Match Thread | Man City vs. West Ham (04/01/25)

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Outshot 17 - 8 by West Ham at home, how the standards have fallen.

Sniff...

 

[OrigamiNinja]

They have scored ONE and conceded FOUR…

Ah right. Everything is ok. Nothing to see here.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Jack cutting inside and hitting the defenders legs for the 1000th time in his City career.

 

[heslops barnet]

It’s sad watching him he has been immense for us

Guess it’s just down to our injury list

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Time for another 2 goals yet.

(Who for?)

 

[ChicagoBlue]

I think peps plan is to play Kev into form.

He has always taken a few games to get up to speed after injury. Maybe that’s the idea

That’s all well and good, but 80 mins is a long run out in a game that ended 20 mins ago.

If we have injuries, key players should be protected in the last 20-30 mins.

For instance, how about McAtee for KDB and leave Savinho on. Then, swap him for Grealish. You’ve now added legs and saved legs!

Pep did exactly that with Ake…except Walkers legs have gone, of course…so he SHOULD have put on Simpson-Pusey and not shuffled the whole fucking back line for Walker!!!!

I think it's about keeping them hungry, fit, part of the plans etc. We are probably going to need them as the season goes on. More than the kids anyway.

I’d say their performances say the opposite

 

[flb]

Grealish is never going to score for us again, is he?

I like the lad , he didn’t score a single goal in 2024 , needs moving on.

How many were on target? Their shots have been none threatening. 4-1 is all that matters

 

[Bluearmy]

No, 4...City have had 17

Nope

It’s beyond a joke at this stage

Lovely win this all in all. We still have issues, but savinho on them left is a revelation and nice to see haaland happy.

Agree with trying to keep some continuity in defence at the moment

 

[kaz7]

You said you can’t legislate for walker making a brain fart. I said you very much could. Its a given every time he plays now.

I keep hoping he does better but his head has gone balancing two waring families

 

[moomba]

Missed the second half and just managed a quick scan of the thread. How many did we end up losing by?

 

[Barcon]

Sniff...

Like an anchovies minge.

 

[ThreesKompany]

150 pages for Everton draw and barely 130 for a 4-1 wins sums up this group.

 

[Zenmanc]

At times Bernie sort of looks as he good care less

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Has Walker ever taken a throw-in and thrown it forward?

If he has I've never seen it! Even does same for Engerrrland, Euro final ( iirc) Walker throw in, picked up by Spain, they go and equalise.
