Yeah, 4 years with 4 PL. How much have we suffered for not playing Jack as a CM...

I mean Gundo Bernardo, Foden and Walker are all playing far worse than him. He has to be a starter. He's not playing great, but we don't have any other player playing better in the midfield. Unless you want Nunes there. We could try Grealish, but still Rico is ib my starting 11 based on the...

Maybe go to the near post in crosses instead of always hiding behing both CBs? Maybe press intensely when the team is not playing at their best? Maybe don't laugh and hug opposing players while the tram is having a hard time? Some players didn't play well, but I can see they tried. Not Haaland...

Clearly must be benched. Nevertheless, watching him close to tears applauding our away fans... what a legend he is and will always be. Thank you Bernie

Clearly we look much more solid defensively. I know people are mad, but I think this is the start of being back to a high level.

With the level we have been, at least our defense has been solid and we have made them worked to get clear chances, unlike last matches. I don't thunk there are solutions for our midfield (we are gonna be poor thrre no matter what with the plauers we have). We saw what happens when Gundogan is...

Every year. Anyone with half a brain can see he was the most important player in each one of those seasons (and you can see my post history where I have said that every season). Again people here are: good results/player scores = good tactics/ best player.

Most people here decide whether the tactics and subs were good or not with the final result. Juts knowing that Rodri has never won player of the season here tells you everything you need to know about bluemoon analysis of games.

Remember the great pass from Nunes where any attacking player in the world would have a 1v1 (which would've meant 4-0 for us)? Except Grealish of course, because he needs 3 full seconds whenever he is in front of goal. Genuinely, I am astonished of how he transforms a 1v1 into a corner where he...

The tactics were good. About the changes, if the players cannot keep up a 3-goal difference against Feyenoord for 15 min... I am sorry, but when you see the brain-dead individual mistakes that produced their goals, I don't know how anyone can blame the changes. I am sorry, but when a team lets...

The only thing he offers is a good cross when he is 1v1. No dribbling (at least not a meaningful that doesn't end in a pass back), no goal threat, zero creativity, zero vision, barely any good pressing anymore (not his fault, he is getting old). I would play him because we barely have players...

I have praised him from time to time. You can see he still has great controls and passong skills. His physicality is not there anymore, but he's much better than Bernardo in every aspect of the game.

Well played. He is top 3 for us this season, which tells you everything you need to know about our season so far.

By the way, this is the lad some have said was the solution to some of our problems...he had 2 seasons with a significant inferior team, and he never showed there was a top PL player in him. Not his fault, but City is not his place.

Maybe because he has been our players of the season? He was bad today, but he would be the only player (with Ederson) to have a passing grade this season.

Barcelona B was as good as his prime Barcelona by the way. I wonder what your opinion was in 19/20, but with how stuoid your comment is, I can imagine

It's tough. We are creating chances but our players have zero confidence in every aspect. I don't know if our midfield has any solution, but it's time for playing a different one. A Nunes, Foden O'Reilly or something very physical and capable of constant pressing. Will it work? Probably not, but...

I don't want to see him starting again for a long time. He doesn't have the physicality, he's the most negative creative player ever...by far, the most protected player here. He's a legend, but football is about the present, and the last 18 months...

The reality is we have had way more clear chances, and yet we are two behind. The other rwality is that Rodri >>> whoever 3 plays in our midfield.

Whenever you think bluemoon has any idea of what the team needs to get better right now, just remember Rodri has never won player of the season here. Hell, Ake was ahead of him in the voting 2 years ago!! Talk about clueless fans. Even when he was far and above our best player for both 22/23...
