Match Thread | Man City vs. Inter Milan (18/09/24)

Gundogan for KDB and moving Bernardo to play alongside Grealish on the left would improve the flow.

 

[paulchapo]

We need more goal threat from somebody aside from Haaland. Time for Phil?

 

[Really_here]

Played them once in history haven't we?

Yup - but also twice in friendlies

 

[Eccles Blue]

Ooops it’s my fault. I’m not wearing my City scarf. I forgot. We’ll be ok in second half I’ll have it on. ;-) :-)

 

[dromoreblue]

Cmon City

 

[striver]

Id sub Kev out for Gundo.

get phil in, he needs minutes, there isn't a single forward in that midfield then

 

[lonestay]

We need to start managing Kev's games it's ridiculous the amount of games he plays in that he really doesn't need to, yea looking at you Belgium. No way was Kev gonna get to the correct level of pinkness this evening .

Was KDB injury more contact injury or was it his hamstring

 

[Chippy_boy]

He has looked off the pace and laborious for me

Running around a lot but not showing much of the quality he's renowned for that's for sure.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Entertaining hafl that, and we've got some in the tank. The new format places less reliance on winning individual games but at home we should hope we can take maximum points

It’s the opposite. In the Swiss system a draw is no good it’s one big table and if you aren’t in the top 8 you play 2 more games and could go out. Plus your seeding is then crap.

Has anybody run the simulations to estimate how many points will be needed from 8 games for top 24 and top 8?

Just trying to gauge how much I actually care about the result.

 

[citytill1die84]

Makes me smile every time I watch it. Especially considering we were away to high flying Ipswich despite being a league below.

Happy days

 

[freshie]

I blame this shite oasis kit

 

[Norbert D]

We need a Rodri thunderbastard.

 

[blue ranger]

Sure I read 15 points for top 8, 10 to get in the play off.

 

[alexmcity]

Foden and Doku to replace Kevin and Grealish with 30 minutes to go.

Kevin's been poor so far.

 

[spacecadet]

Need Kovacic on, or we are losing this.

 

[geek24601]

13 assists in about 18 games last season

Absolutely. He is phenomenal but his legs are still not what they used to be and he is less mobile. Some games this is more of an issue and this game has been one of them so far.

 

[Gabriel]

We need Foden in but he'll be far from match sharp. If he doesn't come on this evening, it's hard to see him featuring prominently at the weekend.

 

[daveiw01]

That's the one, we had him and the other little fella, Bernarbia, both class acts, I think both of those would have been intersting under Pep, particularly a young Ali B.
