Match Thread | West Ham vs Man City (07/08/22)

[HolisticJim]

Jack's played alright. Everyone has. You're not going to get a completely error free game first match of the season.

 

[kye1991]

A lot of stick for Grealish but he has cancello flying past him. He can’t relax as he knows the left back has gone awol.

More cancello the issue for me not Grealish

That can't be true because the only issue with grealish apparently is that he doesn't have a full back overlapping him

 

[Keeper!]

unfortunately, he wasn't joking, straight in trying to imply he was getting frustrated at players not playing him in earlier on some of his runs.

Desperate cunts and Micah full on Skyboy today.

lol if Micha said today was Sunday, I would check the calendar!

 

[madloaf]

No idea why they can't ask a ref to review a yellow? The rules suck

Wait, so people are saying VAR is shit?!

 

[CityBluez]

God knows what you're watching!

Same goes for you !

 

[Luck95]

Good first half

 

[BlueBanger]

I think you may want to go watch the Liverpool and United matches and then come back to us with your thoughts about our first 45 minutes of the season being a “poor showing”.

I dont give a fuck how they played its irrelevant to us. We offered next to nowt going forward...if it wasn't for haalands godlike pace that overcooked ball from gundo would have come to nothing too.

End of...you do you.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

A scouse **** at work has told me all week Haaland won't be able to handle the pace of the prem.

Monday can't come soon enough.

Enjoy your Monday Alf. Lol

 

[Dax777]

So has Mahrez lost his penalty duties :p

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I mean, he really has been poor

He just doing nothing...not taking on his man, his crosses aren't landing, he's just been soooo passive it's

Are you watching the actual game or just hitting refresh of the anti-Grealish circle jerk that is Blue Moon?

Grealish had a very good first half.Foden and Haaland working well too.Haaland will hopefully shut the dickheads up a bit now.

Kev anonymous and Cancelo more a liability than an asset,again.

Don’t think Foden has done much. One incredible touch and one decent cross. I’m sure he’ll improve in the second half and in coming games, he’s not had a proper preseason.

Otherwise wholeheartedly agree.

 

[SidJames]

Haaland's pace, power and technic is already world class, this kid is very, very special

100% agree.

Haaland isn't the problem,you can see he is quality.

Gundog had a through pass on for him and ignored him.

The team are so used to playing with the False 9,pushing the Ball out wide first.

Once they get used to playing it to him,he is going to be terrifying with that physicality and pace.He will score a shit load,and win a dozen penalties.

Ok, you’re beyond reasoning with.

 

[jimharri]

wow

Go on then, I'll bite. Tell me what you'd do with Cancelo. Please, educate me. He's been off his game today, and has picked up a yellow card. One more mistimed tackle and he's off.

 

[Magicpole]

Sorry son, but that’s Jota’s. Well in though to win the penalty and put it away like a boss, but, get your own celebration. That one is taken. ;)

 

[crossbar]

Jack doesn’t belong in the front three. For me he has always been a midfielder. I know he has to bench both Bernardo and Gundogan to get minutes but he doesn’t offer much on the wings. He doesn’t have the speed or the dribbling skills to beat fullbacks.

 

[bluemonkey71]

On the whole Cancelo has played pretty well including the shithouse lob pass.

 

[OntarioBlue]

He’s been good. I’m genuinely baffled by the hate.

Kev, Foden, Cancelo all been worse.

(Not tryna dig any of em out they haven’t been too bad)

It’s not hate. As @paulchapo said we are all City fans and we want him to do well, but his total contribution today (and in most of the games he has played for us) is a bunch of square and back passes. This is not the player we thought we were getting for £100m.

 

[bobmcfc]

80 % possession and not at home. Crazy stuff

I think you know its the latter
