Match Thread | Man City vs. Brentford (20/02/24)

[HaalandEffect]

Too many around the box for Haaland to score

 

[cookster]

Dippers 15 shots against Brentford at the weekend, 4 goals.
City 17, in one half, ZERO.

Anyone have the stats re the percentage of our goals at home that are scored in the second half, when we seem to favour attacking the family stand end of the ground?

 

[Iassel]

I’m afraid we are seeing the end of our title challenge tonight and it’s all on pep .

Jesus. Christ.

One of Alvarez or Haaland off please

I'd take Haaland off for De Bruyne early 2nd half.

 

[Jesus2020]

Doesn't help when these teams sit back, 11 men behind the ball, looking for a counter. Anti-football. Suppose that's the price of being good but they don't do it just through fear, they get a buzz from not being beaten by us so they give a lot of effort - effort they wouldn't give even if it meant taking points in a part of the table where it actually mattered to them.

How do you combat that?

We must have ditched the rondos and started playing 5 touch

Madness.

I loved the triangles, now it more dribbing then turning back but we did have silva and it was a joy.

Guaranteed same 11 come out for second half. Second half will be much the same.

De Bruyne on at 70 mins. Tempo raises, Forwards miss gilt edge chances and it ends nil nil.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

He had the whole goal to hit but hit it straight at their guy.

It was absolutely bobbins mate.

Agree. Got to lift it there. It was a bad miss but Bernado’s was a shocker.

 

[Blu1]

This could finish 4-0 or 0-1.

I really couldn’t say if we will win it :-(

Where’s the fast attacking city goal machine gone
