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

[The Nature Boy]

Brentford are the worst footballing side in the league, they are tedious to watch

 

[geek24601]

This is a hard, hard watch. Let’s hope we can somehow make the breakthrough!

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Are the players stupid? What was the need for a quick free kick?

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

When ferguson said all them years ago about players cheating their manager, he was right. Brentford didn't play like this vs Liverpool on Saturday. Chelsea didn't play on Saturday gone like they did vs Liverpool a couple weeks ago.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

This is shit

 

[Semper aggressus]

It's got to the point that Dias is being out muscled in every game.

He needs to get in the gym more, make himself a beast.

 

[NptonBlue89!]

We always just wanting them to score first? We might as well kick it in our own net and be done with it

 

[Josh_D]

Foden loses that ball and was the 8th City player to get back near our box to defend it. Literally jogged back despite them momentarily having 5 on 3.

As we’ve seen in weeks, he tracks back. As the poster who responded to you said, probably tactical.

We saw just now as there was an out ball to Phil but Walker couldn’t make the pass

 

[blueparsman]

We punt it out to no one.

 

[bluemoon32]

Remember when we used to get desperate in games sometimes and just launched pointless crosses about a foot above Kun's head?

Where are those crosses now?

But Haaland is shit in the air

 

[Jesus2020]

Nahhh just the right tactics.. couldnt do that v pool as they are more aggressive getting the ball back in their third so pressure em like fk. They can do that as they have more legs to recover. We dont so we cant press like that any more. Equals stalemate

Ah ok, fair point.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Do we ever cross to haaland ???

Wouldn't score if it was towards his head anyway.

 

[Blu1]

Pep wake the Fook up

 

[Lauz9888]

We're vulnerable on the break. We have too many players too far forward.

 

[chris85mcfc]

This is absolutely shite

 

[Gigant]

Kev seems to be injured

 

[wolviedinho]

Get the ball up to Haaland fast ffs.

 

[Iassel]

What happened to the PiGMOL objective to 'jump' on time wasting?

It lasted about 3 weeks and then the tv companies complained that games were having 10 mins stoppage time in each half.

 

[Mentis]

Why aren't we leaving anyone up top on their free kicks? That's how Liverpool counters, plus Brentford would have to leave 2 back

 

[deano ou812]

Think the desire is still there I reckon there’s a lot of mental tiredness in the squad with what was achieved last season ..
