Hed get carded though.

He wouldn’t. He’s done it in plenty of other games.

Then every now and again he has a mard arse performance like Everton at home, Forest away and the first half today where he’s doing the opposite to what he normally thrives off because someone’s being as physical with him as he usually is with everyone else.

 

[MadchesterCity]

TV time slot away from home against a game raising team?

Absolutely detest these games, zero confidence

I guess I was being hopeful

 

[TrentGrisham]

Walker had a nice cross in the box we wasted

and that's about it... in games like this where we only have to defend the odd counter I wish Rico was trusted as he gives us something in the attacking third.

 

[Akiva]

Prob won’t go down well but Sergio was better than haaland and was way more likeable. What I’d do to have him back in his prime

He's 23 and just broke the all time top flight English scoring record FFS.

Can't believe our own lot are joining in with the rags and dippers to rubbish our treble winning stars like Erling and Jack. Bore off with this shit and support the lads.

 

[paulchapo]

I'd fetch the Belgian kid on. Grealish is offering no threat, we need some trickery. Just make sure somebody is behind him for if he loses it.

[MarsLlama]

I don't think I've ever seen a PL team offer so little threat against us - think they only got near our box twice. We should find a way through here, hopefully with Doku and/or Foden given plenty of minutes to make an impact.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

I'd get foden on personally

 

[LWashington]

Jack needs to play like he's making love to a beautiful lady...

Get in the box and shoot in seconds.

He prefers side entry.

He needs to get round the back and swing his balls in.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Not sure what most of you have been watching.

We played really well that half. Absolutely controlled the game and should be at least 2-0 up.

That said, we can’t be fucking about here, so I’d be getting Phil and Doku on if not scored by 60 mins.

 

[Daz_Blue]

Foden on for Pass Back Jack

In terms of playing an opposing team in the Premier League, Sheff Utd’s performance so far is probably the most abject I’ve seen in years.

They might be 0-0 thanks to getting extremely lucky but they’ve done absolutely nothing but hug and grapple us in defence and throw themselves to the ground on the 2-3 occasions they got past the halfway line. I’d be embarrassed. 0% action in our third at one point in the game.

Look at the stats they’re pathetic

If there’s any justice then we’ll smash three or four past them in the second half which will be no more than they deserve.

Somehow they got a standing ovation for parking the bus hahaha. I guess that's what our level has become where teams are extremely happy to just not concede against us

 

[bugsyblue]

Foden not 100% so depends upon that, get Doku on for sure, especially as they get tired

Ah okay is that why he’s on the bench? Didn’t realise he has a niggle

 

[MadchesterCity]

I’d rip your arm off now for a 1v0 win, suspect we’ll get no favours from the refs.

 

[Burtonblue]

Someone needs to tell the ref this isn’t a rugby match
The cunts are getting away with murder in their box

 

[I'm Blue]

If you mute your TV'S you can hear Pep shouting lol

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Erling needs to play his game and not get wond up. If they foul him it will be given as one.

They are resorting to pull and wrestling him to the ground

He should have had at least one penalty. One was debatable, the other quite clear.

 

[citytill1die84]

Fucking come on City

 

[DMA's]

…not sure what you are watching. There were two obvious fouls in the box: one on Haaland and one on Ake. He is letting them manhandle our players all over.

He gave the penalty because it was an egregiously obvious one.

The tackle on Grealish was borderline red and it wasn’t the first poor one from Baldock.

He has been trying to even the matchup and I expect him to continue with that in the second half.

Guess we will agree to disagree. Think the ref has done well

Mediocre at best, looks l8ke 5he players are not giving the opposition much respect
