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

[@BluePhil8]

4-1, got to laugh.

Same as last season, but that’s hardly a surprise considering the minimal business we’ve done

We can’t possibly do the business that we need to do in this window, so it’s a bit worrying.

Really we needed to sign a good number 2 to replace Bravo and to actually push Ederson to keep his number 1 spot. Mendy isn’t good enough to be out back up left back so we needed to offload him AND Zinchenko to sign 2 dedicated left backs. Fernandinho looks past it sadly and has lost his legs, so we really need to offload him and sign a replacement. Torres is a good prospect but we haven’t replaced Sane’s pace. We are really one paced as a team now.

If we play 20 games in a row with;

Ederson
Walker Dias Laporte Ake
Rodri

I’m confident we’d win the vast majority. Sadly, and as ungrateful as I sound, Pep will persist with Garcia until he fucks off to Spain, and Fernandinho and Mendy will still see plenty of minutes.

 

[Alex - Not City Matters]

Stale. Not just the performance, but that is the feeling about the whole squad and management at the moment.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

We've gone such the wrong way with this squad

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I'm not a flapper, and there are some mitigating circumstances, but this performance isn't the performance of champions. We are flat, we don't look like scoring, there's no belief, we ran out of steam 20 minutes in, and it looks like all of the problems from Lyon are still but worse. This isn't good.

 

[CWMCFC]

It’s gone past The point of being a personnel issue now, there’s a glaring issue with the system that needs to change.

Every break Leicester have acres and acres of space to run into and it’s been the same story for over a year.

 

[i8rags]

Lost half his team don’t you mean, I would defy anybody to sort this out with the players available.

Fuck off with that, rag

 

[ballinio]

Why bother bringing Laporte on now, three goals too late.

Absolutely pathetic management

 

[wolviedinho]

We look tired and slow and have no idea when we attack. Games like this can sometimes bring about change. The group needs to look at themselves and sort this out. Maybe a change in formation.

 

[bluemoon32]

Leicester giving us a hard lesson & showing us how it's done, they fully deserve the win.
Come on City

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Awfull were gonna struggle to regain title after this

 

[Keeper!]

Maybe we should actually try and sign world class players again instead of this dumb transfer strategy we have now?

You get what you pay for, Garry Cook could teach Tixki and Co a lot!

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Rodri is wank mate

£ for £ one of our worst signings. Tortoise

 

[blueballs84]

Flashbacks to Pellegrini's last season

 

[citizenyank76]

Don't get Garcia at all. It's like gets trying to close out a shadow on the other end of the field. The awareness is just not there. Not like the others are doing much better.

 

[mat]

Some precious cunts on here.

Half the squad injured (maybe more after this game) but yeah it’s our greatest manager ever fault.


Get some humility.

 

[mickeyblueeyes]

I’m done listening to these two arsewipes they are loving this fuck off

 

[1.618034]

This is like the sick swan without the sending off.

JFE's revenge?

 

[super_city_si]

Nice of us to make Ake feel at home. I suppose he needs bedding in gradually. Can’t give him winning shock.

 

[dubblue]

until we sort our replacements for Garcia, Mendy, Rodri/Ferna and Kun we wont win much more

Yep

 

[heslops barnet]

Never did like those ‘Bald fraud’ comments but beginning to wonder if Arteta was the real genius?
