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

[Newbridge Wolf]

Bloody hell, so much for being rusty. Quick reality check, we're not better than city (yet!)

 

[Alan]

Again, how the fuck are we allowing Foden that much space to begin the attack?

 

[AndyWolves]

Boly steps up but Coady doesn't

Foden in the space between our midfield two

Still, we've come back from 2-0 down before

 

[Jinky]

Let’s not forget that playing Traore at RWB was a “calculated risk”, I think some said.

This could be a cricket score.

 

[Jack Regan]

City have been superb, but we haven't turned up.

 

[The Bear]

Dear oh dear.

We've been completely outplayed all over the pitch, but Vinagre not covering himself in glory tonight. Left Foden in too much space for the first, then again didn't get anywhere near Foden for the second.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

7 v 4 in Wolves favour there and absolutely cut to ribbons.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Dread to think what the scoreline is going to be, it could be a cricket score.

 

[Tony Towner]

And then Neves just passes it straight out of play.

Two players we need to be better if we want to win games like this.

Ask yourself why we keep passing the ball out of play or giving it away when the target is Traore? He doesn't move, he's passive and watches the game only reacting when it comes to him. It's not so obvious on tele, but anyone who sits in the North Bank Upper will tell you that's the case

 

[Deleted Cyber]

its embarrassing so far to be fair.

 

[prawnking]

Shame, we look outclassed which tbf doesn't usually happen when we play the top sides.

Not helped by Marcal disruption but Neto and Pod have done next to nothing, Traore is wasted (as someone already said) and Vinagre has most of our possession and all he does is run into blind alleys.

Need a goal to change things before they're out of sight

You can't seriously be blaming Adama for not being able to receive a bad pass??

He's been bad, there's no doubt, but don't exonerate the player rolling it ten yards away from where he actually is.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Looks to be a bit more composure with the ball at the back tonight, looking to get the ball down and play more than the hurried more direct stuff that has seemed more commonplace of late but problem is just far too much stray passes giving possession back to City cheaply. Defensively been a mess though, City not even committing that many bodies forward half the time but finding so much space with such ease.

adama has been giving the ball away plenty. he passed the ball into their defense under no pressure before the goal.

Players expect him to move forwards to receive the ball, he doesn't. If he does it's not a bad pass. Both Neves and Coady have bollocked him for it today

 

[PuntsWolf]

The conclusion that they’re better than us but we haven’t turned up? Can only assume you misread my post.

2-0. Great stuff.

They are better than us and are playing better than us. We have turned up like usual but their high press and our uncomfortable system is doing for us. Then when we get then all we’re struggling to keep it. Not sure that’s difficult to understand

 

[Premier Quality]

I hope Nelson semedo isn’t watching this, he might get straight back on the plane!

Maybe he should bollock them for their piss marking so far, then.

There's plenty of blame to go around, but pinning Ruben's bad play also on Adama boggles my mind.

 

[Del Woppio]

We're not the first team to be mullered by City and we won't be the last. When City are on it, which they have been, you need a perfect defensive performance, and that was fucked when Saiss had his brain fart.

Most people wanted to upgrade Doc and Saiss. One down, one to go.

There’s very little which can’t be blamed on Adama as soon as anything goes wrong.
