Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Brentford (09/05/26)

[BlueMerlin]

Our shooting has been off lately. Maybe we can step it up in the second half. We are by far the better team. Semenyo isn’t taking on his man. We should bring on Savinho.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[mcfcallo]

Marmoush would have bagged 2 in that first half.

Just saying

 

[christened at st marks]

I completely lose faith in Pep putting that idiot in nets worst keeper since b4 Eddie

 

[Nellies left peg]

Dominating games like that should be 4 or 5 nill doku outstanding

We need someone running into the box to get on the end of Doku’ s great work everyone is stood still in the box, fat Frank style

 

[daztrueblue91]

Doku has really taken his game to a new level this season. I’d like him to be more selfish in the box though. Rather than cutting it back all the time I’d like to see him shoot more.

 

[waspish]

Great half that for my moaning

 

[uwerosler28]

Semenyo absolutely shite, even managed to tackle himself at one point!

 

[kanovic]

Well league is over anyway. Just win the cup and restart next season

 

[super_city_si]

Don’t Doku tell the players where he is going to put it if he gets past his man? Because it doesn’t look like it and it looks like it’s the first time Haaland and few of the other players have played with Doku! It’s fucking mad Doku been her 3 years and they don’t talk about where the ball going or a sign that they know where the balls going!

It looks like a team that just come together

He’s out it in the exact spot about 4 times. No city players there.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Reijnders has actually been alright

 

[ThreesKompany]

The same cross that has picked out a Brentford player every time. If Doku could work on his final ball he would be unplayable.

I bet if you go back and look at every time he has the ball in that situation, the vast majority he is playing into right space. Someone has to be available. He can't magically find someone through a crowd when they're being defended.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Might help if he passed to one of his teammates rather than just passing into space.

He has got past his full back and played the ball into the same space on the edge of the six yard box at least three times. Wouldn’t you think his teammates would know by now where the ball is going and attack the space. Our movement in the opposition box is virtually nonexistent

 

[MCFC1993]

The same cross that has picked out a Brentford player every time. If Doku could work on his final ball he would be unplayable.

Not seen Haaland run across his man once and that cross has made it to the penalty spot every time, Haaland isn't gambling at all, neither is Cherki, neither is Semenyo.

 

[ufo]

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away Tijani Reijnders was Serie A Midfielder of the Year

Pl is too fast for him

 

[NptonBlue89!]

The same cross that has picked out a Brentford player every time. If Doku could work on his final ball he would be unplayable.

Yeah it’s a mixture of both, doku could maybe whip a low one across the face of goal sometimes to haaland if not a midfield has to arrive late to hit the cut back! Either or it’s not been good enough considering the positions we’ve been in

 

[wolviedinho]

Whilst true, the boos were for the ref, clearly.

Yea I know -:)

 

[blue moony]

The same cross that has picked out a Brentford player every time. If Doku could work on his final ball he would be unplayable.

Bullshit we had 5 players going in the same sapce
Every time … someone needs to stand on the penalty spot ffs

 

[Blue and true]

Semenyo has been coached, hasn't he? Part of the machine now, and unrecognisable from the player that arrived.

Whole dressing room needs a rocket, as does our manager.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Too slow, too predictable, too many touches….
