No mate nobody.

He just needs to put Cancelo at LB and Rodri back in the middle. The correct players are playing they're just being used wrong.

Cheers have a good 2nd half and trip back

This is worse because this Chelsea side is a perfect side for us to play against. They’re no good but they don’t just put 11 behind the ball like most shit teams we face. There’s spaces all over the pitch for us but we are doing nothing with it.

That's correct, perfect explanation.

I’m going 0-5 city

Can I have one of what you’re drinking/smoking ?

Stones MOM first half

Alvarez hatrick

Alvarez <-> Foden @ HT? Not really Pep's style making subs that soon, I know.

The problem is they're countering too easily. A simple turn from Kovacic at least three times, infield, has instantly destroyed any press.

Also, if you think we haven't been knocking it back and forth endlessly you are definitely watching a different game.

4-3-3 and we might win. He doesn't even need a sub to change to that.

What's worse is we're setting up the counter with a dogshit pass in their half.

Sorry I may be missing a wind up but Rhodri has been okay in my eyes. Along with Ake and especially Stone. The only City players really playing well.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Rodri has very little quality to his game and it's painful to watch sometimes.

Oh dear - I just don't know how to reply to that

 

[deano ou812]

Yeah play the players in their correct positions and take the shackles off and let them play with freedom ffs ..

 

[super_city_si]

I don’t see it as a problem with the formation.
More Pep trying to get something out of a team that looks done in and doesn’t do what he’s spent years teaching them.

We just look spent.
