Whatever we do, however we climb the league, however long it takes, opposition fans will always say we bought/cheated our way there no matter the circumstances. So who cares about taking the path of least resistance? Let's find every and any loophole we can to cause maximum drama and fume, couldn't care less at this point.

We should sack off FFP and just smash it in the Jan window.  City have already shown FFP is a joke - how many breaches? 200 odd and still no sanction.  Let's go for it.

Speaks really well as always but that's about a downbeat as I recall seeing him. Seems shattered and a bit gutted. Clearly really frustrated at the injuries as well. 

 

 

 

He knows with a full fit squad we would have won that.

Starts v Bournemouth 

Normally I would agree but the way things are going

Agree with that, unless we got money for a couple of signings in january(which I doubt).

 

Europe League is up to 9 more games, too many for the current squad. Already seeing signs of tiredness in a couple of games now. Its only going to get worse.

Exactly - we've had a great adventure this year (still a couple of games to go) but the team already looks spent.  We've no bench to rest players. Europa League would just break them.

It isn't over yet.  I have a sneaky feeling we'll beat PSG and Milan to grab 2nd.

Knockouts only start at the end of February, could have everyone back bar Tonali by then.

Fair enough - hopefully some reinforcements in Jan as well.

We are missing basically half our squad.  So all things considered I thought we gave it a decent go.

1 and 2 Champs knockout stages

3 Europa League

4 Gans home

If we don't qualify for CL - I want us to gan home.  Our squad is just battered - we need what we have left to focus on the league.

We can be here all fucking night, it was never going in. 

Carbon copy of the Dortmund at home.  Set up for a grand finale by beating PSG and Milan.

Yeah, 3rd into the Europa League. 

So still a chance if we beat PSG and Milan.

Is it top two teams who qualify?

Absolutely desperately need Botman back. The defence is completely different without him 

..and the rest.  Team look shattered.

Fourth place gets Europa?

Do people want Europa? We've not the squad - If we go out CL I would rather that be it in Europe for this season and concentrate our efforts to get CL again next season.

We win this with our full strength squad.  Just wasn't to be.

That was the chance. Not going to get too many more better than that. Awful miss

I think we'll get 1 more

Just not dropping

Every break is nipped in the bud early with a little foul, they know exactly what they're doing and are used to playing under European refs. They're getting away with it too, it's infuriating but there's no deterrent from the ref so why wouldn't they? 

more like they have the ref in their pocket so can do what they like 

this ref is a joke - corrupt 

we're not out of this yet

Just now, Shearergol said:

Wtf was lascelles doing there though?

In a word....nothing

poor defending - scrappy goal
