Match Thread | Man City vs. Liverpool (23/02/25)

[Blue tiger]

Gvardiol’s defensive shortcomings get overlooked a lot on here. If he’s our future CB, we’re in a lot of trouble.

Our most overrated player, if he's not contributing anything going forward he's a liability defensively.

 

[yeseye]

Rhyl ?

Usk

 

[Coljj]

lol... Sturridge suggests we might see Haaland come on at some point.

 

[give it to gordon]

Might see Haaland in the second half lol really

 

[WorthlessPoster]

Not a single sub made at ht. Kevin still on the pitch. #PepKnows

 

[super_city_si]

The major problem is no one wants to admit we are shit.

Making excuses still will only stop the rebuild.

Huge clear out. Need to be ruthless.

Opposition:

Everyone behind the ball, Sit deep and let City move the ball from side to side.

Take advantage of them being sloppy on the ball in their own half of the field and punish them.

Rinse and Repeat.

Yep.

That's the team talk right there.

Easiest team talks opposing managers will have.

They don't even need to identify individual players to nullify the threat anymore.

I’d bring on Nunes and scrap that possession football. He’s better than all of our midfielders. So why are we still sticking with the old system if the players that are good in it aren’t good anymore? May as well change it to fit in a player who’s got pace and energy.

TBF I don't personally think Nunez is anywhere close to this standard

 

[heslops barnet]

Is that the players or some of the plastics on this thread?

You talking about the truthsayers?

 

[Chippy_boy]

No changes

Like everyone is shocked

 

[Damanino]

half time pep-talk lets hope it will change our mindset and tactics.

 

[jamielowndes]

So far Doku is cooking Alexander Arnold.

We look good going forward but the final ball is absolutely brutal every time. Marmoush, Doku and Savinho give me hope as a long term attacking group.

 

[SWPISHOME]

It’s so fucking easy. Hold your shape and theyll give it away. When they do go go go.

Exactly.

Teams are set pushing up not even having to go on a full press but sitting waiting on an error to pounce upon.

They let certain players have possession of the ball, Once it goes to Rico for example that's their signal to pounce and it works every time.

 

[blueste41]

lol... Sturridge suggests we might see Haaland come on at some point.

paid to offer that opinion!

 

[Blu1]

No changes. How can a coach watch that and think its ok?

It’s piss poor from pep

 

[Bluemoon115]

Huge clear out. Need to be ruthless.

He won't even make a change at half time.

He'll keep his mates here for the next two years.

 

[paulsimpson]

2 down but the better team. Mo Salah the difference absolutely class, yuck

That sums it up well. What we will get from Pep is the same in the second half. But to get at least 1 goal we must mix it up a little bit tactically . Let their defence think a little bit more. He needs to bring in changes. Kev needs to come off at some point. Kovacic to help Nico would be handy . Phil to drop back into his own position

 

[wolviedinho]

Huge clear out. Need to be ruthless.

I would have changed 5 of them at HT.

It’s simply not acceptable.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Listening to those cunts on Sly you'd think the Dipper's were shooting towards the Kop End in the second half.

There is a Welsh village called “A”(pronounced "ah"). It is a village located in the county of Flintshire. There is also one called "Y" (also pronounced "ee"), which is a small village in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Which one?

But do they have Railway stations?
