quality that most city players possess. Others in our squad do too, but today city were the better side.

I think that’s a fair enough summary. Hopefully, playing next to Jan will help his decision making. Some fans are very naive about Poch’s ability to replace top players with pure potential and keep competing at the top level.
If we finish above Liverpool still think the same they have also struggled in games.
Last game we lost was city... I would take them as our bogey team.

United for all their defensive Solidity probably should have been 4-0 down last week. They got a goal and City Crumbled and not to anything special either.
Liverpool have their number for sure, their sheer speed means city cannot play around at the back as easy.
I personally was hoping we might sit. Like we did to Liverpool at home. Play more on the counter ( like Liverpool did at the Etihad ) even though we was at home. I dont rate their backline but you have to find ways
to put it under pressure.
We was going to lose a game soon. So I hope this is the last for the rest of the season. Beat United and we can concentrate on the league.
Player wise.
Poor: Tripps, Dier, Lloris, Kane, Lamela
Ok: Sanchez, Davies, Alli, Dembele
Good: Eriksen,
Excellent: Vertonghen
Also I thought Moura did more on the pitch in his short appearance than Lamela did all game. Please give him a start at Brighton.

Is it arrogance from Poch? Again we’ve come away from a game annoyed at our ineffectiveness but also feeling like they could easily have scored more. We’ve clearly got the tools to win games like this but so rarely happens.
Let’s keep some perspective. City are far and away the best team in the league. And we have beaten Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and United this season. Not to mention Madrid and Dortmund.
