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

[Rammy Blue]

The pitch is abysmal which makes our football harder to play, no excuse for how wank we’ve been but it doesn’t help.

Poor performance - a few people hiding. Gundo is the only one playing to his normal level - and that's not a compliment.

 

[Burtonblue]

Lucky to be winning the way we have played
Much too slow moving the ball
Where is KDB?
Pep will be furious with that
I expect a massive improvement second half

 

[manimanc]

Hey, things can only get better eh?

Cheers D:ream.

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.

Errrrrr
Or move the ball quicker instead of stagnating on the ball.

Gundogan is clearly a talented player but he turns our team into a bunch of zombies. No fluidity or tempo to our game.

 

[Platt Lane 59]

Pep should bring Bernardo on for Gundy at half time. No need to worry about Burton match, so be adventurous NOW. Would even consider Foden coming on as he would try the quick, testing ball that we have not played 1st half. Yes, KDB does not look back to his best yet. Need an early 2nd goal.

 

[goatersnipple]

They've defended like Uruguay in '86

Were playing like were 86

 

[roj]

Please can we have a drum and clappy things at the Etihad

 

[Neville Kneville]

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.

It looks like that might have to happen. Although the players who are on the pitch should be ten times better.

If that first half is replicated in the 2nd, it's 50/50 we piss the league away.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

2nd worse passing accuracy stats this season apparently, so far.

 

[oakiecokie]

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

Don`t use shit like that top aper over the cracks today.We are shocking in midfield and some players havn`t been at the races.Pep will sort it out but don`t use the poor reffing as an excuse.We are slow with our build-up play,sloppy passing and carrying too may players.
Don`t know how you see that as a reffing decision.

think they started rugby on it again

Spot on. The need for one, then eventually both of the Silva’s, the better.

One thing is for sure. City will show a dramatic improvement in the second half.

 

[asaluttar]

What's the odds of us not getting a pen

Ha ha

 

[LIBlue]

Defense needs help with an outlet in mid other then fern, he’s getting chased down the sercond he gets the ball meanwhile our attack at the opposition box already ... silva would slow it down I’m sure pep will change things at half knowing how they are playing..

 

[MCFCAussie]

Sick of the silly Hudders fans booing Sterling every time he touches the ball cause they think he dived
Bloody stonewall pen!

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

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.

Guessing you never saw Lee Bradbury attempt to play football then?

 

[Ban-jani]

Yawn

Are you broken?

 

[Gray]

The game is so low key the crowd have gone to sleep.
