If you think drawing away at Ross County is bad

[John Findlay]

I'm just making my way back to my partner's in Stoke, after watching Man City be outplayed for large parts of their game against Southampton at the Etihad.

Ii know all things are relative, but I would humbly suggest Man City at home to Southampton will be the equivalent of us at home Livingston next week.

Now if we draw 0-0 next week then there will be some cause for complaint.

[Tynecastlesmychurch]

That’s fair. 
 

Safe travels buddy!

3 away games, no losses. That’s got to be some kind of record surely? Must be our best away Premiership run in some time. One for the stattos

Id accept a draw if we’d just thrashed RB Leipzig  in a Champions League Group game? 😀

No you wouldn't have, if you saw this City performance. £100M for Jack Grealish. Aston Villa are laughing all the way to the bank.

Haven’t seen it yet mate.  MOTD tonight. I admit I like watching Grealish. Still no idea why City signed him. He would have been better off staying at Villa although I get the desire to win stuff. He’s at that age.

Both teams were absolute honking defensively in that match it exposed a lot of how average  City are defensively that the better teams will exploit.

 

City take a while to get up to speed though and will no doubt go on a long unbeaten run again in the league but it will be much tougher this year with Chelsea and Liverpool and possibly Man Utd all in the hunt

Talks some shit as well does Pep.Going on about being an International manager or going to a South American club will no doubt go to PSG who seem to be totally immune to FFP rules.

Worst City game for years.

I think he’s the most frustrating player.. hugely gifted but just trying to earn fouls all the time . 
 

I agree though, City shouldn’t have signed him

Comparing us to any man city game is crackpot crazy.

I think he needs to lose a stone.  He’s not fat or unfit.  He’s just too solid.  A stone off he’d be quicker.

Just signed a new contract in the summer didn't he? He said something yesterday after his little spat with the fans about standing aside if they were unhappy with him but I highly doubt any City fan is. Wouldn't be surprised if on City Kickback there's a 'Pep oot' thread mind you.

Man City had one shot on target yesterday:

 

if people had followed Robbie’s advice from last season they would have been more entertained watching us than City.

 

Yet another thing he’s got wrong 🙄

[Spellczech]

Interesting that City had 40k fans when they were utter garbage and now they are really good they have about 45k! 

 

The glory-hunters just seem to prefer United & Liverpool for history and the Nouveaus favour Chelsea for glamour, leaving City out in the cold...

I find Pep teams absolutely shite to watch. 

 

I appreciate its technical etc. but his teams are so ****ing boring in my opinion. Would much rather watch a Klopp team or just anyone else. 

 

I think he's chucked it and is looking for an out. Falling out with the fans is a good way to do it too.

yeah I think he has a bit of a God-complex and once he decides he wants a new challenge he finds a way to go. 

 

I know it takes certain skills to operate successfully in the high-money end of the managerial game but I'm still not convinced that it is actually that hard to be a Mourinho or a Guardiola. Neither of them has ever had a club say "no" to them. It has now been a decade since Pep last won the CL and 11 years for Mourinho...Ancelotti is better than both of them

Came on against Scotland after the commentators bigging him up for at least 20 minutes first, and did absolutely nothing apart from fall over. Again and again and again. It would have been laughable if the ref hadn’t obligingly blown for a free kick every time he did it.

I'll be disappointed if we don't win.

Livi play Rangers during the week and that gives our coaching/analyst staff ample opportunity to assess their strengths and weaknesses.  Add to that the possibility of injuries and tiredness bearing in mind they've just come off a tough game today as well against Celtic and you've got to think we should prevail.
