 Yes, yes, people walk about to another stream and we're back with none other than Mr. Mancuny and himself, Martin. Yes. Yes. How do you make? Yeah, the Mancwap TMW. Yeah, TMT. Yeah, TMT. And big on to everybody who haven't already do the favor. Hit the like button, subscribe channel if you are new. We're back with another stream. Obviously, we had the Mousial and News before, but thought we'd just go into a bit of city talk. Good to get your opinion on last night, Martin, and stuff. So I guess we'll start with that, the depressing side of it. What are your thoughts? Well, it's the rhetoric to say we're a bag of crap. All our plays are no good. Sack, perps, sack the board. I don't know. And that's not, I'm not having to go and sit your hands. I'm having to go and just, there are idiots online that were just so overreactionary, some real. No, listen, again, it was, we couldn't finish our dinner. It was the same story we've had all season. People, listen, yeah, we have publicly conceded more than what we'd won. But to me, our biggest issue this year is, is having all these chances and not putting them away? Yeah, facts. Same again last night. You can't have all these chances and not put them away. These are the games where you've got to put the chances away. I mean, the, the Kevin O'Brien chance to make it 2-1 in normal time, that was killer. That was killer. And it's, when you get the obviously the Phil Fordham one. I mean, we had, I think the record amount of shots on goal or near, near, near a record amount. I think the other one was a little bit. Yeah, that goalie was outstanding last night and it was just one of them. Overall, apart from the first 15 minutes where I thought we looked a little bit nervous, a little bit. Oh, for the first time in a while, I thought we were phenomenal. Yeah, I'd say I was great. Yeah, that's why Pep's walked away with it. And Pep is like he's happy. He's happy with the way that we performed. And I think the thing is with the first half, you could see both teams were a bit not wanting to make that first move. They both kind of respect each other. Yeah, they're both nervous. Didn't really want to do something to hurt himself or make any mistakes. But obviously they ended up getting the first goal. And I think that kind of once it woke us up as what I would have thought, I think the second half we really dominated. That's where we really came into like a match. Oh, why? Because what did he do? Which he should have done from the get go. Because it doesn't work any other time. He swapped Bernardo and folding over. Yeah. We were screaming in the stadium. In the first five minutes, folding you could tell was not going to be in that game. You could tell I don't I was just isolated out wide. The ball wasn't going anywhere near him. I don't like Bernardo in the middle. I've not liked Bernardo in the middle all season when he's the things with Bernardo in the middle. Bernardo doesn't create too much. So he never has. Yeah, he's never done that for city. That's never seen a man. Yeah, that's that. Yeah. That's the thing that that's why like when we put such a high price tag on Bernardo silver, we know as fans as city fans like what he offers to and what he would offer to any team. But if you just look at him stats wise, he doesn't have the goals and assists to warrant the high price tags. He's never done this myth of Bernardo silver's this creator baffles man and has always baffled me. He's his work rate is running off the ball and he's never say diatitude is what makes him so popular and everything that he brings. But Bernardo silver in the middle is just absolutely wasted. As soon as he swapped it, it was better. But it's like, no, don't get me wrong. A lot of rivals have come out with a lot of garbage because I've never seen the beginning of stuff seeing our rivals today. You know that you know, has done another city in crisis video. Jesus, but we're in a crisis. I'm sorry, but being top of the league in a semi-final in FA Cup, that's a crisis. Then what's football gone to now? Coming from the United fan, sorry, forest fan who are near the bottom getting relegated should not be talking about crisis. You shouldn't know. No, not at all. It's focused on his own crisis can't go to all traffic because the amount of people who are probably doing it. Yeah, yeah. You know, have a look. You don't make your own fan base car stand. You never mind anyone else's. But you sit there and let everyone make money off it. Well done. Yeah, that's why I don't get these idiots who watch him because he plays everyone. Yeah, everyone falls into that little trap with it. He knows exactly what he's doing. That's why he makes his man city in crisis video is probably one of the best earners. Some of his best earners. He doesn't think he's set you in a crisis. That's all. He just puts it out there and then he's stringing everyone along for a ride. He knows exactly what he's doing. I mean, get a crisis in his clubs in 7th or 17th. I don't know which one. Yeah, we don't know which one. He's got a 7 behind it. There's a 7. Yeah, there's definitely a 7 in there. The thing is, I was proud. The biggest issue we had last night is people talked about Harlan. Now Harlan for me did a lot more running off the ball than he's done in a while. He was coming back into the midfield and trying to win the ball. The biggest issue with Harlan last night is no boogers giving him the damn ball. Yeah, we don't play. We've stopped playing to his attributes, which is really winding me up because Folder and KDB are the guys who are meant to be on the edge fixing in the ball. Last night I had Acanja, Gabbardio and Rodre on the edge of the box. They're not going to slip balls and come in for Erlin Harland. Real Madrid are going to sit there and go Acanja, Stones, whoever it could Stones and did it when he come on if you know he sees on the edge. Yeah, he's straight away went in. They're going to let you have that ball all day. They'll let you sit there for 10 minutes and nick around with the ball on the edge of the box because they're not scared of you. Yeah, they'll back himself against those players. Yeah, you won't care. If you put them on the ball, they're going to make that team worry. So the trouble is I'm going to do a video on it in the next couple of weeks because I think we've got to be careful on what we're doing with Harlan because at some point I don't know whether it's a Pep issue, a Harlan issue. I don't know anymore. I do think we don't play to restraints a little bit. One time we did play to restraints. He wasn't on the pitch. They asked a middle game at home where we were stomping crosses in left, right and centre and the guys on the pitch. I know it's more of an a Pep issue because where did Alvarez go last night when he came on? Did anyone notice where he went? Left wing. Yeah, he was holding duck who's under Mike. You're the nine getting the damn box, man. Yeah, as soon as he came on, I said straight away, I was like, this ain't this ain't striker up top. This is false nine. Yeah, we went to false nine. Went to false nine, even though Julian Alvarez is a striker. Because I'm stood there and it was just about five minutes interaction time. Boku's on the left. He was outstanding when he come on. Yeah, very good. Very good. I don't believe in this crap, really, she was outstanding last night as well. And I'll explain why I think that in a minute. Doku's got the ball. And I'm like, right, he's going to put the ball in. And he's looking for options, looking for options, looking for options. And Alvarez just stood next to him. Mike, you're the option he wants in the box. Yeah. What's he doing? He's looking for you. Why are you stood next to him? That was and we all sat there and we all went, why is Alvarez there? It was a weird thing as well, because the balls were getting put into the box. And then you look at it going, Howlander been there. Howlander been there. We only start doing that when Howlander's off the pitch. Our defenders and our CDM have suddenly come our creators. But where's that come from now? Why is that? I think I get that they're sitting the whole team back, but that doesn't mean just folding and debroining that just in the midst of their players. If they need to set off a little bit to create, then they should be doing that. It shouldn't be a kanji. We're relying on to create our chances to put these balls in. And the other thing was we scored two absolute purlers from the edge of the box last week. And then yesterday we went back to being scared about going to shot outside the box. Yeah. It's because the thing is we were, listen, I tweeted out last night, I was so proud of the logs last night. And by the way, someone's come out with a video. I think it's other people that there was no atmosphere in the stadium. Go and give your head a wobble. There was an atmosphere. That atmosphere was rocking last night. So anyone who's saying there was an atmosphere was not in the ground. Yeah, just chatting. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because some Real Madrid fans done a thing on TikTok that's gone viral about where a plastic club and it was silent. Well, where were you? You were in the Ayad. Yeah. Yeah, you were doing it. Yeah, I was rocking. We did our job. Eighteen, nine, four great did their job. Everyone did their job. The players did their job. We just for some reason this season, we're lacking that little bit of cutting edge. And I don't, what we're missing is probably a piqueta. And it is going. We didn't get the damn guy in the summer. We're missing them so and you're like, it could all change again next season. And that's why I'm more relaxed with it. I think we need to come with Hal and a bit because by the way, I did get told last week he was still carrying this foot injury. Oh yeah, the foot injury. He's carrying the injury. It's like he went over to Pep at the Looting Game and said I need to come off. Yeah, well, he said last night as well that he needs to go off. Kevin de Bruyne was stretching his leg out four times last night. Yeah, so it was Kevin, Jean, Harlan, Bull, all went to Pep and said when he's gone. They were absolutely finished. Harlan was in, you could see the anguish on his pain and he's like people said, the guy gets his foot stepped on my front and centre. Yeah, yeah. And I do, I got to his playing with painkillin injections as well at the minute. So he's not 100%. It's no excuse. But should he be playing? Probably not. But you know, John Stones is playing with painkillin injections. Yeah. Well, he's carrying on. We're just some things we don't know. But I mean, personally, I think someone will come out with Harlan in the summer, whether it's Pep or Harlan, they'll say we need to change things up. I don't mean leave for anyone. It's the panic button. I do think we'll get back to playing at his strengths next season. Yeah, I think like you mentioned, obviously, we get that we've had a lot of Kevin De Bruyne out of the team. But I just think someone like a paqueta to unlock these defensive when they're playing these low blocks, I think would it adds something else to it. Like because we're playing with, like you say, Bernardo Silver in that midfield. He doesn't really create much. He doesn't get the the GNA that paqueta would be in there getting assists. And obviously, Phil Ford has been doing bits in that midfield as well. But I just think we need to we do need to get back to playing to Harlan's strengths. I'm worried about this. Why we're not full sending this Kevin De Bruyne forward and in the middle. To me, it's a very simple thing. You drop Kevin back five, 10 yards, let him become the quarterback, get still the 10 roll. And because I mean, people like today must see all of us, you're going to have the same problem next year. You're not going to get a fill into the 10 roll by must see our averse. Yeah, this is what when I was in that show before. Yeah, I was trying to say like if we're going to go for a must see our averse, then you're going to get stuck again with Ford and just being pushed out. We're not going to go drop 100 million pound on another midfielder. Then Phil Ford and suddenly just become suddenly becomes a camp. He's going to stick out wide. And then we're stuck in the exact same thing that we're going through this year where we're all saying we want Harlan did we want Ford and in that midfield. I just think we've got to be a little bit, I get it, it's a new tie and but I don't want to put it because I've got to be careful now because I get called happy clapper. So I need to really honestly I've got three stars because I'm here at the minute on X that I just follow me around everywhere calling me names. Fun times because I'm positive. I was getting called happy coffee yesterday because we're all a bit disappointed and I get it but double treble is something like that. It should, I don't think it should be normal but to me it's not normal but so some people are holding us that like rival fans are celebrating the fact that we can't get a back-to-back treble. Back-to-back treble shouldn't be a thing. That shouldn't be a thing. It's so difficult to even get a treble. I think it takes a piss if we get a back-to-back so I think. I understand I get the standards and I am 100% that you don't drop standards. Yeah. I can't say a treble. The treble to me is not my standard. No, not at all. Because football's finished if we're saying trebles are standard now. If the treble is a standard and we should be winning that every year then we are then this is becoming a farmer's league because we shouldn't be. We should have never done a treble in their league. It just it shouldn't be a thing. It shouldn't be. I think it's too difficult to to go when a like even the treble last year was all saying oh it's only it's only possible because United made it happen once then we're like, yeah, we can do it. We can do it. The double treble. Has it 63-64 games last season? Yeah, something around that. We didn't finish till middle of June. Yeah. When everyone else had finished three weeks before. Yeah. We then went all of that for two weeks. Then was back for pre-season so they had two weeks off basically. They had two weeks off, came back, went into pre-season because we went to Japan and South Korea. Yeah. And then went straight into the community shield. So technically and then we've gone deep in nearly every comp again. So these lads are on well over 100 games in 12 months, in less than 12 months right now. Yeah, I mean. I'm wondering why injuries are a bit. Yeah, it's because it's. So do we need a bigger squad if we're going to do this? For me, I've got relent on this small squad bit and we rotate them. Yeah. He loves it. He loves a sort of small squad, but then the self-life can go with that if you want to stay in every single competition. Yeah. Or we end up in a Mahrez situation because I'm going to mention this tonight on mine is a lot of this on Mahrez is coming out. Mahrez did this, Mahrez did that. And I've looked at his stats from last season. The first 10 games in a season, he played 190 minutes. Yeah, yeah. And then you drop down, he played. Do you know where he's most of his performances came? The Mahrez, the FA Cup. That's pretty mad. I remember he was going to hat chicken and getting dropped. It was FA Cup job. Yeah. So because once we got out the group stage, he never played again in the Champions League apart from 11 minutes. By Munich on the bench. Yo, yeah, because Bernardo went that right wing spot in there. Bench, both legs. Final bench. I think he played 11 minutes against Madrid. That was the problem. That's why he went. It was not because it's very difficult to get this because, listen, I'd love a world. I'd love a squad like we had four years ago. Yeah. And we did the under points and we had this Sane Sterling and we were a rip roaring going. I'd love it. But it's not reality anymore because the feasibility. Yeah, feasibility of keeping everyone happy is just, it's just not there. There's too much talent, basically. You're basically overloaded with it. That's why I pep like a small squad. It's less, less headache, basically, like I say. There is less headache. He knows what he knows with the team that he's got. He knows he can keep everyone happy. But if you want to go and keep this as the standard of where we want to be getting into these latter stages of every single competition in the season, then the squad depth needs to be on point. Needs to be deeper. I don't think we're going to carry on with this trend of 60 odd games a season. It does need to be deeper. Or we are going to have to relent a little bit and buy and go back to taking off the chance and buying a quality player. You know, when we used to have two for every position and pep scrapped that, because there was a time when that rhetoric of you got two eleven, was true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not true anymore. It hasn't been true. No, no. People say we can have a start in eleven, then, that we were dressed. They'd still finish top four. People used to say that about us, because that's how good struggling to get eleven out after yesterday. I don't mean struggle as an injuries, but as in we haven't got any level, we can't rest all that eleven from yesterday and bring going to fresh eleven for Saturday and be competitive. We can't do that. Can't do that. Can't do that. Rodry's going to play on Saturday. Roger will play in that CDM role. Folding or KDB has to play on Saturday, because that's where we're at now. We're at a stage where we can't rest everyone. We can rest probably five. Yeah, we'd make the game competitive. If we drop completely, it matters not whether going down there. Yeah, yeah. Because there's no point doing it. And then what you've got to think is Peppy's going to want the team or want to come back and we want to get through that tie on that, then on that, then just before we just go on to like the Chelsea thing. I just want to say my my one of my main like grabs about last night is just the fact that we wasn't beaten by a better team in the night. I mean, I said this before and that's like the only thing that hurts more than all of it is the fact that we went out on pens. It wasn't that Real Madrid with the better side and beat us because I had a whole man's up and be like, right, fairs. And I can still do that because any day penalty shoot out 50-50. But they weren't the better side. They weren't the better side. So I just think but then it all just goes down to finishing your chances. It all just goes down to finishing your chances. To me, I took it as a bit of a compliment in a way that the mighty Real Madrid had learned from last season. Last night and this season has made me realise is that we're being treated as trouble winners now. We're being treated the same way United were treated in the late 90s. Yeah, we're getting that respect. Yeah. Real Madrid would not have come last season at the Etihad and play that way. They played a lot more open but by the way, Carlo Ancelotti was set after the game. That wasn't the game plan. We were forced into that game plan with how good they were. So that's why I find it so hard to even... I always remember and he's not the best person of all this, but there was a manager years ago. I won't mention his name because he has been a naughty boy in the past but said, you know, I'll whip him for some things. I ain't going to whip him for that. Yeah. And you can't whip city players for that yesterday. They left everything on the pitch. Absolutely everything. We left everything in the stand and unfortunately, the only thing I've got to say we've got to figure out how to get around this low block. Yeah. But this is not the time now. We have to get our team and go with it now for the next seven, eight games and we figure it out in the summer. We signed into whatever. We don't have the... We're not blessed with the time to fix these things. We haven't got the time anymore to sit there trying to figure out the block. There's no experiments that needs to be happening. You need to be playing your best team week and week out and go how helpful... We are still top. Right, team. We are in the semi-final of the FA Cup. Let's not... This could... You know, potentially, we could still walk away with four trophies this season. Which is still incredible. Incredible. I know a lot of people have forgotten about the Super Cup on the Club World Cup and they don't want to do it but we have that gold badge on our shirt for the reason. Yeah. Still four trophies in my mind. Yeah, definitely. Definitely. You can't just write off them trophies, like... But we could potentially win seven trophies in 12 months. Which is wild. So if anyone says to me, why are you not criticising as much? I find it hard to criticise when we're potentially winning seven trophies in 12 months. That's the bait in my brain and I'm sorry, I can't help being 42 years old and sat watching The Crap Are Dead watching this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get... Listen, if my 14-year-old son come up to me when Dad misses crap, I get it. I 100% get it at this point because he's... Yeah, because they've not seen... ...success and he's amazing. All it is for me is I am just from a different age and a different breed. You know, I've been saying all that. Could you imagine if Andy Cole... I ask the question, do you think Andy Cole are ruined by a mist or I'd work in today's football? Or even Alan Shearer? No, no. It's changed so much now. The game has changed. And that's always... That's always a good conversation to have as well, isn't it? Like, the older players howl they'd fare in nowadays football. Alan Shearer wasn't dropping into the midfield and winning balls and making... False nine out of that. False nine, Alan Shearer. Andy Cole wasn't going, give me the ball in the midfield. I lay it off, spin, suring them. No. Rude Van Nistor, I was a fox in the box, scored everything from three yards out. Yeah. Does it mean The Crap? No. But the other thing I think... People think I'm mad for this. We've also got some members, and this is awful, is Harlan was not number one choice. Yeah, no wrong. Harry Kane was our number one choice. If Daniel Levy had a pit phone up, Harry Kane would now be in a Manchester City shirt. Not Harlan. But we've got Harlan, so what we've got to do now is have the patience of allowing Harlan to get over his injury and developing. Because Pep will develop him. I just think... You can see Quince is a little already. I think there's none of criticism going on to Pep's tactics and too much going on to Harlan. Yeah, it's... People think it's solely down to him, even though when you look at a lot of the games... Yeah, both. There's absolutely no service. So, yeah, it is a bit above. We've seen chances where Harlan should score. We've seen him go through and you think, Harlan should be scoring that. But also, the other side of it is, we've also seen games where Harlan literally gets not a sniff. No one is putting anything in for him. He's getting no service at all. And... You know what I mean? Like you say, it works both sides. And when he's foot's knackered... Yeah, when he's foot's knackered, yeah. Because, remember, he had eight weeks off and, like I said, from what I'm told, he's still got an aggravation on that foot. Hopefully, we can get through the next six games with him. I don't think he'll play sat there. I think he will be Alvarez. I think he'll be giving the day off. Well, he'll be on the bench. Save the day off. I think he'll be on the day off. Sadder. The rivalry, what? I mean, I... I love rivalry to base, but sometimes I wish he'd keep his mouth shut. Sometimes he comes out with silly comments that I'm like, stop. You're making... Yeah, yeah, you're digging a hole here. We get you tired. We know you're tired. We'll sort it in the summer. We will sort it in the summer. We will get someone who can cover that six-roll. I mean, personally... See, I don't know who that's gonna be because I know, as you saw, Pavlidio's on the list now. Bruno, the marriage is on the list. Jamneviz is on the list. Somebody else. Douglas Louise has been on the list for years. Douglas Louise, yeah. They want silly money for him. Yeah, over 100 mil in it. 105 mil. I think all of them are nearly 100 mil. Yeah, they are. Because Kimmy's right. In fact, Paulini is the most affordable one. Around 40 to 50 mil. But how do you get Paulinio to come in when he's gonna want the big games? And that's the issue that you've got because they're all gonna look at Calvin Phillips' time at City and go, I ain't doing that. Do you want a versus tile player who can play? I want a Gundigan role who can play sex. I think that's why we were in... I think that's why we had good interest in Declan Rice and we're offering to pay quite a bit of money because we know that he can play a six, but I think we would use size him a little bit more further forward as well. I think it was... That's what I've been allowed. Yeah, allow the switch. So then you've got two players there, versus tile enough, and it would have fixed a lot of our problems. Yeah, and then there's several factors with Rice's. One of the... He went away because I was... He went away on international duty. He had a chat with Greenless, chat with Calvin Phillips. At the time, Calvin Phillips was the sticking point. Because Rice is like, ooh, how are you getting on at City, mate? Not very well, don't get in the team. Yeah, yeah. He's gonna put... You can't have the world's best CDM and then want to go and buy a backup CDM because they immediately know the backup. It's too hard to buy. It's much easier to go buying first-team players. It's the backups that it's hard to, because you can't go to these players and go, oh, yeah, you can't come in. You can't come in as... Yeah, the quality. You go, oh, do you want to come in and sit behind Rodry and you'll get in every so often? Not a chance, mate. And then... But then you can't have the drop-off to go get these younger players because the end of the day, the younger players want to be playing more football. I just think we're stuck at the moment. We're stuck. And that's what I think that... Like you say, get in someone who's a bit more versatile. So, I'd love a Moussiala. I'd love... I mean, Moussiala's still got technically three years after the deal. It's got two years plus an extension. A kicker, a kicker, all that in. So, buy Munich with no rush to actually extend and you don't know what's gonna happen when Nagel's been walked in. He might sit there and go, might re-sign up. Yeah, yeah. We don't know just because we've been linked and we're looking at him. Doesn't mean we're under percent getting him. Yeah. Obviously, you'll have links. Just because it comes out today, Moussiala. Obviously, like you say, just because we're interested in players, just because we're all breaking, that you're putting them at the top of their list. I doesn't mean we're gonna get them, that you're just interested in exploring that idea of signing up. What did you do the rest of the way last night? So, it was garbage. Yeah, the refereeing of it was... Ain't it? I do think... I mean, there was, again, from the off and I get it's quite early on, but I'm looking at some of the attackers and going, yeah, I can't. Yeah, I can't. Yeah, I can't. And then it's just... I just think... Well, Real Madrid has never lost that referee. So, I think... You can look into it. But... I thought it was weak. I think... For like, somehow, I'm Bellingham. Bellingham weak calls at one point. Yeah. Because when he went down on that wing, because I was literally five-thirds from the front, and then, you know what he's... We know when he went down on his face. Yeah, yeah. Remember that? And he was like, no-one was there. Well, I was like, why? Why was he come down? It was a... Did they do the little... And he got up and he went, give everyone a little wink. Like, we know what you're doing there, man. And listen, that's... Real Madrid learned from last season. So, I will give Madrid credit. They learned from last season. They played the dark arts. Perfectly yesterday. And they got away with it. Yeah, they got away with it. And that's where... I think that's where I think the referee lost his bottle of beer. He bought everything. Everything they were selling, he bought. Oh, yeah. He was sat there, credit card out. Three-year deal. Everything was coming out. Yeah, he was getting all that contactless. The man was cashed crypto, couldn't say every card, credit card. It was all coming out, selling his mortgage to him. Yeah, a bank was ringing him. I couldn't see any of his fraud. Apparently, by the way, that city fan was a Madrid fan. Because there was a lot of Madrid fans in the city. And yesterday... I've seen that. I've seen a lot of the Madrid fans in that end. And after the match as well, and enjoying the world going over, you could see them all coming to the front. I was thinking... Oh, the person who held the ball was not a city fan. Apparently they were a Madrid fan. Yeah, that makes sense. Playing games. Big word to Ben Lind. Yes, yes, mate. He's going back to the Haarland thing. He did say Haarland's a runner. He's not a hold up slash false nine. It's imperative that we play the ball around the centre backs for Haarland to run on to and one touch score. But then that's what Haarland is now. That's not what Pep wants. That's not Pep's... Like we're saying then, Pep's version of Haarland that he sees is Harry Kane. Pep looks at Haarland and goes, I will make you Harry Kane. That is basically... Did it with Aguero? Yeah, yeah. Did it with Aguero? Do you remember at the start of the Aguero thing, like you wanted Lewandowski straight away? That's right. I just... I do find that a little bit. I feel sorry for Haarland in a way. Yeah, I do. Because in a way, and I think as fans, we've got to be careful because every team in Europe are taking tomorrow. Do we want him out? Is this what we want? And we want a false nine? Or we want a... I don't know because... But I know if we carry on with this Haarland stuff, we might end up pushing him out the door. Yeah. And I know what to do with that. No, we can't scapegoat Haarland into him leaving. Like, because that's what will happen. He just carries on like this. He'll just end up leaving. That's why I think things do need to change. I get he scored a lot of goals this season still. But he'll know he could be scoring more. What do you think of Walker, by the way? Because I know he was at fault for the goal. He was at fault for the goal. I thought he recovered after that bill. Yeah, he recovered. He had... It was his fault for the goal. He looked shaky at the start. It was his fault for the goal. And then he did have a few wobbles after that. But then, I'd say like, from like half an hour in onwards, absolutely sound. Absolutely sound. I think there was that point that he said, where Vinny's running through. Kyle Walker, after Burners-On. Yeah, after Burners-On got in front of him. He made Vinny pull up. He gots to go off, Vinny. So, like, I mean, and that doesn't happen about Kyle Walker. If that's any other player in our team, Vinny's through. It's annoying because he was at fault for that goal. Yeah, that's the only thing that... Obviously, it's a massive goal as well. You're playing to the whistle. You don't play to the whistle. He's there pointing, even though he's the one who's playing him on. And then because he's messing about... And he wanted to push up and he stood there going. Yeah, he stood there like this. And then he misses the ball straight away to clear it. So then it's just like, he's had a nightmare. He's had a nightmare. Yeah, well, I thought his recovery was amazing after the game. Yeah. Like I said, there wasn't... Like I said, like, folding the banana, we're off. But I think there's reasons behind that. KDB, I just think, we've got to be careful with his hamstring playing 120 minutes. Harlan still injured, but Ranney's backside off. But again, Acangia, Gimadio, and Rodri are not the people who weren't putting the balls in. Yeah. For a little while now. Doku thought it was amazing when he come on, thought Jack Greenish. See, I thought Jack Greenish was a lot more direct yesterday. He was having shots. He was getting in, he was having shots. He was causing problems. We were all baffled in the stadium and Greenish's number came up. Yeah, to fair, I think as soon as... I knew it was Doku coming on. I was like, it's definitely going to be Greenish at goals. I've no problem with that. I thought Doku was amazing. But what I had done was put Doku right, left Greenish on the left, and something out of off. Yeah, and to fair, we've seen that and it's worked. So Doku can play on the right and he's been good there, so... Or even then swap and put Greenish on the right. I don't think Greenish deserves to go off, because I thought... I'm not sure, because he got a yellow card, didn't he, just before. So whether him and Kaba Hau... Oh, yeah, that's what it was. Yeah, that's what it was. That's what it was. Because I know he had a little bit of a kick out with Kaba Hau. Yeah, yeah, they were both, they were both... Right, all game. So that makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense. And obviously, that game's done. It is what it is. We're left with this situation. Are you worried about the team going into Chelsea? Obviously a massive FA Cup semi-final. I need to wait and see what... What injury? Why is... Yeah, what the pressure says. Are you worried in sense of... Maybe say they're fine to play. Are you worried in the sense of the mentality of the team? Or going into that game again? I mean, because obviously it's not nice to lose them kind of things. But... I think the team will be desperate to prove a point. Because I think there's a lot being said at the minute. It shouldn't be getting said. Yeah, I think they'll want to bounce back and basically steady this ship. It's a semi-final. It's a semi-final of an FA Cup. It's a massive game. Well, one went away from going into a final. Probably against United, but you never know. It's United. It's United. Well, mind an all-sky blue final. Chelsea are dangerous because I've said Chelsea have been quietly doing things under the radar. They're on quite a decent unbeaten run. They're stagged. They've got a fauna when they're down there. Col Palmer's on fire. Still got... You know, you've got Acke, it should come in. Stone should come in. Recall probably come in. Nunez, Covershitch and I know then everyone's favourite. Everyone wants them out the door. Well, it ain't going to happen. We're not just going to buy and then sell, get rid of two. Because this is the other thing. You're not going to buy three midfielders and then get rid of two midfielders or three midfielders. They just bounce back to square one again. Yeah, it doesn't work like that. They're not going to lease it by three. On the Covershitch penalty, obviously got saved. Keeping him exactly where he's going. I think Rudiger was pointing in the same direction as well. Obviously, ex Chelsea teammates. When he missed that pen, our chat was going crazy in that. He's a waste of money, a waste of money and everything. But then I was like, people are so quick to forget that two weeks ago, everyone was singing his praises. Everyone's saying, oh, quality signing, quality signing. Johnny, they didn't be Walker. Walker's been the biggest crop all season, but he was missed against Madrid. Well, some fans, and I say some, not all, are picking and choosing when they want players to be the best mate and not. These players do not care what fans are saying. Yes, they read the criticism and they feel a bit down, but they're not going to go and have a drink with you at the end of the night. They don't want to be your best mates. And I'm not your best mates. Yeah, yeah, they are going to play. Like they stick with Ronaldo Silva. We can't let Ronaldo go. Players get a say on whether they stay or they go. Yeah, some players want to be here, some players don't, and you've got to accept that. You know, the chances are that Ronaldo will probably leave in the summer. It's hurt, but we move on. We've lost company. We've lost Fernandinho. We've lost to Guardo. We've lost David Silva. We will go again. Because obviously there are times, like the whole company thing, you do have that moment of, how do we replace this guy? Do you know what I mean? But then it's football is a revolving door. Players come, players leave. That's just what happens. We replace them players with new players. It just, that's the way it goes. We will be more than fine. And as I said, we can't be that bad if we're potentially on a four-peat. Yeah, there's a... Against the world's greatest ever football team in Arsenal. Yeah, like, it's crazy to think that a four-peats even a possibility with the way that... I get that there is a time, there's a period, obviously, of sadness after going out, and that is absolutely fine. Do you know what I mean? You can, people can be retunary. You can not do all that. But then my whole thing today has been very much, especially in my head, is we don't have time to think about the fact that we've just got knocked out of a Champions League quarter-final because we've got a semi-final to look at. If anything, we're wasting our time. You've got a semi... Yeah, you have a little bit of sadness in that, but it's now time to just kick on and go forward. There's no point just dwelling on that. I don't know about it. I don't know why. I don't know whether it's the way we went out or what. I just... I'm not... I'm not down. I'm more proud than I am today, when that's probably a weird feeling to say and probably hear of. I don't feel down about yesterday. I think it'd hurt more if we were done over by dodging decisions. I think it'd hurt more if... As much as I said before, I'd accept it more. It'd hurt more if Real Madrid and turned up and just battled us because then you're looking at... When you got beat, I know. I'm... Yeah. Because then you're going, we just weren't good enough, even though we know how good city can be. That hurts more, but the fact that... Like I say, they beat us on penalties and they weren't the better side. That's... It just is what it is. You just got to accept it. Any day it's penalties. No. You've left it to go penalties. It is what it is. Penalties are a lot rare. And it was one thing I was fearful of. Now, I predicted 4-1. And maybe I was being a bit overambitious. But when you look at the chances, Real, it quite abysmal could have been 4-1. Could have been, yeah. And I wasn't saying 4-1 because I was being arrogant or cocky. It was a new would create chances against that last night. That's like you said before. It's the common theme of the season is... Not taking our chances. And it's what ultimately cost us then. And we've kind of just got to look at it and go... Like in some games, you might look at it and... Because put it this way, that Champions League knockout isn't going to suddenly fix our... Us missing chances. We're still going to miss chances from now to the end of the season. We've just got to hope that we're still winning these games. And I still back us to win these games. I back us all the way to win a 4-0 because I think Arsenal and Liverpool will drop more points. I think Arsenal are the ones that should be the most worried. I think because their fixtures from now to the end of the season are a lot worse than Arsenal and Liverpool's. And I can see them falling off. I actually think they will drop points. I think we'll drop points. But I don't think Liverpool and Arsenal are going to win all their games. So that's why I'm confident on it. I think we'll win it. I think we'll drop points. I just think they'll drop more. Both of them too. I still think there's turns in this table. You had people talking like six games. He's massive and there's loads. Six games is nothing. Yeah. It'll be over, boy. You know it nowadays. He's going to go on that. We're literally four weeks away from the end of the season. That's it. Crazy. It's crazy. It's been a facetious. You know, the thing that's probably and it will happen next week because we're technically going to be two games behind everyone by the time we come back up right. So that Brighton game does become a must win. But what we're going to make sure we don't do is get into the psychological thing of that if say Brighton go one up and then the low blockers is that psychologically we're going we're not going to score. Yeah. We're not going to score because I don't want them to start getting the flashbacks of Real Madrid and other games where we just try everything and everything and everything because that's when you start snatching because if you were to like cross-dressing to it that was a bit snatching last night. Was anyone like KDB to it like that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because look where it came came later in the game and he was like, Oh, right. I've got to win this. There's like an air of desperation about all. Yeah. And that's what you don't want to do. You go into these games with some form of desperation. We've got to be cool, calm, do our job. And if we stay calm and we stay together, I do think we'll win the league. I've said all season, I think we'll win too. I never thought the double treble was on. No, I wouldn't. Never thought the double treble was on. Yeah. And anyone goes, you're saying that because you're lost. I've said it for weeks. Said it on air. I've said it on mail. I've said it for weeks. We will win too. I just thought it might be the Champions League and the Premier League, but FA Cup still take that. A trophy is a trophy to me. I agree. I love the Carabao Cup. People don't rate it. I love it me. I was like an Arsenal man today and he went, I don't want the Carabao Cup. Oh, sorry. You're that picker. Yeah. You're too good for that now. One of them fans, you know, classes, fourth place better than a trophy. Right. Yeah. It's, you know, the Harry Kane mentality. Harry Kane mentality. When his grandson comes up to him and goes, Dad, can I see your medals? No, but you can see me fourth place. Come on, Google. Type in Premier League table. I finished fourth place. Well done, Dad. Yeah. Well, can you show me your medals? I ain't got any of them. Son, sorry. I didn't want them. I have to buy some off. And that's my biggest griping football today. We've become business and not fans. Yeah. The fan elements disappearing and we're becoming business men. Fourth place gets us this for the club. I don't care. Yeah. You want to win things? I want to lift a trophy. Go to Newcastle and tell them fourth place or an FA Cup. I know which one they'd snap your hand off for. With the FA Cup. Yeah. Buddy says, wait, son, let me get my Audi Cup out. That's what I mean. I'm going to get my Audi Cup out. Fourth place, what was it? He baffled some of it. I don't know. They made me accept. Maybe I'm too much of a dinosaur. I don't know. I agree. I agree. I think it's all about winning things. Any other day, you want to be lifting trophies. You want to see your team with trophies. That's the best part of it. That's why I don't take any competition for granted. Ever. Carabao Cup. I'm all for it. I'm good. We've not been in the Carabao Cup for another two years. I missed my February days out. Yeah, that's it. That little boost that you get for the team. You know what I mean? You get that little Wembley trip. I love the February trip out for me. Yeah. I mean, don't give me that list. I'd love to go at some point next season. I promise myself I'm going to do a European away again. Because I was going in real Madrid when everyone was out there but me. And I'm like, shit, they're all out there but me. And I was like, you know, there's times like that. And you're like, yeah, I want to be there and join in the Kraken. Yeah, yeah, definitely. So I will do one. But I just, nothing will beat me on a Wembley final. Lifting them trophies at the end. And if we can lift that Premier League and an FA Cup, wow, four trophies, seven, you know, seven trophies in 12 months. I just don't think, just because we're in treble last year, people shouldn't put a damper on doing a 4P and winning an FA Cup. That is an incredible achievement. Well, I want to know what everyone's expectations are for next season now. Every season, treble, treble, treble, treble, treble, treble, yeah. If we say Arsenal fail, so he's asked for Liverpool's thing now a treble. Yeah, no, it's our standards, their standards. I mean, like, does this carry through to all the other teams? I don't know, is everyone's target now a treble? Is the treble just become football? Yeah, I don't know. Quadruple, there we go. An invincible. Quadruple, yeah. And invincible. Invincible quadruple season. That is the last and next achievement that we've got to get. And if we don't, then Pep's a failure. I think what I did when I won the treble this year for selfish reasons, because Pep said we win the treble, I'm retiring. No, I don't want him to retire. Because I had this conversation with Ollie yesterday, I was thinking, if Pep would have another treble, would he just go, you know what? Yeah, my time's done. Because it's about trebles. What more have you got left to do in football than back-to-back trebles? You basically completed it. You just won't retire anywhere in World Football and just sit on the Bahamas and go, I've done it all. Yeah, I've done it all. That's it. So, hopefully it gives him a little bit of hunger this to want to win the Champions League again. Okay, it can back-to-back the Champions League, sign an extension so he can back-to-back it. Yeah, that was the thing that probably hurt me the most is the first time in a few years we've gone out with quarter-finals. Yeah, yeah. And now we do get to the last four. Yeah. But listen, I'd rather get beat by a real Madrid than get beat by a bloody Arsenal or something like that. Yeah, yeah, I agree, I agree. And go out on penalties. And go, yeah, and go out on penalties. How about you go out on penalties to Arsenal? Because technically, I was still unbeaten. I don't know how it works anymore, were they? See, I've seen this and people having this conversation on Twitter last night and today. So, Rodry's got that unbeaten run, hasn't he? What a shame, haven't you? Yeah. So, saying Rodry's got the unbeaten run and people saying, oh, it's now over that unbeaten run. But Arsenal beat us in penalties during that unbeaten run. Was it the community shield? Community shield. Yeah. So, if we're not counting that, because in 90 minutes, Rodry is not lost. So, I think it stands. I don't know how it works. I don't know how it works because... I have no idea. To me, penalties is a... I know, I said it to me some time last night at the game and I'm like, they need to find another way of doing this. And I don't know what way there is. I know they tried the golden goal. Golden goal. That's it. Yeah. They did that for about one year, didn't they? They let's do golden goal. Golden goal didn't last. You know, next season, we're into the UEFA Super League. Made out backwards. It is the UEFA Super League, isn't it? I don't know where we're going anymore. Blue cards, golden goal, Super League. Oh, I don't even mention blue cards. I forgot about them. We'll be having fly goalies next. Yeah. Yeah, fly goalies. Just anyone can go in. No, but I'm still positive. I do think we'll finish season strongly. Do them, we'll get our main target, which is that four-point. We'll break more red cards. And we'll make changes in the summer. See, that's the positivity that we need. I think... And Nunes will end up staying and you'll all end up crying about it. Nunes, yeah. I mean, I want Nunes to stay. I want to do a bit. Nice, the two-point. The Nunes thing is... I don't know. People think, you know, I don't mind the panic, Barry, because Pep's watched him for three years. Yeah, yeah. In that list of three years, he wasn't just picked out, plucked out a thin air of me. Yeah, they didn't just go, oh, yeah, we'll get him. We started about Nunes when he was at Sport in Lisbon. Yeah, yeah. When he was at Sport in, that's when we started looking at him. I had whited him. So, can't be that bad a player. I think you just got to give players time. Yeah, and he's been unfortunate to not get any time. If he isn't performing next season, then fair enough. Fair play at that point. But we've got to give everyone a year for me. Yeah, I agree. That is my rule with every sign. And they've got to get a year, and then that second year is where you can really judge them. And then if they're still not at it then, then, yeah, you can collect quits. But I think it's premature to collect quits now. Yeah, because, like I said, you can't allow Bernardo Nunes, who else could leave? Cobber six, for example, all out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then just buy Piquetto. Because there's no guarantees in what's the hour he's coming in. Yeah, it's a massive risk to just get rid of players to get these players in. Oh, and then KDB out the door. Because that's my other thing. We're all moaning about Gundigan leaving, but we all have to say something and say, KDB going to say what? We just revamping the whole squad out here, or? Yeah, we're resetting. Get rid of them all. Start again. I don't know. They're not going to do that. We just need to calm down, reset. We'll be fine. Absolutely fine, because we're going to have a bananas or something. Yeah. And we'll move. Unreal. Right, mate. Thank you for coming on, mates. I'm going to go play some real football. Do you know what I mean? I'm going to show them how it's done. I'm going to go win that treble. We'll start out with hot ones. Hot ones, yes. Hot ones needs to be done. Watch me cry. I can't wait for that. I cannot wait. I cannot wait. Exciting times. So you are obviously comparing us to the next guest in Hot Ones. I think MCFC lads wants to get one done as well. So... I won't do it. Screw that. Not a chance, mate. Not a chance. You ain't getting out of it now. Get moving over. Get moving over. Wait. When move next comes over, I've already told him. I said, next time you're in, mate. I said, I'm tying you down to it. I said, you're on it. Yeah. But I appreciate you coming on, innit? What have you got going on on the Mancunian way? We are live in 25 minutes to talk Real Madrid, Chelsea and transfer roundup. Yes, yes. So all your people, as you know, you're probably all subscribed to Martin nowadays anyway. But if you haven't, make sure you go and do that. Go check out Martin in 25 minutes. Come and join the Manc Tuat. TMT. That should be a new show, that. It's like TMT Sports, but yours is TMT Sports. Oh, and there is. We are, but I'm planning with Big Steve. There's going to be the people who love this, the ones who've been abusing me all week. There's a main road day show. It's finally starting. Oh, I love that. I love that. Big Steve are going to talk about some of our favourite main road days and games. Yeah. People, that would be a great show. That would be a great show. Two old dinosaurs talking about the old days. Yeah. Give people a bit of perspective instead of this winning lot or everything. But yeah, make sure you go to Martin's channel and subscribe over there. Make sure the notification bell so you know that when he's going live and stuff. We'll be back tomorrow with some more content. We've got a video with Big Steve tomorrow, and we've got the podcast coming out tomorrow, and then the rest of it. I have no idea. And I've not fought that far ahead. But yeah, we'll be back tomorrow. You'll see Martin again in half an hour. Appreciate you again, Martin, for coming on. And yeah. Yeah, well, we'll see you in the next one. See you in a bit.
