Match Thread | Borussia Monchengladbach vs Manchester City (30/09/15)

Our defence looks bad because of the big midfield shaped hole in our midfield. Just like the pre-season game in germany.

Exactly what I said to my old man. They're literally just soaking up our possession, pressing us into a bad pass then counter attacking.

Schalke did the same thing.

I am rapidly losing faith in Pellegrini.

City look like a group of talented footballers with absolutely no plan and that is down to the Manager

Demichelis has been terrible today at the back. Thought their penalty was a dive but the one that was flagged for a dive was a pen so it kind of balanced itself out there.

We've looked flat in midfield but dangerous in the final third, there's been loads of dangerous balls whipped into the box but no-one has been alert enough to get on the end of them, Sergio looks unfit and his body language and his movement proves that.

Hope someone removes that bungee cord from Kolarovs back, it's seriously slowing him down. Otamendi looks good value, yaya on fire.

IMO guys the whole game just needs more energy(don't know how good city supposedly are on this front), and if attacking football is to be played then the defense would be as well pushing a much higher line leaving less space in the hole behind the front 3.

Sterling has given up trying to actually get beyond players, and always seems to just pull back, and KDB isn't fed the ball enough.

They missed a pen and another blatant shout for one, and aguero missed couple bread and butter finishes.

This is MG though and really should be put to the sword...expect to get thread ban for simply saying this again, but pellers coming up short again so far it seems.

Great game of football and despite it being nil nil im really enjoying it. I think Sterling has been a passenger for the last 3 maybe 4 games, Yaya looks like hes contracted maleria from Kolo and doesnt seem capable of running. MDM should have gone in the summer and Denayer should have stayed. Otamendi looks shaky but im confident he will be brilliant in time.

Pinch a late win here 1-0 with Aguero scoring.

Joe Hart is brilliant, definitely in the top 5 keepers in the world.

 

[BlueTangerine]

I thought the lads were out to prove a point tonight. I didn't realize the point was to play like scared babies though.

I'm not sure why everyone is mad with Savage. He is not as bad as our setup on the pitch is and is entitled to say that.

Much of what Savage is saying is correct.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Aguero needs to find his shooting boots fast and we also need to learn how to mark in defense.....No support from midfield and so many defensive errors I've lost count.....If Yaya is carrying an injury he needs to go off, we've got no one sat in front of defense for protection and after a good start to the season, Kolarov's defending has again been terrible. Hope we can do better in 2nd...Hart showing he's one of the best keepers in the world!!

Typical of savage, spouts crap, how does he keep his job??
If anyone made as many mistakes as he does with his Gob I'd be out of a job.

that IS his job. it gets everyone talking, about BT, about him, people LOVE opinionated shit nowaday, love the reaction it provokes. impartiality is as dead as sportsmanship. this is the new era.
