City V Swans

[FogBlueInSanFran]

US announcers just said Sterling sub was tactical, not an injury.

 

[BoundedCascade]

Why can't our players make a tackle? It's embarrassing (terrifying)

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Why leave Yaya in the two with Dinho and play Delph LW?

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Good effort.

 

[kaz7]

Never keeping a clean sheet today

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Swans determined to hack us down now.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Why leave Yaya in the two with Dinho and play Delph LW?

I think Delph is playing on the left of a midfield 3 rather than left wing.

 

[Blueband Brother]

Good run from Yaya but too rash with the strike.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

FFS. Did so well to get into the position then blasted it into row Z.

 

[stony]

Well done Joe.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Clichy just keeps giving the ball away under very little pressure.

 

[BoundedCascade]

Shades of Toure past right there, if only the finishing was there

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Otamendi goes to ground way too much.

 

[Clercqs]

Thank God for Hart

 

[jimmy blue shoes]

well done Joe

Could have easily played Delph in, so not quite Yaya of old.

As Guillem Balague has said, this is definitely not a Guardiola squad. We seem to be confused as to whether we are a possession team (Yaya, Nasri, Silva) or a counter attacking team (Sterling, De Bruyne, Navas)

Couldn't agree more! We're a mish mash of every style, not really excelling at any one of them. I expect Pep to give us a clear identity, and we'll be far better for it. We're capable of counter attacking, we're capable of keeping possession. But not consistently, with a clear pattern or style. That's the way I see it.

I think Delph is playing on the left of a midfield 3 rather than left wing.

He looks to be playing as wide as sterling

 

[Silva_Spell]

Nice of Pellegrini to give Rangel a rest

 

[applecentral]

Many here seem convinced Pep is coming. I hope you are right but I have my doubts
