Come on City

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Are some of the so called city fans on here actual city fans I don't think so because there's some proper wet wipes on here these past few months

 

[WestGorton]

If we do hold on for the win, it's unlikely to be a thing of beauty. And do I give a flying fuck? Er; no.

Exactly

 

[applejuice]

It seems Leicester will throw on some fresh legs 2nd half

 

[Blue Maverick]

Does anyone know how to tackle in the team, no one puts a foot n they just walk through us. 1-0 is nowhere near good enough we need at least 2 more otherwise this will finish up 3-1 to them

 

[M Gaudino]

missed a lot of the last 15 mins fighting streams but looks like we’ve done our usual retreat after getting the first and could quite easily be 1-1?

Foden is a talented player but its starting to look a lot like he lacks the intelligence to be the de bruyne replacement we want him to be. still gets caught in terrible parts of the pitch doing flicks and dribbles that are not on and exhibits outward frustration which is more akin to a young player which he isnt anymore.

dont mind seeing savinho on the left interlinking with a left sided bernie and kev on the right channel. more of that please.

defensively its fine as always we have massive gaps but the back four are at least not having to run too much - we desperately need a game where they all get through 90 mins

 

[blueabdi]

Yeah I thought he was a defensive midfielder when we signed him and could not have been more wrong.

But is he protecting our defense?
Not much

 

[platty7]

Foden is one lazy fooker defending just let the player double up on Rico just trotting. Back can see the overlap . That's half the problem players expecting someonelse to bail them out

 

[Dax777]

Kovacic vs Leicester

I've said he has looked the best player on the team since returning from injury to me.

 

[MMA]

Again, after what we've done over the last 7 seasons they're entitled to a season where it doesn't quite come off. However, some of them need to remember they're athletes and professional football players. The jogging around doesn't fucking cut it for me - if you lose the ball then the least you should do is sprint and either try to recover the ball or close the player down. Foden needs a rocket up his arse.

Yep
Minimum you ask for .
Earn your huge privileged wage , regardless of form.

Said it many times.

I can take getting beat of the scum 20 -0 as long as I see my team trying and breaking a bollock running for 90.

 

[RayCTID]

Foden needs to sort his attitude out. Constantly sulking & not really offering much. What is up with him ?

If he is performing like this next season then it give him both barrels. He was good in the last game vs Everton we lacked the finish.

 

[blueballs84]

Behave Abdi he's been the best player on the pitch.

Bullshit.
His primary role is to provide a stable base, everything else Is a bonus.
He is failing in his primary role.
He is ahead of the ball and not tracking back every time they transition.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Thought we were playing well until we scored, then somehow we've reverted to the usual panicky crap of the last 2 months. Why has our goal not given us the confidence to go on and score another or two. If they score next watch us crumble, we have to get it

 

[Goater101]

Our recent second half’s have been abysmal so I’m a tad worried. Pep surely has to recognise the danger there and if he doesn’t than what the fuck are him and the assistants watching. We are fine going forwards but we can’t keep playing end to end games

 

[applejuice]

That Justin was shit
I thought he was a good one nah so bad now

 

[M43 blue]

Silva off for O'Reilly could do with his height and energy in the middle or grealish if fit and akanji slow on the ball in the build up if we move it fast we will get more chances on the break there defence is so slow

 

[r.soleofsalford]

We are fucking diabolical.

We don’t have any press, we don’t look like we want to win the ball back.

 

[jamielowndes]

We look so tired and lethargic. Little energy to win the ball back means we are easy to get at.

Hope I am wrong but I can see this ending a draw.

Having been at the Feyenoord game, I could see it ending a draw if we were 5-0 up

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

The narrative about our midfield is shaping the commentary isn't it, dear me. The offside chances are offside. It's good defending! And yes football teams have sometimes kept the ball.

I thought we looked decent. Confidence is running hot and cold. Should be 3 or 4 up.

 

[Gaz76]

This team cannot run-de Bruyne kova and Bernie are dead on their feet.

Second half has usually been much worse of late…..

You would like to think pep and all the analysis lot would be well aware of this and make subs early, but no they won't, it's bizarre
