Match Thread | West Ham vs Man City (24/10/20)

[ID70]

73% possession and one shot on target, City all over

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

We're objectively shite to watch lately. There is going to be frustration among the fans given the talent we have.

Exactly, like if we didn’t have so many expensive players you could forgive poor play but it’s tiring watching £200 million odd of poor defending

 

[kaz7]

It’s exactly how’s he’s played since he’s come back. Looks like an old man trying to cling on to his career at the moment.

Lol

I'd love to get a gif of that passage just before with Rodri in transition

Opposition on the backfoot and not set in their shape, instead of driving forward at speed and attempting a killer pass, Rodri takes a couple of slow awkward touches, sees he doesn't have any ability to attempt a forward pass, and goes back around 90 degrees to pass it to the backline

Diabolical

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Lack of creativity from midfield without Kevin and Dave is grim. Everything has to go down the wings and it's predictable and easy to defend against.

a midfield of Gundogan, Rodri and Bernando is just wrong.

De Bruyne and Foden should be our midfield flair with Bernado out right.

I’d get them two on and Mahrez and Gundogan or Rodri off.

Will prob happen by the 85th min.

Garcia shooting from that distance suggests they don't really know what to do.

Pass to Aguero was on there.

 

[bondsman]

Easy this for west ham

 

[ami]

Why isn’t Foden and Ferran playing on the flanks? They offer a lot more than Sterling and Mahrez.

 

[jollylescott]

I’m not liking the position that Bernie is playing, whatever it is ;-)

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Same feeling every week... midfield and attack are miles worse than our defence. We create nothing.

 

[RandomJ]

Our play boils down to passing is about aimlessly then eventually passing it out wide for one of our players to put in a desperate cross that Aguero is never going to win.

 

[Mancity1980]

Garcia shooting from that distance suggests they don't really know what to do.

It suggests he doesn’t know what he is doing. Powder puff shooting,

 

[Del_Bosque]

You’d think they’d be right up for this after Liverpool losing Van Dijk

needs a major shake up

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Mahrez has been painfully bad again.

He plays with absolutely no determination or energy at all. It’s like he’s got rechargeable batteries that are never on more than 60%.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Like to see Kev for Mahrez...the right footed cross from that side looks the more likely

 

[ScottSinclair]

A one-legged De Bruyne is more likely to have a impact than the german joker. Fresh ideas please.

 

[wolviedinho]

No surprise. This was always going to happen and will keep on happening if pep picks gundo, rodders, mahrez and Garcia in the same lineup.

 

[bennyboy]

Terrible play from the usual suspects.

 

[Fordyboy46]

I have seen 60 year olds put more effort in a 30 minutes walking football game than City so far. There has to be a story behind this

Frightening how shit we've become. We look nothing more than a mid table club at present

 

[oasisband909]

This team is not good enough to be a top 4 team never mind win the league. Huge amounts wasted on average players who perform badly

this.

people mock us because we spend ridiculous amounts on average squad players or full backs. Cancelo, Mendy, Rodri. even Torres and Gundog were only cheap because of their contracts.

This team is nowhere near as good as we think it is. Aguero should have been moved on by now as well and replaced as should fernandinho.
