Match Thread | Man City vs Brighton (20/04/22)

[bondsman]

One shot on target not good enough. They look more likely to score. We are dependent on KDB doing something otherwise our attacking play is ponderous one pace and predictable. Can’t believe we haven’t got Jesus down middle or Delap. There are balls being idly knocked into the box that a CF would attack. I get Delap is untried but he must have a strikers instinct at least.

 

[jrb]

The title is slowly ebbing away.

This has got 0-0 all over it.

 

[Ashleymcduff]

You’ve posted shit for years fella. I’d have you fucked off tbh.

So your saying he’s been good in the last 2 months ?? No chance.

 

[bluemoon32]

Team has no pace

Yep

 

[Big Dave Watson]

Told you. Its 'their turn'.

 

[MCFC1993]

It's the lack of pace that's killing us.

Nobody wants to make a run. If we're to do anything this season, Sterling and Jesus might be our most important players.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Hard watch this. Midfield has disappeared, creating nothing. Everything having to revolve around Stones (who has been brilliant), Laporte and Ake. Hard to see where goals are going to come from if not KDB.

 

[argyle]

Maybe but their front 3 seem to
Find a way though

Yes because they don't have to find their way through all 11 men around the box.

 

[Blueknows]

Spurs away, 18 shots lost
Saints home 16 shots drew
Palace home 14 shots lost
Liverpool away 12 shots (double Liverpool) drew
Wolves home 24 shots, won with a dodgy penalty
Southampton away, 20 shots drew
Spuds home, 21 shots lost
Palace away 19 shots, drew
Liverpool home 11 shots double Liverpool) drew....


Our finishing is criminal.....

Haaland and Alvares will sort that out

 

[Gray]

Hope Pep sorts this out, we really can’t afford to keep missing hatfuls of chances every week..
Very frustrating for us and it must be to the team too… We need to put these fuckers away pronto ..

If only we had created a hat full of chances.

 

[Ken92]

Next season we need Haaland,

Then we need a pacy forward/winger as we never replaced Sane or Torres.

Also need a defensive midfielder and a left or right back.

However the club tends to hope Pep can work miracles so I expect Haaland and then just an average midfielder in case Rodri doesn't play.

We definetly need pace

 

[Blue and true]

I'm confident we'll get the goal, because we simply need to. But I swear to Christ if I hear the term "false 9" next season I won't be responsible for my actions.

 

[K-Bo]

Zero risks taken by anyone but Kevin, the attacking football is sooo stale

 

[WorthlessPoster]

Our squad needs a major freshening up close season.

Gaby & Gundo both out?

 

[vin]

Dias for Ake. Stones to RB and Cancelo to LB.

Would like to see jesus on

 

[Rolo]

We just aren't clinical enough. Liverpool would have been 2 up. The gift from Sanchez to Mahrez and Gundo's chance. Need to up the tempo second half, all to slow.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

I thought we completely outplayed them. Just the usual wastefulness keeping it level.

De Bruyne is looking very good

Come off it, that is not outplaying, it’s way below par

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Team has no pace

People argue we don’t play to accommodate pace but that is bullshit, you can still be technically good and be quick. We’ve got nothing in behind.
