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

[Mancity1980]

If we do prevail tonight, and I'm still confident, we'll have to improve beyond all recognition before we face Bayern.

To say the least.

 

[Josh_D]

They’re staying right on the edge because none of City’s defenders can catch them. Going to be a tough night.

 

[kanovic]

Why is there so much moaning on here?

Are we 0-3 down or something...??

Bc we have some of the best player on the bench and showing Lyon way too much respect. They came 7th in their league ffs

 

[Bigga]

Because we look absolutely awful, 1-0 down to Lyon in the QF of the champions league. I'd say its allowed.

I say we have another half to sort it out.

 

[Clercqs]

Horrible tactics

 

[bugsyblue]

Ferds off at Ht and Foden on

 

[bballchinaski]

change formation and sub fernandinho, wtf is this

 

[buckshot]

This is reminding me of the semi against RM, no plan at all to score.

 

[come-on-barney]

Fuckers play acting at every challenge.

rolling round for fun at every challenge

 

[blueballs84]

We're paying for peps continued confidence in Gundogan.

 

[NanaToure42]

Let's get to half at 1-0, maybe even knick one to get it 1-1 then system change at half

 

[pudge]

Why does he always wait until the Champions League QFs to fuck about

 

[Blue Potato]

Early changes required, rather than the usual subs on the 60 minute mark

 

[ManCitizens.]

I’m starting to wonder. Rodri + Gundogan is a known disaster. 6 out of 9 losses in the league comes from them starting. Fernandinho too? What the f-k is Pep thinking?

They both played in the Madrid games, the issue is the shape of the team

 

[Dax777]

We need foden and Bernardo to pull them around

I mean even a blind man could see this. But Pep can't.

Watch him bring in Dave and Otamendi instead :(

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

This match was never going to end 1-0 so let's just see what happens.

Somethings gotta change though. Gundo or Fern off and get Bernie on with some energy.

Get Kev the ball.

 

[bondsman]

Needs changing quick. Live Dinho but he’s having a mare.

 

[Airbags Optional]

Pep has got this so very badly wrong

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Gündy isn’t finding space and is ineffective with his back to goal. We have three better options for that role on the bench.

Or drop him back next to Rodri in a 4-3-1 and get Foden or Bernardo on for Fernandinho

 

[skyblues]

We’re missing a shitload of creativity. How can’t Pep see this?
