Match Thread | Young Boys vs Man City (25/10/23)

Finish like this against the Rags and they'll do us on the counter

 

[Blu1]

Shit pitch but city are so way off it in the attacking dept. We just don’t play to haalands style & ability. I would like to see how we play with just Alvarez up top. Sadly I think we would create much more

 

[Fordyboy46]

Decent passing considering this shitty pitch, just nobody to finish

 

[buckshot]

They really don't look bad, it's just that their keeper is playing out of his mind

 

[Don Karleone]

Playing well. Should be well in front though.

 

[uwerosler28]

Our attack is as blunt as it’s ever been under Pep. On a par with his first season in terms of our xG

What is XG?? And how is it measured??

 

[East Level 2]

It's just a pity "playing well" doesn't have to include finishing chances.

 

[Gabriel]

If we do score from such a corner, I suspect it’ll be ruled out for blocking.

 

[paulchapo]

He's been a huge miss, still is

I'm sure we must have thought Bellingham was nailed on so we weren't too worried in Gundo going.

 

[Trickyblues]

Despite the score I think we’ve been good.
Jack looking lively

 

[Ric]

The pitch and weather are making things difficult, but we’re playing ok. Just need to start taking our chances. Grealish looking decent, would prefer to see him back on the left though.

 

[WestGorton]

Don't lose as we have home games against Leipzig and these to go. Obviously should be winning easily. We don't score enough this season.

 

[city saint]

good practice for sunday playing against a shit but lucky team

 

[Brewster's millions]

Put Foden on the right, Grealish in the middle and take Kovacic off.

Apart from Kovacic everyone is playing ok; we just need a spark to get the first goal.

 

[oldius]

Decent half. Pitch an issue. Shame Doku slipped for his chance. Carry on like this and we'll win.

 

[deano ou812]

We are playing alright,creating chances and just a bit unfortunate with a couple of them or we’d be well ahead,I’m more concerned about players getting injured on that pitch than the result to be fair .

 

[woody1968]

Wasteful so far especially up top

Nunes been poor for me

Agreed-very poor. Loses the ball far to easily.

 

[mexico1970]

No cutbacks Haaland having to feed from scraps from shit balls mainly thrown in.

 

[M Gaudino]

i like the Nunes tight turn he does on the outside with his only foot. seems to wrong foot the opponent and gets his space.

Lewis and the rest of the midfield
playing well. All good. Except no goals and we all know the Boys will get the first goal

 

[Tricky_Trev]

What is XG?? And how is it measured??

Honestly just type those exact words into google as it would explain it way better than I can :)
