Match Thread | Manchester City vs Lyon (19/09/18)

[SWP's back]

Liverpool will bum us again at Anfield, just so poor in that middle.

Stop talking about Liverpool you closet scouse trolling thunderclit.

Sloppy passing that has been creeping in recently.
Gabriel Jesus is a myth and offers very little to the team, not good enough to be in this squad for me.
Lyon are a decent side.
Silly mistakes led to goals.
Bernardo being wasted tonight.
Laporte and Stones are the same player, hope they form some partnership or understanding.

Hopefully the wake up call the squad needs moving forward for the rest of the season.

 

[jimharri]

Arteta out!

 

[TheBlueDune]

Losing this in midfield.

 

[brummie blue]

Deserved. What you get for a moronic team selection.

We have a habit of poor team selection in the Champions League

 

[davymcfc]

If anyone can explain why Ilkay is in the middle, Bernardo out wide and Leroy on the bench then I would like to hear it. These are the changes that need to be made.

 

[domalino]

Sterling has had 4 good oppurtunities and done nothing with them. Get Mahrez on, his maturity in Aguero's absence may also help.

HT - what a shit show.

Funny how all the 'fanny' comments dissappear at 2-0. The obvious was coming, no point having a go at people for pointing it out.

I can't believe anyone is actually so stupid they think Sterling, the only player who has looked like he might do something, should come off.

 

[Aussie!]

I'd go 3 at the back and hook Delph off too, shit pass after shit pass.

There's no choice really, theres no option to play defensive anymore. 0-2 down at fucking home. embarrasing

 

[Blu1]

This is City from Pep’s first season. Cue the rag comments, how original. It’s poor, I don’t know how anyone can conclude otherwise.

Agree. We have started this season like year 1 even if we have had the results. I have not been convinced with our play. This might be the wake up they all need inc pep.

FFS dipper

 

[lancs blue]

Sane and Sergio on at HT for Gundo and Delph, may as well go for it.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Surely the lack of central midfielders isn't becoming a problem already?

Not too many options to change it around there with De Bruyne out.

 

[kippaxking79]

Shite all round. We haven't even bothered to turn up.

 

[rapidCT]

Deserved. What you get for a moronic team selection.

Well said. Fernandinho and Gundogan just can t play togheter. Bernardo is our best CM at the moment and he is playing wide. Sane should have started. Is this Peps or Artetas team?

[teddykgb]

Lot of work to do now. Lucky this is a group stage match and a loss won't kill us.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I guess we know what Pep brings to the team now. Because let's be honest, when it was obvious that we weren't creating anything and people weren't open for passes, he would have changed something. Arteta might be a talented young coach, but managing a team like ours in a Champions League game is a big job.

The thing that pisses me off most about this is that this all comes back to us getting completely screwed over against Liverpool.

 

[bluethai]

Very poor shape and form, especially both center midfields Fernandinho and Gundogan.

 

[stan bowles]

Huge mistake not buying a top class DM in the summer. Mahrez was a luxury. Nice but not essential. Right now Fern and Gundogan just aren't up to it.
