Match Thread | Man City vs Leicester (27/09/20)

Like to see Raz & Phil switch giving us more penetration down that left side where they are just letting Mendy have the ball & for Phil to arrive late in the box, Raz is just playing up against the 3 defenders

Mendy can’t do anything attacking wise and he can’t back , and he can’t defender. I know he’s had 2 bad knee injuries but all he does is lose the ball or pass it back to the left sided centre back.
We need a left back ffs

Agree with this. The injuries have ruined him and he’s become a downgrade on Clichy and Kolarov.

At least Clichy had recovery pace and Kolarov offered something going forward.

I was expecting Mendy to be a combination of both, having pace and a wicked left foot. Turns out he is a combination of both but for the wrong reasons.

JFE is slower than all of our defenders but he has something none of our defenders have... an IQ in double figures. Walker has all the pace in the world but is fucking brain dead. Look at his behaviour during lockdown and then the pen, the guy is fucking stupid, actually fucking stupid.

Our midfield has been extremely poor. Rodri can only pass sideways. Fern keeps giving it away and missed a fucking sitter. Foden not involved. KDB below his own extremely high standards. Mahrez has been Mahrez - a great moment with the goal and then pretty much anonymous.

Sterling has barely been involved since the kick off at Wolves.

Wish someone would fucking mute Neville.

Loves the sound of his own voice that prick.

 

[Kokonut1307]

I’m not sold on Ake, jumps out too much

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Walker managed to both play Vardy onside AND be the wrong side of him for the penalty. Not even sure how that’s possible

 

[dhruvblue]

For all saying we need MF, maybe we need but we won't get one unless we ship Fernandiho or Gundogan off. It's not happening

 

[SebastianBlue]

I'd love Delap to come on but I don't think Pep will do it. The attack doesn't seem to be gelling today.

He’ll come on in the 88th minute when we’re down 1-2. ;-)

 

[Gray]

Apparently we have the biggest squad, so nobody will offer much sympathy.

Mendy, Foden and Sterling in that order, absolutely shocking.

I fear Mendy has already had an instant impact on how poor Ake's positional play is.

But a large percentage of that squad are currently unavailable for a whole host of reasons.

 

[Keeper!]

Walker brainfart. Should have just held his position and played him offside.

Walker brainfart, because Fern had no legs and was taken out of the game with a body swerve
