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

[Jinky]

Costa looks so far off the pace.

No he doesn’t.

 

[Lichens]

Costa looks so far off the pace.

Yeah he does unfortunately

 

[Jinky]

Excellent from Costa skinning Mendy. “Off the pace”. Get a grip.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Worry for Coady there, steps forward as a ball is played towards Aguero but the pass is lofted straight over his head so Aguero gets a free header to nod down to Gundogan. Luckily his shot is weak and Patricio can gather it up at the second attempt under a bit of pressure.

 

[Alan]

I have a grip. Costa hasn't looked good beyond that one moment.

Jota slightly better than the first two games, at least.

 

[jdrodrigues]

We're doing really well.

Our defense is making some mistakes, but playing well so far.

 

[Lichens]

City definitely attacking Doherty-Bennett-Coady but they’ve held up well so far

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Mix up between Doherty and Bennett nearly caused a problem then as a ball was dinked in between them. Bennett perhaps distracted by Doherty in his eyeline as the ball dropped over him and then the latter possibly worried about what happened last week and he was headincg back towards his own goal again. Both failed to commit to anything and the ball just dropped between them and came loose to Aguero.

Oof. We have one chalked off for offside then they hit the post 30s later

 

[big mean bunny]

Listening sat in the car. Nerves already rattled.

According to the beeb, city concentrating in coach/docherty down our right side

 

[BillyDee]

Not sure how Rui made that save, it was the wrong side for him...

 

[Carrotdude]

Bloody hell. Good game this, amazing save from Rui

 

[Alan]

Jesus, City have some ridiculous attacking talent, don't they? Drawing a magnificent save from Ruí just now.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Brilliant save Patricio. Now that's world class

 

[jdrodrigues]

What a defense (save) from Patrício. Damn.

 

[YoungWolf]

World class save that

We are doing well but just slightly to easy to play in the space between midfield and defence in the inside channels. We will get punished if we don’t sort that

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Sloppy from Jimemez to stray offside there, Aguero fasted to react when the cross was deflected off Silva but only hits the post and then Sterling's long range effort tipped onto the bar by Patricio as Moutinho just couldn't quite close him in time.

 

[Jinky]

What a fucking save by Rui.

Our defence is getting cut to shreds here. Neville picking up that the Bennett/Doherty side is our weak link.

Not sure how Rui made that save, it was the wrong side for him...

Saved it with the wrong hand too!
