kova is too slow in the middle clogging up play ,we need width asap
need to change in second half or it’s too late

Feeling it’s too late now……

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Rodri, Foden and De Bruyne surprisingly having no influence on this game thus far.

Doku and Akanji have to come on.

 

[1961_vintage]

So complacent.

 

[Stato]

Ortega superb no2, never a top keeper in a million.

John Stones WTF already in Germany?

Just not played enough has he and it shows today.
Akanji and Doku were warming up so looks like they will come on

 

[Don Karleone]

Looked a decent shout for a penalty early on from where I’m sitting. Was it?

Definite pen

 

[madloaf]

Well, I said we had huge bollocks last night. Let's hope theyve not shrivelled. Everything needs to change 2nd half.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Their second goal was well worked tbf. We’ve been incredibly slow and cautious. We’ve made it easy for them so far. Big second half needed here.

Well it was kind of well worked but our midfielders forgot to do the basics and track Fernandes to the edge of the box, leaving him free to pass l. It would have been a very basic job just to track him and that goal wouldn't happen

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Sometimes the way we do things confuses me immensely. We had 10 seconds to go in the half there, Gvardiol has the ball on the left. Haaland in the box. The only thing to do in that situation is stick it in the box. But Kev was insistent to Gvardiol to pass it backwards, so he does and then the ref just blows for HT. Why?

It boggles my mind.

The two times we had a decent cross from the left, Haaland is hiding behind the defender. He needs to make the run to the near post to give the winger a chance.

He very rarely does though.

They all look lethargic.

 

[jaiguruKun]

I would get Akanji and Doku on now

 

[HelloCity]

Sometimes you don’t realise everything someone brings to the table until they’re gone. Ederson’s relaxed attitude helps to stop panic at the back.

 

[PragueBlue]

That didn't go according to plan. Playing too much within ourselves and not really making life remotely difficult for them.

I'd bring Doku on to give us a bit more attacking width.

Move the ball more quickly, a bit more dynamism and we can still win this.

 

[Keeper!]

Disaster if he leaves.

Complete, kiss goodbye to titles if he goes

 

[shadygiz]

 

[Rory Bluelow]

I wasn’t happy with centre back pairing or Rodri plus Kova when I saw the team. Couldn’t have imagined we’d have been so bad though. Really disappointing as we’re so much better than them.

 

[kanovic]

Ortega superb no2, never a top keeper in a million.

John Stones WTF already in Germany?

We won the league towards the end bc of Ortega imo. He is a top keeper. He was left in no man’s land with Walker not even following his man

 

[willipp]

Stones is a mess.

He’s been all over the place. He keeps losing the ball and playing players into complete nightmares.

 

[i8rags]

Can’t argue with the score line, shocking first 45

 

[Jimmieblue]

Well that was hard to take but I’m still hopeful.

 

[GazM]

Stunned by that half. Too slow and ponderous. Think I'd have stuck with Dias and Akanji but that's Pep's call. Few having an off day but what a day for it to happen! Can't remember when we were last so poor. Too late to start praying?

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Fuck me City 15/2 to win 3-2 awful odds ..

That's because they know !!
