Al Hilal (N) | CWC | Post Match Thread

A tale.of 2 halves again, we should have been clear and coasting but missed sitters
2nd half we let them beat us on the counter yet still we should and could have won it for more missed chances


The defence especially the right side needs addressing still on what is strongest
 
We will be good going forward this season but shit at the back. Need to change the entire back 4 (excluding the new guy from Wolves) and also the keeper.
 
Same problems exist.

Caught every time a team break.

Camped out lose the ball and concede.

It’s not working anymore pep.

Doku brilliant.

The defence awful.

We ain’t back yet and we look no better than last season. Serious issues to make this team hard to beat again. Second to every ball and out fought.

Shame as I thought we were on the way back.

Defence is a major problem.
Dont really know what you seen for Doku to be brilliant
 
They deserved that. Really well played.

Our soft underbelly persists and I worry that our total lack of defensive solidity is going to cause last season's confidence issues to reoccur.

I was never arsed about this competition but it's been a better insight to the standard of the team than the usual preseason friendlies.
 
Better to go out now. A good break for the players now and then regroup before the PL kicks off in 6 1/2 weeks.

Plenty of positives to take from this tournament, and a reminder that we still need to sharpen up in certain areas. Hopefully that defeat will give them the kick up the arse they need.

A special mention for the City OS commentator, Ali Man who said '"City's defence has been watertight...", just as we kicked off for the second half and immediately conceded. Commentators curse indeed - TWAT ;-)
 
6 weeks off so they can get their 4 weeks now. Been a long season. Hopefully this game tells pep to use Khusanov and Reis more.
 
You will get abuse for it but you're spot on. I would also add Savinho to that list.
We’ll win absoloutley nothing as long as savinho is a starting winger of ours, he’s absolutely miles off what’s required to get us back to where we want to be.

No output, no fight, lightweight…would cash in asap and move him on along with any of Dias, akanji or Ake.
