Match Thread | Man City vs Lyon (15/08/20)

[Beanhead]

Not a great opening 15 mins

 

[argyle]

For this to work the front players have to trap and hold the ball. They're not doing right now.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

De Bruyne been very sloppy so far, can't afford that.

 

[01cravend]

Other than that early chance this has been very pedestrian

 

[razman]

Getting used to the system, the players

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Nowt wrong with that

 

[Josh_D]

Can’t keep the ball in the middle of the park.

 

[I'm Blue]

My nerves are shot to buggery.

 

[creditunionhero]

we need to be careful playing it through to Jesus, is has to be spot on, if he mis-controls we lose possession in a bad area

 

[MeatHunterrr]

This experimentation in CL games needs to fuck off after this season

We've already gotten in behind them and almost scored twice!

Not sure how much more you're expecting in a CL quarter final. This isn't an October home game vs. Watford, they aren't going to roll over.

The formation & line up is a fucking mess

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Movement up front is Static

Yep, said the same. This is going to be a very tense game. Low block and we play with no movement, no tempo, no intent. Worrying start. We are relying on KDB magic rather than team play it seems.

 

[SamBlue]

Very safe but stodgy so far.

Getting used to the system, the players

This is the trouble,this is not our usual game,in a knock out game of all times

 

[RayCTID]

Not sparkling from us but we doing ok.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Patience blueboys

 

[cjn]

Genuinely forgot Gundo was on the pitch until he popped up to put that ball out of play just now.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Can see where one less creative attacking player isn’t there so far with three defenders, two full backs and two defensive mids... One less creator in the final third and it’s all less incisive.

kdb doesnt look happy with the way the game is going
