Man City (H) 25/8 Build-Up Thread

Saved it with the wrong hand too!

Maybe he is right handed after all. [emoji6]

It’s not surprising but Coady, Bennett and Doherty are struggling a bit, this is a step above their level but we’re performing admirably, we’re giving City a good game and that’s more than most teams do against them

Don't, you will give someone a coronary!

 

[Jinky]

Doherty is so shit :icon_lol:

 

[Alan]

Some of the defensive work Aguero does is just so impressive. What a player he is.

 

[Carrotdude]

Jota needs to stop taking people on in our own half especially when people have run past him

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Jota poor choice again, tries to skip through two players and loses the ball then fouls Silva tracking back.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Jonny defending well so far.

 

[Jinky]

19% possession in the last 10 minutes. Game is going one way at the moment.

 

[Dolph06]

We started well and looked quite good but City are really growing into this now. We are not playing poorly but you can see how City are capable of getting through our defence.

 

[visage]

City turning the screw. Need to see this through.

 

[Jinky]

Get through to half time 0-0 and we’ve got the unpredictability of Traore to bring on.

 

[Alan]

City in fairly firm control now as our passing to break forward has fallen apart a bit.

 

[jdrodrigues]

The team and football of Manchester City should be considered as cheating.

Something out of FM with plug n' play tactics.

 

[Dolph06]

City really are extraordinary at creating space for the extra man (overload). They do it so subtly.

Sounds like Costa is doing okay but Jota struggling again. Obviously hard to go off the commentary but sounds like Traore for Jota would be an ideal sub. Get someone moving the ball quickly, ease the pressure, get the back line higher up the pitch.

 

[Alan]

Holy shit, Jiminez is so good.

 

[Carrotdude]

Doherty doesn’t look like he’s got any confidence on the ball

Jota slightly better than Costa but neither good enough so far, IMO.

Hell of a ball forward by Coady, shame Jimenez couldn't take it into his stride as he might have got away but did well to bring it down at all the way it was drilled up to him. Resultant corner cleared but the balled returned in and fell to Jimenez who sliced out for a throw, should've done better after cheating it down, had options to square it to as well.
