Lyon (H) - Post Match Thread

[Aussie!]

We ended with the lineup I wanted. Would’ve things been different if we started like that?

Would have, yep

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Got what we deserved in the end, we lacked urgency especially in the first half.

 

[axlgod]

I’m off to bed.
That was piss poor, but tomorrow is another day.
Roll on Saturday.
C’mon City!!!!

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Horrible game, we are not warming to this competition are we?

Wrong lineup and extremely lethargic apart from Sterling and Sané.

When we are outnumbered in midfield and Dinho is not playing well, then we have problems. Gundogan and GJ have to stay away from the starting 11 for some time.

 

[the god Gerry Gow]

We certainly haven’t clicked yet.

We look ponderous of thought and action.

Some very poor performances tonight and not too many good ones. MOM vote is gonna be a tough one.

 

[Blu1]

Poor attitude
Poor selection
Poor midfield
All players having a poor game

Surely that won’t happen again this season!

Midfield is my biggest concern this season.
Top teams will run us all over the park.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

No one looked like they wanted to be there tonight. Never seen such sloppy passing, slow build-up and lack of movement. That's our third straight home defeat in this competition and fourth defeat on the trot.

 

[blumoon]

There's something amiss so far this season.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

Ederson 7
Stones 6
Walker 2
Laporte 6
Delph 2
Gund 2
Fern 1
B Silva 5
D Silva 4
Sterling 7
Jesus 2
Sane 6
Kun 6

Arteta 2
Worst City performance in years.

 

[Dazzle84]

Poor performance and if we're honest it could have been much worse, they hit the post and ederson could have been punished when he pulled the striker back.

We looked 'old' tonight. And if Jesus is the long term replacement for Aguero we're in trouble.

 

[balotellishaircut]

Just got to move on to Cardiff now, management team underestimated Lyon, better not do the same at the weekend.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

1st half killed us.

The starting eleven killed us. That, and lazy, sloppy play.

Shite all round!

 

[Burtonblue]

Played first 45 as if we couldn’t give a toss!
I think we really missed Pep on the touch line today

 

[chesterbells]

Frustrating to start playing when 2 nil down. In essence we need to go and win over there to remedy this.
If it is the case we’re prioritising the CL, which personally I’m not in favour of, then we need to be picking our best available XI midweek - rather than playing it last Saturday.

 

[Aussie!]

Question: what was the reason for aguero being dropped? He needs to start every game if he's not injured. Jesus is not our main guy at his stage of development

 

[argyle]

We don't look like the same team as last year.

The passing is sloppy, movement non existent and understanding between players seems off.

Also, Jesus needs to do much more. He's offering zero goal threat right now.

 

[Ken92]

Horrible game,wouldnt think Guardiola was our coach seeing this,we are nowhere near our last year lvl,need De Bruyne nack fast.we are lacking in our pressing up front,lots of one pass mistakes and quite sloppy at the back.Ferna is our weakest link in attack against high pressing teama and was so against Liverpool last year.We are no favorites anymore and maybe it will help us,but not in my worst nightmares i could have seen us loosing tonight..:(

 

[brummie blue]

When a City performance makes the managers kid cry it must be bad, extra training... again. Play like that at Cardiff and we'll never hear the end of it.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Surely this decides it. Bernardo is a central midfielder, not a winger.

 

[feelymcfeel]

Nobody was at at tonight it seemed, pretty poor all round. Been a while since I’ve seen a showing like that from city.
