Manchester City (a) 24/01 -Build up and match thread

Arias and Hwang is like playing with 9

 

[Carsy]

Wasn't a pen.

Other way round we’d be wanting it.

It’s one of those that will split opinion. A lot of time for the ref though. Usually as soon as they go to monitor the decision is changed

Would’ve been so much easier to give it as well for the ref so fair play to him sticking with what he saw.

Agree, I think it was a penalty.

I’d have wanted it.

 

[Wolftone]

Arias completely innocuous

 

[jd1981]

2-0 start the car

 

[Dire Wolf]

Wolves team completely innocuous

Corrected your error.

 

[Jack Regan]

I’d have wanted it.

I'd be more pissed that our player didn't actually score because after cutting back inside and keeping the ball he very much should have.

Anyway it's 2-0 now so of zero consequence.

 

[YoungWolf]

wtf is Krejci even doing

 

[Wolftone]

That's that then

 

[AndyWolves]

I don't see how that's a penalty. Had no time to react and his arms were in a natural position.

Imvho the only time it should be a penalty in those circumstances is if it's a shot on goal

No, I'd have been delighted if we'd got that. Hits his torso and arm at the same time. And his arm is in a natural position.

 

[jd1981]

Scoreline is a bang on reflection of how the balance of the games gone maybe flatters us.
Our crappy squad being shown up

 

[PuntsWolf]

I think that’s just a good goal tbh

 

[Tony Towner]

They pass around the responsibility, but the number of goals we've conceded this season because a centre half just doesn't do the basics must be a high percentage of the total

 

[Dire Wolf]

The fact that City with all the players they already have can go out and buy Semenyo and Guehi in January is a sign of how broken PL football is. I detest what football has become.

 

[Jinky]

Second goal has killed it. Edwards could have argued his tactics worked if we’d got to half time 1-0 down because we’re in touch and he can sling the big men on in the second half, but this is done as a contest now.

Hopefully Pep leaves Haaland on the bench because I’ve got Semenyo as my VC on FPL so might as well bank those points!

 

[EnglishBob]

Arias and Hwang is like playing with 9

Throw in Tchatchoua and I'd argue it's like playing with 8 (at most). And not even 8 good ones. Again, this game should be an embarrassment to the Premier League it's so one-sided.

 

[AndyWolves]

Part of me wonders if we could have got semenyo when he was at Bristol city

 

[Tony Towner]

Krejci's body position is poor, means he's caught off balance and therefore a simple switch to the left opens up the opportunity. He ends up with a free shot on goal without really having to do anything. Good finish though
