Foden why hesitate ? Ball was on 1st time for Kev down the line

Who's your pimp?

[Ajm1985]

Big start needed

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Neither am I.

My arsehole goes 5p/50p when Leicester attack.

Used to be 6d / half crown when I was a lad

 

[vicblueman]

You know I respect your opinions but Jack isn't the answer here.
I'd put O'Reilly alongside Kova and push Bernie wider. Ain't happening under Pep though, we may as well leave 2 empty seats on the bench than name O'Reilly and McAtee.lost quite a few youngens coz they dont see

Shame he doesnt trust the kids a bit more

Out late for the 2nd half again!

Shit stirring by Sky

 

[wolviedinho]

2 million pounds last season! Pointless to be late out.

Old players need a breather

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Yet we left the dressing room the same time as the Leicester players...

Maybe we turned sideways, then backwards, then sideways again, before heading forwards.

 

[colorado blue]

Big problem is our press. It consists of Haaland, Foden, Savi, Bernie and Kev. Need 3 of those 5 at same time. Not seeing that

 

[Pelegrinni]

Foden is terrible at closing down spaces.

 

[Gaz76]

Foden with his trademark scream for the ball with arms waving, get the ball and give it straight back to the player he screamed to pass him the ball, complete waste of fucking time

 

[RayCTID]

Be more clinical this half City.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

In 5 months time when we're 6 points above liverpool we'll look back on our small blip and how we'll laugh about it

Assuming Liverpool win their 2 games in hand we would be 18 points behind them. We would have to win 8 games and Liverpool would have to lose 8. Not likely

 

[paulsimpson]

Yep. Just have absolutely no faith that we can stop any team scoring.

We rode our luck that first half but we live in hope. Our attacking play was good.

 

[Ajm1985]

Right. He is effective for progressing the ball up the pitch. He is a great dribbler but he progresses the ball through runs rather than passing which means he can't fill Rodri's role because when he progresses the ball he leaves a huge gaping hole behind him. He needs an effective holding midfielder beside him. He doesn't work in this system unless he holds his runs and stays behind the ball which when I judge his game is his primary job.

Completely agree

 

[malg]

Maybe we turned sideways, then backwards, then sideways again, before heading forwards.

 

[wolviedinho]

Stop fucking half hearted pressing. It’s embarrassing

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Looks like a training game compared to battles we've had in the past with Leicester - particularly the one where VK scored the screamer. Thankfully they have dropped off from those days too.

 

[stan bowles]

Quite worrying that we could have been behind at half time, need to improve now.

And we could've been 3-0 up by the same measure.

 

[roach3]

Throw in 20 yards from where it went out?

 

[gomer27]

Foden allergic to pushing the ball forward
