Match Thread | Ipswich vs. Man City (19/01/25)

Are we happy in here at the moment

The match thread? Happy?

 

[oldius]

Ruben returns and we look much more cohesive.
KDB returning to fitness.
Phil returning to form.
Kova and Gundo working well together.
Doku choosing the right time to dribble and the right time to pass.

Good half, boys.

 

[Keeper!]

Game management now, big few weeks coming up, just keep it tight and let them do the running.

I don’t trust us yet. Need a fourth early in the second half.

 

[ufo]

Well what’s the mood on here??

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Sure they were probably up at the dawn ploughing.

And putting out sand bags to prevent river banks bursting

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Would love a 4th early-ish in the 2nd half so Pep feels comfortable giving McAtee and O’Reilly more than 5 mins.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Kev is still the best player in the country. We need to get him on the anti-aging protocol asap.

Much more like it that.

Still end 3-3 though ;)

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Slow start, but since then it’s been very good, little bit of a swagger coming into our play.

Best game by a considerable distance by Gundo, Kova good, Phil looks like Phil and Kev looks fit and hungry.

Eddie’s been tidy as fuck and Ruben has been missed.

Some great interplay by Doku and Kev down the left.

Let’s hope big Erl is hungry as fuck in this second half, would love another 2-3 goals to lay down a marker for the tough run ahead.

 

[Blueknows]

You are the weakest link Ipswich, so fuck off you shit cunts.

Lol I was there the cunts and their banner

 

[.db.]

Apart from two of our former players passing it's been a good week.

Three

 

[Abattoir Blue]

Feel like we’ve got good names on the pitch but McAtee and Savinho would be more dangerous than KDB and Foden.

Aged well

 

[OrigamiNinja]

In possession we've been superb when we've played it quickly and allowed Kev and Doku to combine superbly on the left, still problems without the ball and Kova and Gundo won't solve that, but Kova has been superb with the ball, Gundo has been fine but I think it would've been the same game with Silva or McAtee alongside Kova.

Possibly but I think Gundo has been fine and given his other performance this season, that is a massive improvement.

 

[malg]

Amazing first half of footy ....what odds are 3-3

Probably evens.....

 

[wolviedinho]

I'm feeling bullish, this is title winning form right here

Not quite there yet but you go for it -:)

 

[Brewster's millions]

A few players look fitter and more confident now, but it’s difficult to judge given how poor Ipswich have been.

We do need to get a lot better with our press and winning the ball back in the middle of the park though.

Dias makes a huge difference. Would be good for Haaland to get a couple and get him on song before Wednesday. Hopefully see lots of subs in the second half as well.

 

[city saint]

so it turns out pep does know more than bluemoon

 

[PragueBlue]

Better than I expected from our line-up. 3-0 is no more than we deserve and could have easily had a couple more.

Looking good going forward with Doku and KDB (despite a poor opening 25 mins) linking up well together and Foden again in goal scoring form. Gundogan has been neat and tidy on the ball, as has Kovacic. Defence relatively untroubled, which makes a nice change!

All have played well. Midfield is a bit lightweight as we anticipated but players are working a bit harder for each other to fill in the gaps a bit.

Keep this going and it should be a comfortable win.

Ipswich are no Brentford, so can't see us blowing this lead
