Match Thread | Man City vs. Feyenoord (26/11/24)

[Rory Bluelow]

They just need that bit of confidence and they'll climb out of this pit. Couple of early goals second half will do nicely.

 

[Fourinarow]

Dunno if this has been mentioned before - can't Grealish play central midfield?

 

[PragueBlue]

Started well but faded a bit and they grew into the game. Still we created quite a few chances and got a bit unlucky with their keeper making saves, hitting the post and some good defensive blocks.

We didn't give too much away except when Akanji (as he has a tendency to do at times) went rushing forward after the ball leaving big gaps behind him. He really needs to be a bit more disciplined in holding the defensive line and plugging any gaps.

Gundogan is the big worry. Had a decent shot that was well blocked but other than that he's been caught in possession and given the ball away a fair few times. He isn't really contributing much defensively or in attack at present and really doesn't look at the required level. It's a shame as he can be such a wonderful player. Maybe Nunes and Bernardo holding with Savinho or KDB coming on.

Anyway, we are the better team and if we can take a few more of our chances 2nd half, we should go on to win this.

I wish Pep would give gvardiol a try as a 6.

He prefer 69!

We are going to get absolutely demolished on Sunday. Hopefully Kev is being rested for that match

If he can't play a full 45 mins against these he'll be lost against the Dippers

 

[Lauz9888]

It's going to take a while to play into some confidence and form. I'll take scrappy, we just need to hold onto this lead so we have something to show for the effort.

 

[Stoned Rose]

See Amazon have brought in the experts with Pearce, a man who knows a thing or two about being shit.

The cunts on my Premier Sports stream are literally ejaculating about our drop off. The co commentator keeps referring to “were” a lot as in City are dead and buried and you’ll never see them again.

 

[N1985]

Fuck me, surprised Pearce hasn't sat in the dugout must feel right at home! Get your fucking horse out you fucking weapon.

Who is this woman in the pundits?

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Premier sports. Fuck me 4 blokes in the local pub could analyse and give better insight than this all star line up

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

I wish Pep would give gvardiol a try as a 6.

I wish Pep would play Ortega in goal and try Eddie in midfield.
He’d pick a defence splitting pas better than any of them.

 

[spacecadet]

I am so happy we have got our noses in front. Still EVERY fucking shot or cross hits someone.

 

[jollylescott]

Not the most convincing of halves, but any lead is good given our rough trot. Come on City this is a must win for us.

 

[ayrshire_blue]

Really poor.

So much has been said about us having many players in decline which is right, but doesn't explain how much of the same group can go from a performance of absolute dominance against Real Madrid in May to this shite tonight.

The loss of Rodri is another factor but again doesn't justify this drop of intensity.

 

[Gabriel]

Dunno if this has been mentioned before - can't Grealish play central midfield?

It’s possible but not probable, particularly given how injury prone he has become.

Looks like the weekly IRA meeting

 

[Stoned Rose]

Tight and professional now this half.

See the fucker out.

 

[TinFoilHat]

And the city are shit circle is complete by having Stuart Pearce in the ground.

 

[MMA]

Fuck me, surprised Pearce hasn't sat in the dugout must feel right at home! Get your fucking horse out you fucking weapon.

Yea..
Tell Eddie to go upfront..

Wait a minute that wouldn't be a bad shout lately haha.. ;-)
