Match Thread | Man City vs. Brugge (29/01/25)

[mac]

That’s all he can do

Nah he slows everything down . No urgency

 

[supercity88]

Abysmal. Not content with the lack of pace from Kovacic, Gundo and KDB we throw Stones in to make it even more congested. Walking pace 5 yard passes and still no energy to get back in position. Madness.

Foden in the middle, Savinho wide.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Absolutely shite. Story of our season.

 

[MCFC1993]

Shocking from Nunes but also came about because Gundogan and Kovacic were nowhere to be seen.

Another note, the passing from Akanji, Kovacic and Nunes has been horrendous. The stats won't show this but the amount of times the intended target has to check their run from their passes is a joke. Behind the intended target constantly.

 

[DMA's]

The fact the club haven’t sorted a fucking dm since the summer or even since rodri went down is a fucking disgrace. To let walker go and be left with Lewis and nunes is a disgrace. Fucking fuming

 

[ArdwickBlue_M12]

The way we are playing you would think we have already qualified fuckin hell

 

[Thaksins Love Child]

Mad we've ended up with nunes as rb. Get savinho on and foden central. Somehow stop the counter too haha

 

[mancityscot]

A midfield of kovacic, gundogan, Bernardo and De bruyne and expects us to get through a double decker bus? I’m no fucking footballing tactician but even I can see that is fucking deluded.

 

[wolviedinho]

Go on then...what would you have done differently?

Full back wides and high, go long to Haaland.

Bernie building attacks.

 

[Tb1981]

Guess you were in a coma Saturday

Was that the game where marmoush added some pace and we actually played through balls to our forwards?

 

[01cravend]

Bollocks nowt he could do about that

Just right of middle of goal and he got hands to it..yeah must have been unsaveable

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Dunno why I thought things would be different-vulnerable every time we lose the ball.

Careless on half time.

Yes.
I didn’t think it would take that long.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

That’s completely on Pep. Fucking awful set up of the side.

Bernie RW? He’s not beaten a man for 3 fucking years. He doesn’t create and he doesn’t score…lets play him wide forward.

Foden, scoring for fun…let’s put him out wide.

Gundo, Kova and Kev, slowest midfield on the planet…yeah let’s go for it.

That half was fucking dogshit from start to finish and it came from a turd team selection and tactics.

 

[Bluemoon115]

Can't single Nunes out for that goal.

It's not his fault the powers have be have let us down so much that he's our best fucking option at right back.

 

[Silva Citizen]

Not his fault

Your right. It’s peps for playing him there

 

[christened at st marks]

Akanji wasting time coming out of defence Phil on the left just what we deserve He fuckin astounds me with his stubbornness

 

[Semper aggressus]

Go on then...what would you have done differently?

No Bernardo or Gundogan they offer nothing. Savinho right wing, Jack and Phil central just behind Kev, and get it in the damn box as quickly as possible, Wimbledon-style. We don’t have the players to do any else this season.

 

[bitterblue78]

When do we all think pep will change and throw the kitchen sink at them

 

[City Raider]

Lewis for Nunes, Sav for Gundo. Joke playing Phil on the wing.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Same old shite. Without the bounce of new players we are serving the same shit up every week.
