Cmon city need s big second half. Liverpool got a home banker today

 

[Brewster's millions]

Put Kev on and start smashing some shots in from outside the box.

Sure he’d put a couple away.

 

[geek24601]

Huge 2nd half this imo! We need to keep the pressure on Liverpool and Arsenal…….Let’s be honest we really need be top when going to Anfield as our record there is atrocious!

 

[CΛL]

Give it a rest. this is your first time you’ve seen him.

He had about 2 months this season in midfield where every game he had a stinker, up front he’s very good.

He’s not a midfielder, never will be.

 

[clarion]

Stones would make much more impact than Akanji as inverted defender.

 

[citymad]

Because he`s too static today Haaland. Can tell he`s nowhere match fit yet.

What do you want him to do when he’s stuck in the box while we’re playing back and across the penalty area.he can only move so far.Feel sorry for him because our crossing has been abysmal and he’s up against a warrior in Tarkowski.

It shouldn't really come as a surprise to Pep how this is panning out . Higher tempo and a couple of changes needed.

 

[jamesha]

With an away match in Europe on Tuesday I can see why Pep picked this team but it is obvious that it is not working so hopefully changes will happen early in the second half.
I would replace Nunes with Bernado and let Foden come into the middle.
Hate these types of game - Everton are very good at anti-football of this type.

 

[Craig]

Alvarez and Nunes been poor. Still think it’s madness Alvarez starting ahead of say Grealish when there is no KDB and Haaland is playing. Taking Foden out of his best position to accommodate him is not the answer

 

[OntarioBlue]

Can someone explain to me what position Akanji is playing. Whatever it is he looks out of his depth

 

[Sky Blue]

In fairness it could be 6-0 and the same minges would be complaining .

Probably your best ever post tbf.

 

[uwerosler28]

Why have we pushed Foden wide to accommodate Nunes?, can understand it for Kev .

 

[mccity]

We could probably do with a bit more control in midfield

 

[JULES]

not the most exciting game this

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Nunes will never cut it here.

Yes at Wolves he looked a decent player. Because teams don't play as compact against Wolves, as they do when they face us.

He should be running the show against teams like Everton.

Cmon city need s big second half. Liverpool got a home banker today

What? Oh, banker!…:)

 

[SWPISHOME]

Horrible half. What puzzles me is why when Phil comes off a hattrick and motm a few days ago playing in the middle, today without KDB, he is stuck on the wing?

Agreed.

I said it a few pages back, Absolutely no need for Pep to move him into a wide area seen as he's been our brightest spark in a central area.

 

[Stato]

Why is Akanji playing in the middle instead of the Stones?

They both are

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Weird team and a really poor half.

Don’t know what Pep or half the forum see in Akanji. He’s fucking rubbish.

Alvarez and Nunes not right in that midfield. Changes needed at the half I think.

 

[RayCTID]

Come on City!!
