Brentford (H) | Post-Match Thread

[Rolo]

What's the point of having a great squad if we aren't going to use it when we are in moments of need.

No wonder Grealish is playing within himself , he can't get going. He has a great game and then is on the bench the next. Doesn't even get brought on to try and change the game!

Baffled.

We are going to have days like this, so let’s not act like rags and dippers and take it on the chin.

This applies pre-match too.

 

[Constantine]

Both Kev and Haaland have been in bad form today tbh

 

[Blu1]

Lack of subs and tactics insane today with world cup in players minds. Game management shocking. Take a point pep under all the circumstances. Everyone flying forward with a minute to go is nuts

Love pep but he has his faults & tactics like this is why we won’t win champs league

 

[colorado blue]

Pretty sure Arsenal players are going to look at that and not do the same. It’s ridiculous having a WC mid season but shocking performance from everyone except the one player that should have been going.

 

[burning blue soul]

Obvious to see that players are thinking of the world Cup and not their day jobs.
That's the down side to having a winter world Cup.
Fair play to Brentford. They executed the game plan excellently, not such good news for anti-anti-football though. Their time wasting was immense.

 

[Gumzy97]

Players had the world cup on their mind, defence shambles. But you can't blame them when they don't know who your cb partner will be each week. Need to stop chopping and changing the defence. Honestly who is our best CB partnership right now it's like musical chairs

 

[christened at st marks]

Fair play to Brentford and especially their manager,he showed Pep how to do it today.

Fuckin horrible cunts

 

[Stelea]

Disgraceful effort by both players and management

 

[N1985]

Weekend ruined

Haha behave

 

[Thornliebank]

Brentford looked like scoring everytime they went forward. City’s slow, methodic build up is becoming oh so predictable.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Awful.

The performances of stones and Cancello was the worst ive seen by city players since Pep arrived. Cancello didnt have a clue where the attackers were all game and stones wasnt even half arsed in that match.
Gundo was getting bypassed and that was back to the days of his worst performances. KDB was at it at all.
Akanji all over the place

Bernie tried but couldnt affect the game..Haaland just had nothing and didnt look fit or sharp.

Foden only one who looked like he was up for it....

I don’t think stones did anything wrong

 

[Mariosfireworks]

No surprise there, well deserved win for Brentford. They created 4 times as many good goal scoring chances as us. Absolutely shambolic performance against a team with 1 win in their last 9 games, ZERO wins away. Pep has to take a big part of the blame here, none of the players he picked looked interested in trying to win, no desperation at all, and despite that he did absolutely nothing to change anything about it keeping them all on for the entire game, with the exception of Alvarez being subbed on almost to mock all the fans complaining. This has to be one of the worst home games in years from us. Seems like our players care more about WC than the club who pays their wages. Shambolic.

How is everyone blaming the world Cup? Haaland did Jack shit and he isn't going to the world Cup

 

[balotellishaircut]

Been saying it for a long time, if Grealish is on the bench we haven’t got the pace in midfield to break the lines, you need players to create space by taking people on.

 

[dickie davies]

Worst refereeing performance I've seen in an awful long time but that was emulated by KDB Rodri akanji & cancelo
We totally ran out of ideas, so you can add Pep to that list as he needs to take some responsibility for not shaking it up

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Absolute shit performance. What the fuck are those defenders doing all game. Akanji for that last goal. Tragic.

If De Bruyne has a bad game then we are pretty average and it’s been coming that.

Definate world tackle avoidance today.

Crap

 

[pudge]

Our corner routines are wank

Everyone floods to the near post... And that's it!

The one time we create a few layers, we scored.. Shocker

 

[blue moony]

Disgusted by all the diving thats curently going on

We lost i can take that, Brentford deserved it

That is not the City i love out there diving and cheating , they can fuck right off with that shit

Kev should be ashamed , but they were all at it

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Typical City!

 

[Josh_D]

Disappointing performance despite the var calls and such. Brentford did what they had to. Stuck to their game plan. City couldn’t respond. Feels bitter but such is life. May as well give football a rest all of this weekend.

Try and make something else of the weekend blues and avoid all your rag/dipper ‘mates’ and work colleagues.
