Match Thread | Luton vs Man City (10/12/23)

Another example of the handicap system in the run up to that goal.
Bernardo's throw in was absolutely fine, why did the ref give the foul throw... I think we know the answer.

1-3 City.
Keep the faith

Let’s not get too dramatic blues. We are going through a shit spell, stick with the team. Let’s not forgot who we are and what we have achieved. We all have our own views on players but you can’t deny it’s been an amazing 12 season.

 

[Trickyblues]

Stones on for walker surely???

 

[Gray]

Top 4 even at risk looking at performance never mind the title ffs ..

As long as we get to 40pts ASAP.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Not sure I like Grealish body language, just seems to give up lately

I noticed that as well. First time I've ever seen it like this.

Is something going on behind the scenes?

 

[uwerosler28]

Everytime we have the ball wide the box is completely empty and that's not because Haaland isn't there , its because for some reason pep has told Alvarez not to be and carry on poncing about in midfield.

 

[M Gaudino]

If you thought 10 behind the ball was bad at 0-0... watch this

but it isnt 10 behind the ball. we have passed through their midfield 5 or 6 times and Foden Grealish, Bernie, Gvardiol are all running with the ball carrier and somehow we conspire to create nothing.

hopefully we keep playing the possession - they run their balls off and wont be able to keep it up

 

[Josh_D]

He's been far and away our best midfield/attacking player ffs

Agree with you. Found that post weird.

 

[B\connellblue]

He's a very young lad who's off the back of a world cup year and a mega amount of game time. Come on mate

Good job he hasn't a job that might involve a bit of real work.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Wonder what Kyle offers to this team ..

He knows the best brass

 

[Keeper!]

We look bang average all over the pitch. Everybody doing the basics badly.

Bang average what a crock.

We were superb against a team busting their guts on a small pitch, we lack goals then gave a soft goal in the last minute.

Attitude and commitment spot on.

 

[Bluewars]

Some of yhe best football we've played all season, just very little intent on scoring, so many shooting opportunities where we completely ignore the chance to shoot, can't fucking score if we don't shoot.

Grealish has been completely counter-productive to this game, every other player is moving the ball quickly 1-2 touch and we look like maybe breaking through then it comes to grealish who does the opposite and allows them back into shape and the entire build up is instantly dead.

Get Bobb on for grealish at halftime and I think we still win this.

Who tf is Bobb? what has he done to make you think he's better than Grealish, some 5'3 18yr old aint gonna do piss!

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

How? He has fluffed a shot over, nearly caught in possession around his own box and spent all game playing 5 years passes sideways to Rodri

Wow he's missed a shot so have the rest for fucksake

 

[SS2dan]

This team has no confidence. Does Kovacic ever make a forward pass .does Grealish ever beat a man .

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

We have played OK, overplayed it a bit too much going forward maybe. Luton scored with one of only the few times they have gone forward. Still got 45 mins to turn it around. The players need to show what they can do, we can't really be dropping points against these.

 

[Silva2-1]

Crap defending again, too much tippy tappy around the Luton box.

 

[Gundoggin]

Can we bring David Silva Yaya and Fernandinho on at half time please

 

[Frankie lad]

This isn’t how it feels to be City.
Confident we will pull this back.Lets face it we have to.

 

[colorado blue]

45 minutes to turn this run around. All the teams above us have been turning these situations into wins, we need to do the same. Wasn’t a bad half, in fact it was way better than last game and a half but we’re missing the final pass/shot. Alvarez needs a rest and Bobb needs a chance.
