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

[HaalandEffect]

Need Mahrez, Bernardo at least.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Ferds off at Ht and Foden on

Do it now

 

[SamBlue]

This is worrying, to get 1:0 down into the second half, we need to score two goals with no chances created.

 

[ganganvince]

Denayer must be close to a yellow

 

[Damanino]

Pep simply cannot fail this game. Not after Monaco, Pool, spurs...

 

[ManCitizens.]

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

He is clearly overthinking big European games away from home, stupid

 

[Airbags Optional]

I am fuming at everything but he has basically lost this and I love Pep lots he has basically dropped the biggest bollock

 

[I'm Blue]

Set up defensively from the off and its transferred to a nervousness for the players.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Anyone got a river for me?

 

[domalino]

Mahrez for Fernandinho could be the sub, Walker isn't really puhing forward enough for a wingback, but we could use his pace in the back 3.

 

[Bigga]

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

lads moaning about fern being too slow, but then wanting David on??

Makes sense...

 

[willipp]

This is truely horrific so far. We have no shape, no intent, no patterns of play. Genuinely wondering what the fuck this setup is about.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Why is it an unwritten rule that we have to wait until 60 mins to change this bollocks? Stop wasting time, nothing is going to magically happen to get us back in it.

I would have made the change 15 minutes ago. Were meant to have the best attack in Europe yet we’ve set up thinking Lyon have.

It would be unacceptable given the funds he got.

 

[Mancityus]

Pep thinks there is a rule one cannot make a sub change before half.

 

[Ken92]

Are we even going to plkay again<st bayern?:D dont hink <so

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Just don't understand this at all.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

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

Yeah me too. Our best player, arguably the best player still left in this competition, and he’s stuck out wide not affecting the game

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

BOOK THE TWAT FOR DIVING THEN YOU C*NT.

 

[01cravend]

Kev trying to surprise the keeper with something he does everytime in that position
