Match Thread | Man City vs Man Utd (07/03/21)

[Esteban de la Sexface]

He's always off the pace for a bit after returning from injury.

Never like this though. He's been woeful

 

[FantasyIreland]

Foden on for Sterling.

Bernardo on for KDB.

What we should have started with......who'd have thought??

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Anyone else take a draw now? I would. Phil for raz PLEASE pep!!!

I would.

 

[Badensbluemoon]

Sterling and Jesus out, Foden and Kun in

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

KDB is our weakest link. Last 3 games he has made more attacks for the opposition than us.

Lazy passes, jogging around, waving his hands in frustration. Has the aurora of Billy big Bollocks about him at the moment. And it is pissing me right off.

But he is capable of playing a killer pass and changing the game.

In reality he’s just not fully fit.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

He just needs the final movement to be in the right place. He reads the game better than anyone.

Totally discounting the press all together....

 

[Blue Potato]

Early subs please if we don’t look like scoring in the first 10-15 mins, Bernardo and Foden can make a difference. Last 25 mins of the first half we looked good, we know exactly what they’re going to do second half so keep up the pressure lads and we can win this

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

11 points clear even if we lose, get a grip.

U happy to lose to united?

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

How have United become our bogey team? We were terrible for 15 minutes, but we've settled in and we look capable. We also look the most vulnerable on the counterattack than we have for a while, but they haven't created much. If Kev doesn't settle get Bernie on, and I think there is room for Foden as well.

 

[SidJames]

Don't think they work well together when Cancelo also plays in midfield

Think you are right.

Gundogan does a better job of KDB job than KDB does over 90 minutes.

Push Gundogan in to Kdb role.

Bring on Bernado.

Maybe bring on Phil for Mahrez.

 

[mccity]

You'd think with all the drab scorelines we've had at HT that lead to comfortable wins lately people would give this team a bit of a chance...

 

[OntarioBlue]

United striker was well covered before the pen, there was no reason for Jesus to become that clumsy. Absolute huge mistake especially from a striker.

A mistake like this can end our CL this season we need to much more careful...

Having seen the replay you can see that Jesus is trying to make up for his mistake in giving the ball away earlier. You can’t fault the effort but he really had no business putting in that tackle.

 

[Keeper!]

Pep has a mental block with these, always seems to overthink it

often does against poor sides and managers

 

[Kippax77]

They'll hit us for a 2nd before Pep has anyone warming up from the bench

 

[iwasthere1968]

He's always off the pace for a bit after returning from injury.

No excuses if he's not on his game he shouldn't play. He's been bad for weeks too sloppy.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Once watched Peps Barca put 6 past Getafe in the second half. It's not asking too much is it...??

 

[Airbags Optional]

Seeing those replays again I am not even sure that was a pen (blue tinted I know, but he stops and initiates that contact)

 

[Bez]

Next goal is critical...Come on City. Big 45 mins needed...

 

[Beanhead]

This

I don’t think it was TBF. The ball bobbles through a crowd before. which tells you the player didn’t have control of the ball. So no pen for me.
