The team is not complete and City's is and that was a difference. People compare what Jose and Pep spent whilst forgetting Pep inherited a far better set of players than Jose, including the likes of Aguero and De Bruyne.

Yesterday we played in a way that people didn't like. However, it was pragmatic, based on what we have. We are not the finished article, yet. I recall being 3 nil down to Arsenal under Louis and the players looking shell shocked, now they compete. Add key players, key top players and it will improve

However, I maintain the point that we haven't planned well for years and City have. Now is the time we should all watch what our owners and what Woodward does. Buying players, supporting the manager is only one thing. What are they doing about the stadium, the youth, their aims on putting the club back at the top, they need to communicate to us and about far more than the latest bootlace sponsor. Sadly I suspect more of the same from the owners. They, however, are the ones we should be putting under pressure to see improvement.

Redman funny of you to mention lvg, I also remember a few lvg matches like 4-2 vs city or beating Liverpool at Anfield, don't see Mourinho even attempting that, must be Woodward, Glazer and of course Saf's fault.

Do we also blame them for changing a formation that was working well, or do we them for the genius decision to bench our only cb who actually knows how to pass while asking the cb's to play long balls or let's blame them for playing a donkey who has aerial strength of a little girl and hold up skills of a little rabbit and has been rubbish against all big teams.

Is seem to recall a goal drought under LVG and some of the dullest football akin to Sextons era. Seems like rose tinted glasses have now moved on to LvG. To help eyesight the City and Liverpool teams are also somewhat better than they were at the time of lvg.

We won two trophies last season and are sat in second. It’s about time some realised we have no Devine right to be the best, it needs a plan, a great team with a top manager. It is tough to go from 6th to 1st but we are on a path that has seen improvements, we have world class fans but unfortunately some are world class moaners, I guess it’s the social media era. Jose had my support but I do see problems with the owners.

Did i say the football was wonderful or anything such, you talked about being 3-0 down at arsenal and not competing i just showed how we actually competed and not only competed but attacked and won against big teams especially away unlike Mourinho.

World Class moaners more like Pot Kettle Black, i remember you and kloot posting during fergie's time and then under both moyes and lvg, it was all doom and gloom and criticism be it of manager, team, owners. Now you post valid criticism of manager you get called moaners, how times change.

World class moaners wasn’t aimed at you actually

I posted on here during SAF time, from about 2010 I recall, particularly about the transition and learning from Busby, did I get that wrong? I posted about the debt and we are still lumbered by it. I was very against Moyes from the start that I will say. With LvG you can’t have it both ways, I take stick for defending him as manager for about 18 months because whilst he wasn’t my choice he had experience to give him time. I said he should have been the springboard to bring in Pep, we missed that trick.
Criticism is fine but the stuff I read on live chat is beyond that.
