It's not just the pace of individual players though is it? It's the pace with which we move the ball forwards. At times we spend eons moving the ball from side to side with the centre backs before passing it back to Eddie and the whole process begins again. Even when presented with opportunity of a break we do this. It is easy for teams to all get back and set up like this, they don't even have to be particularly athletic.A lot of people saying we need pace, Haaland,Foden, Alvarez, Grealish aren’t slow, pace is just useless against a packed defence and a parked bus. The main area we need pace is at the back to recover as we play so high up the pitch and Why Walker is so important
We were poor today but it is getting very rare to see a decent game at the Etihad as it’s just 10 behind the ball every game

We made it easy for them to do a job on us as we were shite, it has been coming.
We need lightning fast wingers to put the fear of god into teans not plodding midfield play hoping to find a a way through and we also need to find cb pairing and fucking stick with it because every game is guessing game as to who is gonna start touch shit it if pisses players off who are not in the team as atm we look a shadow of title winners and it’s only haalands goals which have covered major cracks up . If Gomez is good enough for our team then we are in trouble and it’s alright everyone saying get jack on to change the game but when he plays he doesn’t change anything . If kdb is off the boil then we struggle simple as that
The amount of chances we have conceded in the last 2 home games...ouch...way too many, Chelsea should have scored 2/3 on Wednesday....we were wide open again today on the break
For me its not the chances we give away that bother me, its the lack of chances we created and in general the snails pace too safe football weve played too often this season.

That can’t be true, every day I hear we have two 50m players for every position on the pitchThis is our problem I think. Cancelo is a pretty average right back but at least can play there. But we have no left back at all. That is unacceptable. Bought another CB for some reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . So when our defence is a very poor left back (who is really an average right back) Two decent CBs, and a decent CB playing as a rb when he really can’t do it.. we are asking from trouble. It affects our build up and our attack as well as obviously leading to ineffective defending. We can’t go a season expecting to get away with it as we have done.
and pep needs tactical awareness!
Genius comment.
