I don't really understand how the recent matches have anything to do with "Glory Hunters"? Aren't Glory Hunters fans that would jump ship to another more successful clubs, and that they have no loyalty to their own club?
I think a lot that are upset with our "anti-football" in away games against top 6, and our gutless defeat against Huddersfield, are not upset because of Jose's preferred strategies, but that we've drawn and lost.
Thing is, this is the longest we've gone without winning the league, since the EPL started. We've been the undisputed biggest club in England for a very long time. Under Fergie, we've never ended a season below 3rd place. As Arsenal, Chelsea, and City build teams to win the occasional season, we've always came right back and win it again.
Point is, as things are going, we're not winning the league this season, again. I think that's what many are upset about. Now I'm not saying it is impossible to win, as objectively speaking, it is still far too early to call. But that City have displayed excellent performances recently, while we're struggling with injures. It also didn't help that our rival swept away Liverpool, and we just park the bus and pray for a 1-0 win. Then we embarrassed ourselves against Huddersfield. Pep's philosophy is shown to be working for City, while we've been "found out". Remember how well we were doing at the start, but we never faced a "top team"? Guess what, now that we have faced tougher oppositions, we didn't do so hot.
So the question is, do we look like a league winning team? Or more importantly, do we have the capability of catching up the 5 points gap? Let's not forget, we have seen 03-04 Arsenal, we have seen 04-05 Chelsea, it is not crazy to think Pep's City this season would not drop many more points. They have depth in their squad, the team had a year to gel together, it's unlikely they will just collapse like Arsenal would.
Again, I'm not saying we're out of the race, because that would be too soon to call. But that we don't exactly look like we're on the right track to win it this season. We might need another summer of transfers to do so. Now then combine with the fact that we might be parking more buses, our midfield depleted, attack blunted for quite some more games this season, you can see why the frustration among the fans. Had we won against Liverpool and Huddersfield with "anti-football" and poor performance while carrying the longest list of injures in the league, then I don't think many would care at all. We would still be tie in points, and we've managed to beat 2 teams with a depleted squad. Now that's a championship winning team. But we didn't. So what does that say about our team and our manager's tactics?
It's not entertaining watching your team take hits and never hit back, but it is infinitely worst to still end up losing for nothing.
