Manchester City (H) 17/9: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Jack Regan]

Keeps Toti's confidence up for the next three games rather than him being on the pitch for the inevitable onslaught in the second half?

 

[Lupollet]

When we used to play city under Nuno I was so proud of us and the way we frustrated them and gradually got on top.

This is a complete and utter embarrassment. Hateful crap from Bruno.

I’m half hoping they get enough to mean he’s sacked tonight.

 

[Jinky]

Now he’s changed his mind. Happy with Neves at CB.

 

[The Bear]

What the fuck are we doing? No sub whatsoever?

Just until HT?

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Now he’s changed his mind. Happy with Neves at CB.

Hes a total embarrassment.

 

[The Bear]

Another barge by Akanji.

 

[Lupollet]

Is Nunes playing?

 

[Jack Regan]

Is Nunes playing?

No but Matheus is...

 

[Jinky]

Is Nunes playing?

Personally think he’s done alright so far. Very good at keeping hold of possession (although it was him giving it away that led to City’s opener).

 

[Alan]

Messi circa-2012 wouldn't save these tactics. Utterly hopeless.

I didn't even feel this disenfranchised by the team when fucking Saunders was in charge.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We really, REALLY need to sack this fool as soon as fucking possible. We have a great squad being managed by an absolute imbecile.

 

[Alan]

Any boos when the HT whistle went? Watching on mute.

Sounded like a few but not very loud

 

[Tredman]

Yes a few

 

[Alan]

Sounded like a few but not very loud

Why is Molineux only toxic when we don’t need it to be

 

[Jinky]

Jonny has been embarrassed over and over and over again. The games gone, so he’ll try and keep the score line as low as possible.

Me, I’d go:

Semedo on for Jonny.
Toti on for Moutinho.

Neto - Guedes - Podence
Neves - Nunes
RAN - Toti - Kilman - Semedo
Sa

[jlo]

What's worse, City really haven't got out of second gear.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Well what to say about that? Good players being managed by an absolute bellend. Lions led by donkeys comes to mind.

Positives: Guedes and Mattheus. That's about it.

Negatives: tactics first and foremost. We've given them the freedom of Wolverhampton. Then in no particular order, Neto, Podence, Moutinho, Jonny, RAN, Collins. All complete dogshit.

 

[Wolftone]

Maybe if we'd played Hwang instead of Podence and played Neto and Johnny on the left.....

 

[Tony Towner]

Ah, I thought it was abductor and Tony had typo'd

Such fucking shade
