Man City (H) 21/9 Build-Up & Match Thread

[Alan]

I swear, the next person to mention Buur... :icon_lol:

Should be given a sweater?

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Traore being poor again there

 

[Parkins left foot]

Adama has not been the worst out there - he's not a RWB but we all know that

Hopefully he doesn't need to play there again after this week

 

[Jinky]

As bad as the first half was - if we get the next goal I still fancy us.

 

[AndyWolves]

Lol at Mendy just letting Adama go

 

[PuntsWolf]

Moutinho has been dog shit

 

[Alan]

Then when Traore does flash the skills, nobody bothers to keep up.

At times he's like a puzzle piece from, well, a different puzzle than the rest of the team.

 

[Del Woppio]

Ball retention has been absolutely shocking.

 

[prawnking]

Jota would have scored that Podence chance

 

[Parkins left foot]

Can't see why we are persisting with 3 up front now

And please stop giving De Bruyne the ball

Decent from Adama & Podence there - first shot anywhere near their goal

 

[Jinky]

Better there.

Oh look - push Adama on to Mendy who is on a yellow and we create a chance.

 

[Alan]

Oh, Daniel! Nearly, nearly.

 

[Premier Quality]

Jesus, why did podence leave it and then Neves scuffs it.

Great run by Neto tho.

I would say defensively he has been awful. A total liability. However, our best play has come from him attacking.

Our season won’t be summed up by losing (if we do) to city. I wouldn’t hoped for a more competitive first half though.

 

[Tredman]

Fucking hit it!

 

[Carsy]

Podence should be hitting that there

 

[Jinky]

1) why did Podence leave it?

2) my 4 year old daughter could have kicked the ball harder than Neves.

At least we are creating something

 

[prawnking]

Two worries:

If we're beginning the transition to being more of a possession side, we have plenty of work to do (with the caveat that City are of course a couple of levels above us)

Where are Doc and Jota's goals gonna come from now?

 

[slink]

Should be back in it now, 2 more than decent chances.

 

[StuardoWulf]

Jota would have scored that Podence chance

Cause he would, he was the greatest finisher EVER
