Match Thread | Leicester vs. Man City (29/12/24)

[01cravend]

44 pass builld up and chance against us by fucking Leicester City.. 48 is the record btw

What have I become, my sweetest friend

 

[super_city_si]

Gvardiol has the ability to gift opposition goals on a regular basis.
Too fucking complacent.

Needs a rest badly. His confidence has gone.

 

[kaz7]

If he was ill he wouldn't be starting.

He has the effects of being ill stil!

 

[Keeper!]

Rico is a liability. Great kid but just isn't cutting it anymore. Get rid.

give it a rest

 

[handsofstone]

Players still look like they're fed up and can't be arsed anymore, team has no legs thankfully we are SOOO much better than then that it hasn't bit us in arse... yet

 

[applejuice]

I'm fully convinced we've completely forgotten how to tackle...

Other than Bernie and Kovacic, Why do we have players pulling out of every single challenge...I'm not seen things, It’s happening and it's frustrating as fuck.

Maybe that is the coaching

Did we hire someone from LA Liga?

 

[Haaland94]

He’s been one of the better players so far in this game.
Please stop with this unnecessary criticism.

Buonanotte almost scored and he was nowhere near. Same with that Vardy chance, thank goodness it was a small offside. Defensive liability.

 

[mdj0520]

Kev is much much better than last game

Love him so much

Sad we may not see him next season

What? He has looked awful again. Looks like he's running through knee deep mud and misplaced 1-2s. He's completely finished.

 

[MellowJoe]

They'll all come out with fire in their bellies 2nd half and we'll win this 3-2

 

[jaiguruKun]

Needs a rest badly. His head has gone.

Or tried in midfield?

 

[gomer27]

We have forgotten how to attack defenses. We pass the ball around and pass backwards more then forwards. It’s hard to watch

 

[Bluewars II]

KDB’s legs are gone.
Now fans will understand why Pep doesn’t play him.

He's been our best attacker.

 

[stan bowles]

We are fucking diabolical.

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

But we are winning !!

 

[Mr HJ]

What on earth are you on about? Watch the goal and tell me Rico is killing our attack.

Under this system he has had the ball about 30 times in good positions and the only time he actually played a first time pass we create then score - that is my point - his position is key and with us struggling he needs to do that more often. Tell me what else has he done from receiving the ball in the centre circle with space? And you have to admit when they break down his side they look as though they will score every time.

 

[blueballs84]

Every time they transition they are running against 4 defenders with Kovacic nowhere to be seen

 

[applejuice]

What? He has looked awful again. Looks like he's running through knee deep mud and misplaced 1-2s. He's completely finished.

He was even worse last game...

 

[youngbob]

Needs a flat back four second half. Have to compensate for the total lack of anything defensively from the midfield.

Hate to say it but De Bruyne looks finished at this level. Still has the magic but his body is broken and he deserves more dignity.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Rice did in interview on Boxing Day saying he’s really struggled since the euros due to a lack of rest and he’s only just starting to feel like himself again. It does sound like accumulative physical and mental fatigue is becoming a serious issue. Rodri mentioned being at best break point before his injury.

Lack of a rest.
He's done fuck all since may

 

[Nour]

They are easily walked through they give up and let the opp player pass easily

 

[SWPISHOME]

Maybe that is the coaching

Did we hire someone from LA Liga?

Looks like we've hired a basketball coach, Let's just stand and watch the opposition with the ball.
