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

[Chi-town blues]

We'll win this 5-3

why not 6-2?

 

[Fordyboy46]

The only positive I can take is that it shouldn't/couldn't get any worse.

Ha

 

[eversince 76]

END OF RANTS.
NEXT 45 MIN. COME ON!

 

[01cravend]

Deserved sub off, assuming he isn't injured, glad Pep isn't blind to how shite he's been

 

[argyle]

No Doku for Grealish?

In ideal situation Rodri should be off to rest too

 

[Hertzblue]

Ortega didn’t cover himself in glory either - first one particularly was saveable . Looked like he was on the training pitch for both

 

[I'm Blue]

‘Pride in Battle’

 

[Bigga]

I think Rosri and Akanji have been fine. Dias is a bit rattled. And Leipzig has pounced when available. Feels like a game against Wolves or something.


Hopefully we can play better and pull this off.

At this point, I see a 2-2 at best. But deep down im uneasy with what I feel

They need a triangular mid for the tandem and outlet.

That's why Alvarez has been good but not scoring when he works dropping in.

 

[eyalluvitt]

guess this is what happens when you send out a team to just fulfil a fixture. Half arsed and in the shit. Ake on.

Same for them, but they seem a bit more at it, maybe they have a bigger squad

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Game needs Doku.

 

[jimharri]

I am, he might feel he can rest a few

Isn't that what they've been doing for the last three games?

 

[Blue Til Death]

Bring back Spencer Prior

May as well, we’ve got a few Frank Spencer’s in defence tonight ..

 

[super_city_si]

Shoukd switch bernardo and foden.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Whatever changes in terms of personnel (surely at least three?), we have to change the shape. So easy for them to get in the spaces either side of Rodri. Walker and Gvardiol both a complete waste of time stood out wide.

It’s not worked for the last 3 games . Stubbornness from Pep.

 

[leithblue]

Oh and Darke and Hoddle - pair of cunts

Must be Mandela effect but I was sure Hoddle had died?

 

[Josh_D]

Good read by Ake

 

[deano ou812]

Ffs get the three statues of Bell,Lee and Summerbee on ..

 

[jimharri]

How many times has Dias been subbed off this early for (presumably) non injury reasons?

 

[eyalluvitt]

Does Darke know we are already through or does he think it’s a knock out game?

 

[Kamaro011]

Who knew we had so many spoilt little bitches in our fanbase? It's ugly.

Those lads out there tonight ran through walls last season to give us the best month in our City-supporting lives and achieved more than any City team in history. Have we all forgotten what happened in May and June?

We all acknowledged over the summer that it would be hard to maintain those same levels this season, and yet here we are - 2nd in the league, well in the title race, and comfortably through to the Champions League knockouts.

But this thread is full of people losing the fucking plot. No we've not been our usual selves for a bit now but so fucking what? We've seen time and time again that Pep and the boys can work it out.

It's one thing to criticise a bad performance but some of the shite being thrown at Akanji, Dias, Grealish, Rodri, Haaland, etc. is enough to make you want to scrape your brain out with a spoon.

Get a bit of perspective for god sake.

I can't imagine the fanbase reaction when we are going truly shit period after Pep left and standard of playing will drop.
