Match Thread | Man City vs RB Leipzig (16/09/21)

Ian Darke is a fucking nonce

 

[Blu1]

KDB is so good, yet we seem to not have the same level as a team when he plays. Could be due to defence being changed and no Gundogan though.

We really need a more mobile unit in midfield to fit Kev in for me. a fit fern or Kante type player. Kev has a free role which leaves lots of gaps. Luckily Kev creates more than others but our mid definitely looks light when Kev plays in a crazy way

 

[cityboy1]

just think it stifles him for whatever reason. His best season 18/19 was without Kev.

His best position is the kevs that's probably why he doesn't like the left midfield at all.

I understand why Pep is not happy xD.

own goal, goal after a corner & penalty goal.

leipzig plays with more eager and passion, than City, but fortunately 3 goals to One. And even if I sounded a bit „harsh“ it‘s a deserved lead just by comparing the relevant stats

"Fortunately"?

 

[Utter bobbins]

Very poor half I thought. Can’t play great every game. Ake playing well as is Cancelo.
Great to have a a tribute to City legend Steve Nichol during the game.

Thought it was 3-1 to City

 

[Airbags Optional]

We scored from a corner and a pen, wonders never cease!

 

[kun]

Yeah not even close bollocks. Stop acting like City has had some crazy chances to score.

Stop acting like Leipzig did

Kev having a blinder

 

[maurizio]

Cancelo with Mahrez not great defending. Fantastic going forward mind. We were so half hearted with challenges before they scored too. Not surprised they scored, it seemed to be coming for a while. Some fantastic play from our midfield. If only we had a world class centre forward. I'll take 3 - 1 at this point, probably a fair score.

 

[Metal Biker]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand relax

 

[mccity]

Despite my previous post, there's an argument to keeping the team as it is. They look dangerous on the counter but then again we could easily score more than them either way.

 

[Eoiyflem]

Didn’t even jump and a yard of the goal scorer.

The ball went high over his head to the far post for the winger coming in. if anyone gets any blame it's zinchenko. How you can blame Ake for that is laughable.

 

[M Gaudino]

are we ever the main game on bt sport? absolute B team on the punditry.

Consider it a blessing

 

[Phil1]

Poor first 45. Result is all that matters at this stage.

 

[bert38]

Very disjointed performance. Score flatters us somewhat. They are poor at the back. Clear pen. Ref shite.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

I'm not calling for a red, but by the laws of the game...

"Where a player denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by a handball offence the player is sent off wherever the offence occurs."

 

[Revolver]

Thought it was 3-1 to City

Very poor probably a bit harsh to be fair but I don’t think we are playing great. But as you say 3-1 City.

 

[old blue]

Cric Free gone awol tonight.

They've given us trouble a bit but Leipzig will give PSG fits with their energy and zeal. Can't wait to see that.
