Not necessarily. We created just as much with Aguero leading the line. Actually I feel like we created MORE than we do now in the Sane-Aguero-Sterling days, it was relentless. Also, quite often our false 9 is not in the game, neither as a creator nor a finisher. There’d also be a load of chances created with a striker that weren’t possible without one.As much as we cry out for a striker, people should be conscious of the reduction of chances we create, hopefully a clinical striker negates that, but make no mistake, less dominance is inevitable in terms of creative opportunities..
You are a dickseconds???! at least 10 mins lad.. stop being happy clapper and realise pep has cost us AGAINN in champions league…
Yes it's an odd one. Dias for me has been dodgy for a while, Stones has definitely been the best centre back this year, Ake has done well and I would use him more. Cancelo of late has gone to pot too. Walker has been missed greatly but Zinchenko has done well despite the turmoil going on in his home country.Of course it is a contributing factor, but we’ve got a defence that regularly buckles when it is put under pressure. For the money spent it should be rock solid and it is definitely not!
Me tooI thought Ederson could have done more on their first goal
Their second was a touch fortunate, glancing off the player in front before the bullet header
Dias was naive on the pen, but I'm certain he got the ball
Bernardo was brilliant tonight as was Walker
We should have buried that tie in the first 20 minutes at home, but that's what you get in a cup competition
I'm logging off now till Sunday and I'm certainly staying away from any football until then
See you all later x
If only we had got a ‘bye’ in the semi’s like Liverpool
What does how long you've supported city have to do with anything at all? LolOh do fuck off soft lad I've been supporting us since 1968. I'm stabbing nobody, nor am I placing the blame all on him. He dies make the odd decent save but he also dithers on crosses and let's in some very saveable shots.
Seriously?? Not for me. Porto was on a different scale and I still don’t think I’ve got over itThis just hurts. Somehow more than the final last year.
How is it peps fault I’m intrigued?seconds???! at least 10 mins lad.. stop being happy clapper and realise pep has cost us AGAINN in champions league…
Agree. Eddy is amazing because you feel he does try ..all the time..just that he's not that good reallyJoe did fade badly and his technical weaknesses were mercilessly exploited. But...
On more than one occasion Joe actually won us games or kept us in games we could have been blown away in.
As a pure goalkeeper I don't think Eddy is that good. But I suppose we have to accept the compromise of him basically having to be as good as an outfield player with the ball at his feet.
Most of the time the balance works in our favour... occassionally not.
I'm not blaming Eddy for tonight, its more a general observation.
