Savinho unlucky

 

[itsnevereasy]

Going to be one of those days

 

[CΛL]

this is the sort of game Rico Lewis would enjoy, trying to make something happen in tight spaces, little combinations

 

[dubblue]

Both shots going wide anyway

 

[theholysmurf]

Trump would sort this shit out

He’d score a goal and make the Villa fans pay for it

 

[waspish]

Pep doesn't like Cherki

He is a player pep feels he will try things to many times and we lose the ball! Was the same with Foden and why he eased him in till he learned

 

[Don Karleone]

How???

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Wow big changes. Glad doku

 

[Mancity1980]

That was close to a goal!

 

[Norbert D]

pep must have woke up.

 

[mcfcpride]

Does Oscar Bobb know he’s playing with 10 other guys?

Keeps trying to do everything himself.

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Seriously Pep can fuck off with these subs. 1-0 down and he decides lets get the two Nico’s and Doku on instead of Cherki.

 

[malg]

Nearly

 

[pbueno16]

Tf is own goal doing there?? That’s a tap in

 

[Brewster's millions]

Why no Cherki and Marmoush?

Marmoush may as well go in January if he can’t get on today.

 

[roach3]

So sav sees 3 subs then actually tries

 

[balotellishaircut]

We’ve been sloppy, but yeah they’ve been very good, executed their plan well so far

Not as if it’s a hard plan mate, get a gifted goal and sit back, easy.

 

[Blu1]

60 minutes too late but thank god

 

[theholysmurf]

Both shots going wide anyway

Second wasn’t

Trying to be positive here is hard - the game against Villarreal was a poor performance but decent outcome and so far in this we have been back to the issues from the darkest moments last season.

We are playing like a pre-season friendly - no tackles, slow to play forward and no desire. We were starting to get it right with a settled defence yet Pep has changed it back because of the injury to Rodri and we are struggling. There is nothing dynamic about this team right now and frankly without Ealing's goal tally we would be in real trouble.

What the hell was that final pass Josko? Oscar is also a bit weak on the ball is he not...

Bobb isnt good enough. Bit of magic in the Newcastle game then a year out fed the myth
