It’s an absolute disgrace that, after taking City to the wire last season, we didn’t do what was needed in the summer. Yes, we’ve had bad luck & terrible officiating etc but, despite that, we had a chance to give Liverpool something to think about today. That we didn’t is for the reason above. - ThreadSky

We had better players on the field today. They didn’t play better.

I don’t disagree with that, but there’s also a bigger picture here

Yep.

I’m all for the “siege mentality” stuff, but there’s a fine line between that and just feeling sorry for yourselves to the point that you end up with performances like that. I love what Arteta’s done to get us to where we are now, but… >

…. if the club aren’t prepared to do the business needed to step up to the next level, then we’ll end up back to where we were when he first came in.

Same lack of ambition which has plagued the club for 21 years. Obsessed with making money over trophies. People excusing January are much the same.

Agree, but the January window isn’t something that should be relied upon. It’s a difficult window. If you don’t do the business in the summer, you use January as an excuse because it’s a difficult window.

Yeah, but the Watkins deal was a no-brainer for me. Had we signed him in the summer everyone would’ve loved it as a statement of ambition.

Not saying Arteta’s completely blameless, he’s made mistakes. But, no way you can tell me that having got us this close, he can’t see what we need to do next. He hinted enough before January, it doesn’t take a genius to work out what that was about.

I don’t place any blame on him for our lack of attacking talent.

Vinai and Edu left and the board haven’t replaced them.

Utter shambles from the ownership team.

Fully agree 👍🏻

Yep. Completely agree 👍
