Crying out for foden

 

[Keeper!]

Goal incoming. Haaland will be a bull coming out in the second half.

He needs to calm the fuck down and concentrate on playing

 

[Gray]

Playing without our biggest asset for two games should not be underestimated.

It is going to be a lot more than two games, that is the worry.

 

[Paul1970]

The fact they haven’t conceded is about 90% luck and 10% judgment. They might hang on all game but it doesn’t change the fact this is the performance of relegation fodder. Totally incapable of actually playing the game.

They will be down at the bottom come may regardless of if they get somthing Today

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

As soon as the team picked up the pace of the passing, we got a penalty immediately. Missed it but meh, it happens. More slick, first time passing required, would like to see Grealish TAKE HIS FUCKING MAN ON AND DRIBBLE PAST HIM, for once. Other than that maybe one goal is enough for us today.

Which is it?
Take your man on and dribble past him or quick one touch passing ?

I think Jack needs to add more one touch pass and move to his game.

 

[Streetsweeper]

Turned on to see a football match, so why is one team playing rugby league?

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Controlled performance but lacking that edge of risk taking, save for a few decent moves.

People are only complaining because of an unlucky penalty miss and a good save from Alvarez.

They will tire, we need to ratchet up the tempo a bit, make something happen rather than expect it to happen.

Might be a good day to introduce the ‘chaos’ of Doku.

 

[JDV]

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

Bit of an unfair comparison comparing with a prime Aguero considering Haaland is not even close to his prime. Need to compare them at the same age.

COME ON BLUEBOYS

Sort yerselves out

Favours like Arsenal and rags got yesterday

Arsenal’s penalty was a stonewaller, the Fulham lad getting sent off was deserved n’all.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

I'm not surprised we're playing well below our level when we've changed the treble winning system completely. By necessity, because we have a dozen fit senior players.

Also a poor transfer window so far no kdb or Gundo replacement

 

[paulchapo]

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

To be fair they've just been promoted and are playing the champions of Europe and treble winners, we'd be exactly the same in their position.

incredible;D once again, 84%, 12 shots to none. Few sitters, including penalty. Very good away PL performance.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Got a 1-0 defeat written all over that… hopefully we can work it out!

Have faith.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

First 30 seconds Sheff Utd player gets into our half and immediately throws himself to the ground.

It’s really embarrassing and not subtle.

short memories on here

 

[Blueknows]

What's sky's obsession with haalands touches per minute /game ffs

 

[deano ou812]

Sky desperate to tell us halland has only had so many touches I couldn’t give a fuck about touches as long as we win and he scores..

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Wish they'd calm down with their "how many touches has Haaland had" bullshit.

How many has Ederson had?

 

[Tuearts right boot]

PEople are criticizing Grealish (fairly) for the lack of creation, but what has Bernardo done in the entire match?

Given me an erection !!!
