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

[Deleted member 77198]

Three years running Pep’s tried to change the way we play and taken our strengths away: dropped Sterling and played Gundo right wing at Anfield and got beat 3-0; dropped Kompany, Bernardo and de Bruyne at Spurs and got beat 1-0; plays 3-4-3 against Lyon and it’s not working

we are losing to a Lyon side that lost 5-1 to psg! and psg dont have a midfield

Neither do we at the moment.

Not a game for old legs. Would have preferred Foden over Fernandinho for this one.

Fernandinho was showing signs of age catching up on return from lockdown and shouldn’t be playing in this game.

This has been as terrible as I feared when I saw that team.

 

[Sparkys-Army]

I say we have another half to sort it out.

Completely agree but right now, we look awful which explains the moaning.

 

[gomer27]

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

This times 1000 Lyon aren’t a very good side, the way we lined up is ridiculous

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Raz giving him the runaround. More of that please!

 

[BlueMedic]

I never get the "give it until half time to change it" that gets said. It's not working, they look like scoring, we don't, how does doing to same for another 15 minutes help us? Accept the mistake and make the change early.

 

[balotellishaircut]

I'm fuming that he's stuck de bruyne out onto the wing

Same here, Kev does his best work centrally

 

[oasisband909]

fernandinho is lost. walker also looking confused - look like we can be opened up every time down our right

 

[Gabriel]

Watching our best midfielder chasing hopeful long balls into the channel is a depressing spectacle.

 

[Blu1]

Why pep why! Just play the best team & attack them. Ffs

 

[Ban-jani]

Why does he keep shooting???

 

[nellyonthewing]

They are working hard ,we seem happy to bide our time but one more and it’s over. Our centre of rodri,gundogan and Fern is ridiculously slow.

 

[Mancity1980]

I'm fuming that he's stuck de bruyne out onto the wing

I thought he would be a false 9.

 

[dave_blue12]

We all knew what was going to happen when we saw the line up.

It's bizarre that Pep keeps making the same mistake.

 

[oldhamblue]

Gundo offers fuck all. swap forPhil

 

[SleepingBlueTiger]

Ffs de bruyne stop with these pointless shots.

 

[Mantel]

Why is there so much moaning on here?

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

Because yesterday Bayern were leading 1-4 at this point. Against a worldclass Barcelona. And everybody hates Bayern. And we are far superior.

I miss 17/18
