He gets the ball and Looks forward but hesitates when he’s about to pass forward and he did it a few time yesterday where he passed it short to Haaland and he had to give away a cheap foul because of Akanji bad passingThe problem with him for me is his performances are very mixed. Does some things very well and very bad in the same game. Like when he was asleep for the free kick when he let Zaha run off him.
I think we have some perverse set up when it comes to chances - Haaland misses, Hoooolihaaaaan would score if he had the chance, Jack's effort is blocked and had it fallen to Haarland it's in! I think there is a sociological, psychological term for this - 'Typical City'!Agree with the first and last the other two are just as guilty.
I've just posted a reply that would suggest that if yer swapped those names around and gave them each others' chances we'd win 9-0!We conceded 0 clear chances. Clear chances for us:
- Penalty
- tap in by Haaland.
- Rodri's shot.
- Haaland cross + reboind that almost got in.
- Grealish shooting completely alone and missing it.
-Foden's free kick.
- Haaland's header completely alone inside the box.
- Alvarez 1v1
- Haaland 1v1
That's 9 clear chances against 0 away against a team that is always hard for us. As I said, sensational.
Sorry but I don`t know what game you were watching, As for me and all the City fans in my local last night we thought that it was a great display from the blues, against a team who really didn`t want to lose and were more than content to grab a point.Maybe just me but I really didn’t enjoy that performance at all. I thought we were sloppy and slow and gave the ball away far too much. Coupled with CP usual tactics it was a hard watch. Good result although we are winning tough rather than beautiful. Thought Rodri and Jack were good. Our back 4 not great with Aki the best and most consistent.
Apart from the one Haaland put over the bar..or the one Jack put wide or the header Haaland put over the bar or the shot by Rod..yeah we never looked like scoring.problem is we won't get 11 more scruffy wins. We are garbage once we get to the penalty box. Teams are just putting 10 men behind the ball and waiting for us to pass and pass and pass and then fuck up and get caught on the counter. Some teams with less ability can't wait to get to the wing near the area and cross it. We can't wait to get to the opposition wing near the box only to then pass it back and work an opening on the other wing then pass the ball all the way back to Ederson. We got away with it today with a silly penalty, apart from that we never looked like scoring.
Think he would do well in The Spanish LeagueListening to Gary Nevilles technical insights yesterday it occurred to me that he really should be a manager. He seems to know so much more than even Pep.
It may have been frustrating Sadds, but I thought we created enough in what was a very tight last third and an even more crowded box.Maybe just me but I really didn’t enjoy that performance at all. I thought we were sloppy and slow and gave the ball away far too much. Coupled with CP usual tactics it was a hard watch. Good result although we are winning tough rather than beautiful. Thought Rodri and Jack were good. Our back 4 not great with Aki the best and most consistent.
