Match Thread | Man City vs. RB Leipzig (28/11/23)

[Gibblue]

Dias is having a poor season by his very high standards.
I think we are a Stones and a De Bruyne away from our usual selves.

 

[I'm Blue]

So far we’re playing like a team that’s already qualified.
The will to win will kick in soon.

 

[B\connellblue]

Not exactly peppering them here.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Yeah something feels off with the boys. Let's hope we can hold out until HT.

 

[Blu1]

Rodri missing a midfield partner.

100%

 

[SamBlue]

Winter has come. And to think our second halves are much worse this season.

 

[Fordyboy46]

P

Pass back Jack nearly every game..

Doku every day of the week now

 

[Ashton Moss Messi]

Akanj not looking healthy if you ask me

Actually I still haven’t got my voice back from Saturday yet so it was more a whispered shout than a normal shout. ;-) :-) *lol*
The doctor at the hospital asked me if I had a cold! :-).

 

[jimharri]

Were still top even with a loss so doesn't really matter. Spurs the bigger game sunday

Yes; in the grand scheme of things, tonight doesn't really matter all that much (apart from topping the group by avoiding defeat and consequently being able to put out a B team in Belgrade for the final group game). It's all about momentum though, isn't it? Which we don't really have at the moment. Two consecutive draws.

 

[Chi-town blues]

rico needs to read the space a bit more

 

[Gorbachev]

Akanji having an awful game

 

[p.taker]

get up Jack

 

[wolviedinho]

Not great but let’s keep perspective. Last season took some effort and this season we have suffered a lot of injuries.

Everyone is trying but mistakes can happen and form will drop from time to time.

This team is crying out for a Dave silva type of player. Really miss his control and particular skill set. Gundo came close to filling that role from time to time.

 

[Blu1]

Our game plan a bit obvious this season. lack of passing direct to haaland is just bizarre & no doku = no energy.

We just look lazy

 

[platty7]

Shit that jack

 

[TrentGrisham]

Ouch. Took a knee to the head.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Were playing so awful, its almost absurd to watch

I don’t think we are really awful though we are slow to break out of their press. But we have to score when we get open opportunities (like Dias’) and outnumbered breaks (like against Liverpool) and cut backs from the wings to open guys mid-box (also against Liverpool).

 

[nellyonthewing]

Really there is only Doku that is direct . Everything is so predictable.

 

[brettplane]

Jack needs to pass the ball sooner. Constantly running inside looking for a foul all the time. Got away with that one this time
