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.

I’m not sure he’s the worst as we have bought some complete dogs in the past, but he a terrible full back, a complete liability
 
Started to tire quite early in that half and that’s not boding well for the second half. Foden is less effective against parked buses and Mahrez’s pressing is generally lackluster. Hard to see how we change the pattern of this game.
 
It's difficult for Mendy to do much given his outlet is crossing, and we're up against a packed defence with a 5ft7 non-striker up top.

I think the fullbacks and midfielders need to be a bit more savvy about when we might lose possession, they're often not prepared to press when that happens.

We pressed well at the start of the half, so it is POSSIBLE that fitness is still an issue.
 
I'd love Delap to come on but I don't think Pep will do it. The attack doesn't seem to be gelling today.
 
Big moment of that half was Ferna with a terrible miss from an unchallenged header six yards out. 2-0 and it's a different match. We must not revert to slow, slow play as they have time to organise. Move it quickly and we win this game. No idea what Kyle was thinking, you have to trust your keeper there. He seems too far up the pitch. Still should win this game if we play with pace.
 
This false nine shit is nonsense. Need a presence in the box. And get Mendy off ffs. What does the guy actually do these days. Awkward on the ball. Slow off it. Can’t cross a road

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?

Agree With this take. Thought we did very little from open play. Can’t recall a game where Foden has been this invisible either.
 
We've been poor in that first half, Really struggling to find ways to break Leicester down. We need Foden in a more central role, Maybe swap positions with Sterling who's struggling to play the striker role.

Defensively as a team we've been poor far to easy for Leicester to counter attack, We rarely tactical foul anymore, Any other time we would of taken Mendy out for their goal.

Hopefully we seen an improved second half.

Neville is one fucking moron I'd love to rip the little rats face off, Smug ****.
 
Neville slags us off for a full 10 mins then says he not being critical, yeah ok Gary.
Teams can get at city hmmmm well what about your shower of shit with world record defender Slabhead.
Better finishing by brighton yesterday would of seen ushited concede 7
