Bristol City (A) - FA Cup | Post Match Thread

[city saint]

makes me laugh when players have a bit of a dip in form and you hear they are finished.

 

[Withnail]

Comfortable win in the end but Bristol City made us work hard, but you expect nothing else when facing a Nigel Pearson side. Defensively Ake and Dias stood out but no prizes for guessing who the star man was tonight.

Take a bow Phillip Foden you were sublime tonight, very encouraging signs we have our Phil back.

300 million bench fc

I noted it too

After that message from Action Man Foden, Pep's happy, hope you're happy too!

Phil being interviewed as man (sorry player) of the match by ITV who still managed to shoehorn the rags milk trophy win into it.
Give it a rest you sad cnuts.
Even the rags at work have come down to earth after Pep's comments

I don't think that was a good performance by any measure till Foden's shot went in off their defender and we pulled away.

Foden, Dias and Ake looked really good.

Philips was all over the place giving balls away, knocking ball away instead of passing.. Rico actually looked like he plays DM better than him.

And Julian was invisible at times.. with the same problems of our midfield not being able to find the striker with a key pass problem against a mid level championship team.

I know it says 3 goal win but didn't feel like it.

Our players needs to seriously wake up for Newcastle as that'll be a much harder game and RB Leipzig can transition much better than Bristol City and we weren't controlling them today.

Phillips had better pass completion than Rico, off more passes, and 90.8% completion hardly counts as giving the ball away all over the place.

Good win. They played well I thought. Very energetic and tenacious.

Phillips should be shining in games like this and he just isn’t. Either he can’t be arsed, is struggling with confidence or isn’t good enough.

I still think the three at the back inverted stuff makes us look awkward and far to easy to cut through.

Alverez is better as a ten than a focal point. So far.

The spine of the team is the most important for me. And it looks weak without Rodri.

The defensive set up just isn’t right and hasn’t been all year. And we have played virtually every possible permutation!

Apart from mentioning the rags every few minutes in commentary, the cost of our bench , some Bristol player used to play for the rags (mentioned 3 times) asking motm Phil about the rags winning the carabao

Phil brush that off nonchalantly though didn't he, didn't even bat an eyelid.

 

[willipp]

KDB finally scoring, Foden back in form, Rodri resting, Haaland resting, Ake doing well, got a clean sheet. Good day overall.

On to Newcastle! Cmon City!

Ake deserves so much credit. He’s grown into this side and he gives so much in a position we are struggling in. He can defend well and showing he has a bit going forward as well. Real top player who has been a godsend.

Ffs what are you on man?

Phil Foden said, ‘I don’t think that was a three-nil game to be honest’ in his post-match interview.

If they’d equalised to make it 1-1 during that good spell in the second half, they’d have deserved it.
