Cheltenham Town (A) | Post-Match Thread

the magic of the FA cup is alive and kicking in PHIL FODEN boy this lad can reach the stars and beyond
fuck england and what he can do for international football THIS BOY IS MANCHESTER CITY BLUE AND CAN WIN EVERYTHING AT CLUB LEVEL
He will do mate but it’ll only be at club level with that useless **** southgate in charge
 
Phil Foden stand up. That for me was his best display ever in a city shirt and is a moment in his development we will look back on. Not many positives there but he just showed the world how good he is.
The thing that stood out for me is that he is a leader. When the rest were fannying around he was direct and constantly a threat.
 
Was it only me that saw them flying into challenges recklessly with the knowledge that the ref wouldn’t do anything because that’s “the magic of the cup”?

Fair enough they had a go at us but I despise how the rules of the game change depending on the occasion.

I think it was a very slow pitch, which always makes those challenges much less dangerous, they had some agricultural looking tackles but not with any great speed behind them, and our players weren't getting outraged with the refereeing.
 
Poor performance but squeezed through. Cheltenham excellent on and off the pitch.

Torres should thank Mahrez for keeping him out of the spotlight.
Torres had no supply on the first half, when he got swapped to the right wing in the second half he had 3 on him at times. Mahrez should be carrying these kids , same as Mendy. Fucking sick of the twat smiling and laughing on the pitch all the time. Doyle did well first half but I would have brought the fat twat mendy off. Fuck me Edghill got more shit a, but at least he tried andr we were shit then.
 
I think foden is well managed by city credit to pep and foden .

Yep. I'll hold my hands up and say I'm one of those that thought he should have gone on loan as didn't think he was getting games last season.

Very glad to have been proven very wrong.
 
Was thinking the same. Surely can’t be down to a lack of game time to put in such a lacklustre display, completely devoid of effort and after the shot cleared off the line he offered nothing. If he can’t impose himself on a league two side, and I mean no disrespect to Cheltenham who were excellent, then he needs to take a long hard look at himself.
We all know Danny Murphy is a twat, but even he gave Mendy shit................. "could have gone forward, there's 25 yards of space in front of him and he passes it back or sideways", I agreed but he's still a twat. .
 
I think, even withstanding his recent injury, that Laporte’s toys are still firmly out of the pram about now being 3rd choice central defender.

Agree 100% mate, & lets face it he is 3rd choice now!! lets see if he’s up for the fight?
Surely part of the managers job to rotate and keep them all happy unless he's suddenly terrible in training? I worry the dippers will come sniffing otherwise.
