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

[west didsblue]

Just rewound to the Sterling incident. Looked like a penalty to me.

 

[King Jay]

Gundogan, Mahrez and Stones are playing well. Our #7 is nonexistent once again.

 

[Claytop]

Take a point now?

 

[Mancity1980]

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.

It wouldn’t matter if Jesus hadn’t gave that pen away. I would have taken nil nil at half time.

 

[Blu1]

if he wasn't fit, he wouldn't be playing. stop excusing his appalling performances by saying he isn't fit, he's probably fitter than anyone else on that pitch due to the rest he's had.

He looks much slower than he did before he was injured so I can only say he doesn’t look fit

 

[remember arthur mann]

GPC running the show, least Roberto owned him.

 

[B\connellblue]

In reality he’s just not fully fit.

You would hope that was the case but it's beginning to look like his star is on the wane.

 

[mosssideblue]

Come on Boys

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.

Why Mahrez

Of all the silly posts in this thread...

I don’t think he does it on purpose but look at how he plays vs Liverpool. Reckon it just gets to him

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

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

He shouldn’t be on from the start until he’s ready to go full tilt for at least 70 minutes.
Certainly not in a game like this.
We really miss Bernardo.

People saying Sterling really struggles against United like he is ripping it up every other week. This is his level most weekends, but because the rest of the side pull us through, he gets a free pass. When things don’t go well...”oh Raz shouldn’t play against United”. When will people wake up to it?

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

Peps biggest weakness (not that he has many) is his stubborness and seldom makes half time changes.
If we carry on with this by the hour then its no good waiting for the final 10 minutes to make his first lot of subs.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Kev stank the place out for the first 30 minutes but *hopefully* is getting back into it.

That said I think we've been playing worse since his comeback. He upsets the balance we had in the team previously.

 

[plongo]

No changes until 75mins

Pep's Achilles heel

 

[mccity]

I thought De Bruyne really livened up as the half went on. Here's hoping to a strong 2nd half.

 

[Don Karleone]

Tbf gundog us not hiding, he's trying to force it. KDB is killing us.

Has to be one or the other, not both.

 

[Mancity1980]

Take a point now?

Ask me in the 89th minute!

 

[jollylescott]

Get Bernie on!

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I’d bring Foden on for Jesus.

Sterling would be more dangerous centrally.

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

Calm your tits Blues. Remember the abomination of a first half we had against the Dippers ? Turned that around quite nicely and we can do the same here. COYB.
