Match Thread | Man City vs Leicester (27/09/20)

[MCFC1993]

Too slow.

Our positioning looks wrong, can't find any space, barely threatened their goal bar a wonder goal.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Get an early goal and then pass for the sake of it. Deja vu.

 

[K8babes]

Also we need a forward
Sergio and Jesus are both Injury prone and this false 9 doesn’t work

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Foden looks very tired so i would take him off after 10 minutes of second half action.

We dont need two holding midfielders as they are just hampering our attacking game as they did against Wolves.

 

[Welsh]

I’m not old enough to remember some of the darker days. But for me Mendy is the worst City buy I can think of.

Enormous price tag, always injured, loses the ball constantly, no output. He’s been here 3 years and this is only his 25th home appearance in ALL COMPETITIONS.

Not to mention his massive price tag means we can’t see, and difficult to get another LB in.

Makes me sick watching him play.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

he looked great last week but looks fucked this week...maybe we can only play him every 3 or 4 games

I can’t agree with that. I don’t think the double pivot contributed anything, and Rodri was the better of the two.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Is anyone else having issues with the forum. I keep getting security errors

 

[Blu1]

LOSING

Give me a quick PM next time :p

Fook me that’s twice. Lol my fingers can’t be controlled

 

[exiled-blue]

Neville says we are biggest spenders in each of the last 4 or 5 seasons! What about United?

All came through the academy

 

[ws01]

One dumb move by Kyle has sullied what's been a pretty good half, although we've tapered away a bit towards the end.

They really don't look like troubling us much, so I'll expect us to come back and take full points here.

 

[Gumzy97]

Sterling striker dosent work, need Delap

 

[Keeper!]

Mendy finished, Fern finished, sad but true.

You can't carry passengers going for titles.

 

[borassic]

What the fuck is Neville going on about ? We are trying to win the game, Leicester always prolific on the counter attacks. We’ve been slow yes but other than Walker have defended well

 

[remember arthur mann]

Garcia was awesome against the Leicester counter

Fantastic defender, needs to give Walkabout some lessons !

 

[doobyedoobye]

Decent first half, unfortunate decision by Walker.

 

[Josh_D]

Sterling was also poor against Wolves.

We look clueless.

Don’t know who I’d take off to change things. We know Leicester will not budge until late into the second half and go for it. If the game remains as it is, they’ll probably come out a bit.

Nonetheless, I back the lads to step up.

 

[sh249]

Laboured.
Get Delap or Torres on for Fernandinho. And get the full backs to hold further back.

 

[WestGorton]

Walker has been brilliant and then he goes and does something like that

Agreed. Full backs were too far forward. We were winning with makeshift team. Defend the lead and make them come out. KDB just running into traffic.

 

[FCBarca]

City have to play faster, easier said than done when Leicester are playing a low block. If there is no creativity to dribble through the middle or widen the pitch with your FBs, you are waiting basically for a perfect chance to score - which may never arrive if the opponent in a 5-4-1 doesn't switch off. KDB is the only protagonist up front atm

Ferran Torres to come on?

 

[Big Dave Watson]

Same comment as the Bournemouth game.

You have to laugh. Leicester 1 shot on target, 1 goal, lol.
