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

[Tricky_Trev]

Playing a double pivot with someone that can’t run is not more defensively sound than playing a single pivot with the player that can’t run not on the pitch. And it never will be.

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.

He wouldn't make the top thirty.

We are struggling for cutting edge without a striker and wingers who (apart from the goal) haven't done too much. Our only good chances have come from set plays.

Need Sterling on the left, get someone else in the middle.

 

[Cityzen_89]

I’m not sold on Ake, jumps out too much

In all fairness his partners to the left and right would make Puyol look shite. He is playing okay but his teamates are letting him down.

 

[mccity]

Ratboy and drury i think it is

Leslie. Drury doesn't do Sky.

 

[wattle]

Cancelo, Laporte, stones, gundagon, Jesus, Sergio, Bernardo all out and twats on here crying like little babies because we’re not 3 or 4 nil up.

Any list of worst transfers that doesn’t have Mangala on top of it doesn’t count. Even Stones is a worse buy imo.

 

[Keeper!]

Fern off and doyle on

Legs and energy, our side is desperate for it

 

[give it to gordon]

So sky saying Leicester have been great ? But if I was a neutral I would be asleep by now not a good advert for football, boring as f**k

 

[GornikDaze]

He wouldn't make the top thirty.

He did say he couldn’t remember the dark days!

 

[sir baconface]

Great goal otherwise totally disappointing.

Walker gives them a free pass to split the defence, being upfield and/or or out of position every time. Phil and Raz - are they even playing? Mendy looks like a geriatric Sunday Leaguer.

If Leicester show more than zero ambition in the second half, the points are there for the taking.

 

[kalouk]

He’ll come on in the 88th minute when we’re down 1-2. ;-)

That's funny because it's true

Ratboy and drury i think it is

Was confused as I was hearing a completely different conversation! Different feeds.

Didn’t Doyle play yesterday?

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Apparently we have the biggest squad, so nobody will offer much sympathy.

Mendy, Foden and Sterling in that order, absolutely shocking.

I fear Mendy has already had an instant impact on how poor Ake's positional play is.

Mendy is now responsbile for other players performances; the agenda some people have against certain players is laughable!

 

[1961_vintage]

Same old story.Dominate possession,score,then miss decent gilt edged chances.They score from their only fucking chance.

Rinse/repeat ad nauseum.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

It's easier said than done, but some of you may need to relax a little. The world isn't ending.

I mean, it is, but not because City had an underwhelming first half

 

[deano ou812]

No striker playing has us in part to blame with way things have gone,score a fantastic goal after 4 mins as well but then begin to drop off,and play safe not enough urgency..

 

[Taylor]

Walker managed to both play Vardy onside AND be the wrong side of him for the penalty. Not even sure how that’s possible

Said this morning on the Dias forum. Pace doesn't make you an amazing defender.

Walker may be quick but he has too many brain farts

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Leslie. Drury doesn't do Sky.

Rat boys doing my head in what a clown.
His teams shite so having a pop at us
