Should have gone in the summer

Toothless, hopefully Pep makes some changes HT

Yes its because we are piss easy to counter against. Liverrpool aren't. I'd sit back all day against us. Probably encourage a corner ir two tbf and fire it up the pitch. Im afraid we are a slow team and the game is about lightening pace and power now.

The game has obviously changed a lot since May last year.

They had three chances against Liverpool in the first similar to the ones against us this half.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Shit first half

 

[mancityscot]

17 shots ffs. Liverpool or Arsenal would have had 5 by now

Liverpool actually are also piss easy to counter against

So boring to watch, no injection of pace and passes just being rolled to each other.

We moan that teams play 11 men behind the ball, but we literally do everything we can to ensure they get chance to get all their men back with the speed of our play.

Could be a struggle this 2nd half and tbh it wouldn't surprise me if they knicked a goal.

I think I’ve had enough of Walker playing RW. He was at his best last season staying back to help out on counters. Peps shoe horning him into the team every week and it’s crippling us.

And made captain

 

[TinFoilHat]

Fuck me walker

Not sure Kyle fancies you.

 

[Iassel]

Fuck off you Scouse loving ****.

Dipper England: Do that again and it's a penalty...

Brentford **** does it again. Dipper ignores it.

Scouse **** ref!

In all seriousness….are you ok mentally?

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

It's amazing to me that we are so bad at finishing now, particularly with the best striker in the world up front. I'd like to see us bounce back and put in about 5 after the half, but I'm expecting Brentford to get a crappy breakaway goal and go up 1-0 and really put the pressure on us.

 

[super_city_si]

Cancelo is knob but hed be brilliant in walkers role. walker is the worst ’attacking’ full back in the league

 

[madloaf]

Walker can’t cross.

Alvarez can’t do much. Him off asap for KDB before it turns into a last ten minute stress fest.

Walker should be banned from doing anything remotely attacking other than a decoy run

 

[OrigamiNinja]

A typical 1st half half from us these days. A couple of years ago I would go into home games thinking we will be 3 up after 20 mins. Those days are long gone. It’s the same slow, turgid garbage week in, week out.

Only City could have the deadliest striker on the planet and have the ammunition provided by Kyle Fucking Walker.

 

[bellsouth]

Just fast forward to when Kev gets on please

 

[Josh_D]

First 25 mins we were absolutely shit. Been better since then.

Bernando and Bobb simply have to score those chances. Absolute fucking sitters both of them.

Akanji been good.

It was a good goal line clearance by the defender. That ball was going straight in without a good read on it. Bernardo’s I agree.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Could be fun and games again this if Brentford pinch the 1st goal

 

[fuskarn]

alvarez in midfield will continue until morale improves lads

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Does Flekken have two good games a season then?

Yes. Against City!
