Match Thread | Man City vs West Ham (27/02/19)

Fucking awful finishing. How can a team so good that creates so much miss so many chances? So frustrating, it's really making me angry. Makes it worse that of course the cheating fucking scousers are strolling against their shit opponents.

Need Sterling on at half time, Mahrez is hampering us.

Be typical pep if he hooks sane first

I really need Mahrez to score. This shit is beginning to get to him.

Pep should move him to the middle for a bit.

Agreed! He hasn’t played for a long time and of course there’ll be communication issues.

 

[Mr.Feeny]

Willing Mahrez to do well but his confidence is shot

Sterling on early please

The only worry is that taking him off at half time will do his confidence no good. He needs to find his form and while it's frustrating that he's struggling, taking him off right now will mess with his head.

Just think how upset Liverpool will be when Sterling scores the winner in the 83rd minute!!

Think he scored the winner even later last year. Let's get behind the lads Marez dung but let's hope he can improve.

In the 78th min!

Carabao hangover. Need to switch to Gatorade.

We need to win that’s all that matters I couldn’t care about his confidence

David Silva scored the winner last year. In the 84th minute I think.

Lanzini for Nasri is strangely aggressive for Mp

 

[jimharri]

Anyone watching via NowTV? It's a surreal experience.

 

[lionheart]

If we bring on Bernardo before the 65th minute, we will win. Please nudge Pep accordingly.

 

[kaz7]

Lanzine on for them

Awful half from mahrez. I've finally lost patience with him. Leave him in the dressing room, permanently. Sadly I think it's going to be one of those games, we dont look like scoring and I think WHU will carry out a smash and grab here tonight. Has all the hall marks of the Newcastle game.

 

[big gaz]

Give Mahrez a break FFS. The guy hardly ever gets a game or even time as a sub. No surprise he's rusty. Sure I'm not his biggest fan either as I think he lacks the quality needed for this City team. The main worry for me is the form of Dave and KBD. Those two can carry the team by themselves, but they've both been waaaay off the mark for weeks.

Be careful there mate ;-)

No it doesn't
Wise up mate

 

[Damanino]

Why arent we using the fullbacks in attacks? Remember those crazy runs Walker had at Tottenham or even Zabaleta for us during Pellegrini era? Pep much more conservative with them even tho he had Dani Alves in similar role at Barca or even Alaba at Bayern.

Mahrez would benefit from an overlapping fullback imo a lot. At least we should do it on one side and have the rest of defence balance it out at the back at those times.

We always used to make Winston Reid look like a hero something about West Ham

 

[Heath Park]

Richard Dunne own goal to win it for West Ham??
