Totally. I bet that the Leverkusen manager gave a heck of pregame talk after the starting XI was announced. Credit for them wanting it more.

I don’t understand why Gigio needed to be bench tonight unless there was a fitness issue.

I meant that Newcastle beat City but then went on to lose to teams. It's like a pattern after playing City.

You're back. I'm glad that you are safe. I was thinking about you the other day. I wish City would perform a lot better today.

As this wasn't bad enough, Newcastle lost tonight.

Pep says that this was a final tonight and this is what he put out. Just madness.

Get me Wharton from Crystal Palace. Do whatever it takes, Viana. Maybe McTominay too, just for laughs.

It was like watching last season horror show.

Agreed. It was 2 hours of nothingness attack and side passing. I would be fuming if I paid money for that.

Jeez. Embarrassing performance tonight. Zero desire from the team. The tactics from the start were all wrong. Need a response vs Leeds this weekend.

Full credit to Leverkusen for being organized and drilled. So clinical too. This is probably the easiest game for them this season.

Oh yeah, that's right. I don't understand why there are so many changes tonight.

The only positive that Thanksgiving is in 2 days and I don't have to watch City.

Truly awful from City tonight.

Predictable and slow.

This is Leverkusen who conceded for fun (I know it was a different manager) and lost 5-1 vs a youth Flemengo in preseason.

I don't understand why Gigio and Erling were benched tonight. They only have some kind of sheer mentality right now.

Heck get a former All Black rugby player or Fernandinho to come in and talk to the team or something.

Viana needs to go to Brazil right now and offer him a staffing contract. This is a dire watch.

The only hope is that Real Madrid had some kind of self destruction and rebelled against Xabi. Otherwise it's going to be a struggle to get a point

Of course, At least he tells them to be physical. Plus he brings mentality to the squad.

This is the same Leverkusen that conceded 7 to PSG a couple weeks ago.

They are literally training right now. Where is the midfield City?

He needs to be benched from now on. He needs to move on from the failed Spurs move.

Get Fernandinho on the staff ASAP now that he retired.

Come on, City gets some urgency going. You are down 2 nothing and you are doing dawdle like preseason.

Why Savio is still on the pitch, Pep?

This is why Gigio is number 1.

The only positive that Thanksgiving is in 2 days for me.

Savio misses a sitter. Come on now.

Pathetic City. 0-2. Terrible defending and tactical changes. Now it's a must win away at Real Madrid.

Get Erling and Cherki on now

Changes at halftime. Much needed.

Semenyo is badly needed in Jan, Viana.

Gosh, Flekken. He is always worldie vs City.

I saw you attack and attack during the international break.

Please do that for City.

Agreed. Keep him and Doku nice and warm in Manchester. Also, I wouldn't put Erling anywhere in the squad. He can come out and wave to his fellow countrymen.

Tijjani needs to be Tijjani from the Netherlands.
