I hear you

Yea I didn't mean you guys, the fans, had crazy high expectations. Just the general sentiment in the footy world seemed to be that Pep would run rampant and "revolutionize" the league and that narrative was in full swing after the first month of the season laugh.gif

It was NEVER gonna be that easy. I definitely know things can't change totally after 2 transfer windows laugh.gif

Think this result is gonna be good for Pep and Citeh long term, it exposed their flaws out in the open and humbled them. They'll only get better after imo

Yeah I agree with you, I think a lot of fans had high expectations but I definitely wouldnt say I/the majority of us were expecting a CL title. Making the semis last year makes this look a lot worse than it already is as well.

I personally was expecting a bit more in the Prem, although Chelseas run has been incredible we've missed out on a good amount of points to really keep the pressure on them.

And while I felt the Monaco draw was favorable, I knew what they were doing and how excellent they were putting the ball in the back of the net. Of course as a fan I'm going to be optimistic, but looking back on it I shouldve seen this coming with how **** our back line is and how great their attacking was. It especially hurts because we were ~12 minutes away from advancing and then gave up that goal, a great ball played in and finish, but damn that **** hurt. never been a fan of playing that high of a line in that position.

this is make or break time for city... tough loss to monaco and now have the hardest stretch of their season.
doesn't look good tbh

Agreed with that first part for sure

kdb still young though... should be going at aguero and silvas neck more than anyone

Im cool with going at Kun for the trash performance today, but definitely not Silva

 

[eiddyfouw]

You know DAMN WELL that'll never happen.

it will... when yall get in to the top 4 i'll leave yall trash squad alone. 
until then yall still suck and even arsenal is still better than you. 

I'll never understand why you care about United and Arsenals position when you follow a team in a different league.

But okay. Cool bro.

I personally took it as a step back. It was 6-6 and they won due to away goals, but we're better than that. We let a Falcao who barely had a 2nd shot at his career destroy us the first leg and a bunch of young players beat us.

This is the same defense that held Real Madrid to a 1-0 loss in the Semi Finals last year and the goal we gave up was an own goal. There's no excuse for Pep, especially this late into the season. Like I said, shouldnt of played a 4141 IMO

Fair enough ..

What's going on with kdb.. my mans ain't been seen since November, sane stole his powers?

Unrelated,I just find it funny how you hear crickets when dudes like KDB or Coutinho go ghost or struggle but the minute Pogba slips up,it's front page stuff and you never hear the end of it

I know I know,"but but the fee" ,still doesn't change the point

I expected better from Silva today especially with the form he had been in no excuses for him. Aguero had two good chances he could have done better with in that second half he should have done better as well.

They'll bring up his price. But I can't see how that affects them when they can't afford Pogba in the first place.

of course it's the damn price.  

we all know pogba is more talented that's why he gets more slack when he doesn't play well.

im not sure if you are being serious or not.

we hold different players to different standards. this is not a surprise

Gorgeous...

I understand why young players flock to there

The only squad with more goals scored this season is Barca :x

They had more goals than them during most of the season until just recently

Someone needs to hire Jardim soon, dudes record in Europe with Monaco is impressive

you literally talk about United EVERY SINGLE DAY

Jose hasn't even built his squad yet. Maaaaaaaybe after that I might get worried.

NT Derby is Arsenal vs United.

Jape, you really do suck with the bantz.. like awful man

I expected better from Silva today especially with the form he had been in no excuses for him. Aguero had two good chances he could have done better with in that second half he should have done better as well.

Silva was dropping some dimes though. Kun was really bad today and I have been at his defense with my footy buddies who say he needs to go. Those two chances he had have to be put in the back of the net on the road, in CL play, away from home and the team needing at least one goal especially with how early Monaco scored

Please dont put KDB in the same sentence as Coutinho and Ozil as they ghost. Pogba shouldnt even be mentioned either as he did a disappearing act on Chelsea just the other day.

if we put all of their performances this season in to perspective

it would be KDB > Pogba > ozil > coutinho

So his poor performance after being a MF down and playing out of position is gonna define him now huh?

My point exactly...

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Looks like Napoli is moving to Umbro next season, maybe finally fix that Lete sponsorship

Indeed, Jardim is only 42. His future is gonna be bright
