Have to agree with this, As much as Iove beating the rags...City v Dippers have been far better games the last few years now.How times have changed.
Liverpool home and away is now our biggest game of the season.
To me it is.
LolHappy new year to all blue mooners ! I agree with you, Mahrez tracks back and defends better than Sane. Playing Raheem and Sane together in this game will be suicidal given that both of them try always to take players on leaving us exposed to counter attacks if they lose the ball which has been happening more often than not lately; whereas, Mahrez tends to play it safe and does not attemp dribles unless necessary. I hope Mahrez starts as we can not afford to lose today.
Hopefully Salah will be booked for simulation after being clearly fouled by Walker in the penalty area.
How many half hearted challenges did he put in at southampton ?Won the league with LCFC
Yet to show his best form for City but he played a big part in our win at Southampton. What a goal that would have been - 1st half when Ederson and defence played it through to Fern, and he fed Mahrez who took it in his stride, ran half the length of the pitch and curled it just wide. Its weird how football works out, but just maybe we'll have an unlikely hero this season.
Thought City boys showed a lot of bottle at Southampton, particularly Zinchenko. Time to get behind them all now.
I'm hoping it's just taking time for him to settle in, But I agree with you regarding missing chances, Pulling out of challenges (That's the main one that really gets on my nerves). I think Sergio got frustrated v Saints with that tackle he put in getting booked, Just before the tackle Mahrez never bothered his ass to put in a challenge.How many half hearted challenges did he put in at southampton ?
In his defence have never ever seen a player control/drop a ball like him.then then usual start to run across the pitch before losing it and then turning and chasing his own mistake a la walker style without the pace.
70% of his shots miss the target.but manages to find his face with his hands everytime to indicate it was close in his eyes,when in fact he should of scored or passed to teamates who are waving their arms in disbelief at him.!
