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

I was trying to explain last week that it was the press (specifically from Gabby and Phil) protecting our defense and not the pair of DMs.

It's quite obvious today. Less intense press equals weaker defensive cover.

Absolutely this..

Agree with people saying get Delap on

Delap on and Foden into midfield might work.

You would think Stones is on his way if Garcia wasn't playing

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

But a large percentage of that squad are currently unavailable for a whole host of reasons.

We have the same size squad as every other team. The commentator was trying to be a smart arse.

The man is a disgrace and people take the piss out of Garcia and JFE

You think he deliberately gets injured - imbecile !

 

[Keeper!]

JFE anyday over JFS

 

[damrider]

Alright we calm now?

We were the better team and deserve to lead. Second half is coming. Cmon city!

Probably asking a too much of him and don't think Pep will do it, but I think the move is to sacrifice one of Rodri/Fern for Delap and let Foden drop into central midfield.

We don't need 2 holding mids because Leicester are just going to try to spring Vardy with long balls, and as it is both Sterling and Foden are out of position and ineffective. Might as well let Sterling and Mahrez try to wreak havoc on the wings, KDB and Foden create some magic in midfield, and see if Delap can help with the link up and be a big target in the box.

Caveat: there is a reason I am not a manager.

“Not fully fit.” Again. Somehow.

Walker had a winger on his outside and vardy inside , Garcia doing fuck all to cover him. I wish people would make their own minds up rather than taking the crap that the pundits say as gospel.

Garcia is obviously lacking physicality, but he’s extremely talented. The idea that he isn’t very good is one of the more ridiculous things I read on here. He’ll be a loss.
