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

[Blu1]

They will go for the 2nd in the first 5 mins then just sit off & wait for the break.

if we don’t score early this might be a bad day blues

we could still easily win this 4-1. Score early & go at them city

 

[Blue Maverick]

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.

Foden for Sterling

 

[deano ou812]

Interesting since kdb came back against west ham and wolves we’ve looked a lot more ropey at the back and as a team don’t look as smooth while also conceding in those two,the balance of the team looks off now since to accommodate kdb but that’s up to pep to solve ..

 

[domalino]

It is rare that we win games from losing positions at half time so I can see why the concern is there. I personally don’t think we are playing that badly but we are up against it now. They can defend in these big games as their 0-0 results show. We need to be a bit more creative. Personally I would hook Jesus and get Foden on.

The only reason its rare is because we rarely go behind.

You cant win from behind when you've not gone behind in the last 30 odd games.

I will write this now , no changes

 

[Bald fraud]

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...

Lucky it happened today then it won’t happen again

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Piss poor,I posted I think in pre match thread that get the feeling pep doesn’t want to disrespect the rags and baconface,this team and previous under pep has never put these shithouses to the sword which we are more than capable of,as for that half I’d hook kdb and sterling and bring on foden and Bernardo..

Pep's a rag in disguise has to be the funniest take I've seen on here in a while.

Coincidence that United fan raheem sterling always drops a stinker against them...

 

[iwasthere1968]

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

Capable of sloppy passes in midfield too often.

 

[dave_blue12]

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

We know he's capable but we were definitely playing better without him.

Right now he's delivering little and costing a lot.

Everyone should be earning their place and he isn't

 

[flook]

give it 10 then foden for raz and bernie for kev

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Strong bench to draw on and hopefully the changes won’t be too long

 

[mcfc_ms]

We have always played better against these with a false 9, so no idea why we always revert back to inverted wingers where Sterling just sits in the right backs pocket.

We are really missing the creativity and energy of Foden and Bernardo. I would take Jesus off for Bernardo and put Kev in the middle. Then Foden on for Sterling or Mahrez (although Mahrez has been decent enough)

 

[nellyonthewing]

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

Correct we start off slower than my gran trying to get on a bike . They will come out quick nick one then sit back. Does pep actually think what ole might do?

 

[christened at st marks]

No changes until 75mins

 

[plongo]

KDB would be far more effective playing for them, he just (at the moment suit our system - based on possession) doesn't work for us

Of all the silly posts in this thread...

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

Was hoping for 1-1 going on, have been relatively chilled knowing we will move through the gears but fuck 45min at one down, don't think I've got enough booze. Pace of their wingers worries me on the break, I'd have Bernie 'Coffee' Silva on for KDB and let Gundog do his thing. Kev just doesn't look fit, although he can turn a game with one pass. Raz has to get the better of Wan Bissaka, if it was a contest WB would be winning. We'll turn it around but it will go to the wire long before I finish this bottle of vino :(

Mahrez is giving Shaw a fight which is more than be said for Sterling and Wan Bisaka. I dont expect to see any changes yet but if nothing changes Sterling has to come off.

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

Exacly,thats a bollocks way of thinking.

Yeah we could be a million fucking points ahead and i’d still be pissed at losing to em
