Match Thread | Huddersfield vs Man City (20/01/19)

[B\connellblue]

Pep needs to wake the fk up. Send them out second half like rabid dogs because that was atrocious. No intensity at all. Oh and leave his pet gundog on the bench, everytime he plays we are shite.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Pep looks bored.

Think that’s a bored expression to mask his fury. I’ve a feeling “sweary Pep” will be unleashed at half time.

Really pedestrian performance, not like us at all. Can’t think of so few chances created.

Hopefully a h/t rollicking and a couple of substitutions will rouse us from our slumber.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Very poor from us that half. That complacency is evident again.

If we don’t turn up 2nd half this has got dropped points all over it.

Ref is bent as fuck which isn’t going to help either. That was a definite pen on Sterling.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Attitude stinks.

Kev has been the worst of the lot, his pass completion must be in single figures, closely followed by Gundogan.

Walker just looks edgy now.

Fern is the only one even trying to knit things.

All there for Raheem and Sane, but we need a link man and that means Dave or Bernardo being added to the mix.

 

[ultimateharold]

Saving legs for weds.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

In terms of passing, the worst performance of the season. No question. If we weren’t up against such a poor side themselves, I genuinely believe we’d be behind by a couple of goals.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

That was so dull

 

[paulsimpson]

Got to be careful playing into the sun second half - if in doubt just hit to safety

Cmon blues

One of the worst we've passed it all season this. Shocking. I'm not a Gundagan knocker but he's been the worst so far. He only plays well in the Fern position. And the officials have been utter shocking for both teams. Mariner just waits for the player reaction then gives a free kicj and yellow card. No way was that a yellow against the Huddersfield lad against Fern. Yeh he caught him but he was just trying to block the ball. And Raz's penalty???? Never has there been a more blatant pen. He must be reading RAWK a lot

 

[bigbluekev]

Pep will sort them out at halftime. Speed is the key. The passing is as worst as I've seen in the last few years. It's as if we've given up on the title already. We are however as I said earlier missing the craft of the Silva's.

 

[lazza10]

We’ve had some poor player performances this season. But Gundogan is the worst player on that pitch. And that first 45 has been the worst performance from any city player I’ve seen myself. Terrible.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Just seen that Sterling foul.

Absolute horseshit. His (media driven) reputation was the deciding factor there for sure.

Anyone else, and that's given.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

David or Bernardo on for Gundogan, although he's been no worse than either Dinho or Kevin.

 

[pudge]

Pep is going to rip their heads off

He looks as not so bothered as the rest of them tbf

 

[jaiguruKun]

It's hard to break down teams who play with 10 men behind the ball. They have been doubling up on our wingers which means all the space has been in the middle. The pass has to be perfect to get through.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Someone needs hooked at half time as a sign to the rest of them. Walker, Gundo, Kev, Kun all very lethargic and sloppy. No tempo no thought. Give them five minutes then Silva x2 + Gabby if there is no improvement.

 

[Platt Lane 59]

We’ve had some poor player performances this season. But Gundogan is the worst player on that pitch. And that first 45 has been the worst performance from any city player I’ve seen myself. Terrible.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Gundogan is a fucking disgrace but Pep has to take some responsibility here. Playing Gundogan is never a good decision but playing him alongside a guy who has barely played all season is a terrible decision. You play KDB, you play Silva to give us midfield control, what you don’t do is play KDB and throw in Gundogan the friendly fucking ghost next to him.

 

[Chi-town blues]

We are not having a good game because our players are hacked every second but the ref keeps ignoring.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Complacency is not supposed to be a part of Peps playbook. That was 45 minutes of lazy arsed play by the majority of the team.
