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

[Jack Regan]

We've barely touched the ball since our subs.

 

[Alan]

Semedo must not be fit. Jonny can barely even kick the ball

*joke about Semedo being fit to me*

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I don't think we'd have gotten a result against this City team no matter who we had as manager or playing in whatever position.

Lage's not gonna get sacked after this, and it won't be the game that defines our season or Lage's reign.

Just a dose of reality for those ready to froth at the mouth at FT.

Well I totally agree there. This game wont be the decider. However, we really can't run the risk of waiting too long to make the decision. This squad is way way too good to be in trouble, but so was the Saunders squad in the division below. Let's not replicate that shit show.

 

[Jack Regan]

Semedo on... For RAN

 

[The Bear]

Lol Jonny stays on, and my MOTM (not a high bar) is off.

 

[YoungWolf]

Haha that’s amazing. What is the matter with this guy

Have they won every game this season?
Are we considerably worse than Villa than Newcastle then?
Sorry the shrug the shoulders what can you do attitude isn’t a dose of reality.
1 win in 14 matches, no goal in any second half this season, less than a ppg after 7 matches and only netting 3 times. That’s a dose of reality

 

[jlo]

80th minute.

And there's your 80th minute defensive sub. Even then it's the wrong one.

 

[The Bear]

Are we considerably worse than Villa than Newcastle then?

Not particularly, and yes.

We are a team who doesn't score goals. Man City are. Today's result was practically inevitable IMO.

 

[Jinky]

Without a shadow of doubt, we have the worst manager in the league by some distance.

 

[Alan]

Haha that’s amazing. What is the matter with this guy

“The opposition cannot counter our formation if even we don’t know what it is!”

 

[jd1981]

That last statement in itself says everything you need to know about our current predicament.
Once you start entering games with an attitude like that it tells you that something with your own side is severely wrong. Have we at least made them work for their win? No absolutely

 

[Wolf Hunting]

1st half or 2nd half, Jenas is an appalling, patronising cunt. A truly awful pundit.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Absolute bellwhiff. Truly appalling.

SUBSTITUTION
Wolves 0-3 Man City

Chem Campbell on for Wolves, replacing Pedro Neto who 'blanks' again.

...

 

[Templeton Peck]

Traore was decent

 

[Bigbadwulf07]

there'll be teams beaten by ManC by a much bigger margin and with 11 men on the pitch than us, today. Result as expected, men against boys

 

[darlowolf64]

Bruno walking up and down on the side line talking to himself... Time to throw some players under a bus

 

[The Bear]

Verdict thread is up. Please try and keep it cordial.

This will be closed soon.

Played so far
Leeds, Fulham, Spurs, Newcastle, Bournemouth, Saints and City.
I’d say that’s a fair spread of teams across the league. 6 points from 7 frankly is 4-5 points below par.
Today doesn’t define things but failure to get anything at Leeds being impotent for entire half’s of football v Newcastle and Bournemouth does.
