Match Thread | Brighton vs Manchester City (12/08/17)

Aguero is just not involved in the game. When he moved out wide he didn't have the pace to run on to balls played from deep.

Stones could quarterback this game but he's been poor in possession.

Perhaps, but we both know that isn't gonna happen :)

Pace,pace and more pace,get Stirling and Sane on

 

[SWP's back]

I just don't get it.. 5 at the back against a small team gives the game right into their hands. So frustrating

Because it's not five at the fucking back.

No wonder you don't get it.

Time yet, come on City. I'd take Jesus off being on a yellow and put Sterling on. Danilo off, Sane on. Need to get behind them more.

Exactly what I would suggest.

We seem to have over compensated and the defence looks rock-solid.

This is why Sanchez is a must. He takes responsibility and forces packed defences to engage him.

We just want to move the ball on at present and work an opening.

Sanchez has the capacity to take players on.

Can't wait until he arrives to be honest.

Bernardo Silva has the ability to take players on and to unlock defences with good passing ability

Any of Toure, Sane, Sterling and Silva would be welcome at some point soon if nothing changes.

Bit meh that half. Ottamendi off, Sane on. Go back to 4/4/2.

 

[pudge]

At least he made contact.

His "well done" sticker is in the post.

Ha ha. Very worrying times indeed after 45 minutes of the first game of the season !
