Match Thread | Luton vs Man City (10/12/23)

Lol at people having a go at Gvardiol. One of our 3 best players this half, with Jack and Rodri. Walker is inivisible yet again today. It's like playing with 10 men. Who was he marking for their goal? Seemed to me Dias was marking both Luton players.

Yet can't play a pass with his left foot! Walker was anonymous because all the play was down the left and in their half!

 

[Keeper!]

Kovacic is shocking!

no decent first half, keeps the ball moving, that all and what he does

 

[Ric]

Thought the performance was much better than at Villa, not that that is saying much, but it was a really poor goal to concede. For all our possession, it never really felt like we were about to score ourselves.

45 minutes to turn this run around. All the teams above us have been turning these situations into wins, we need to do the same. Wasn’t a bad half, in fact it was way better than last game and a half but we’re missing the final pass/shot. Alvarez needs a rest and Bobb needs a chance.

This next half could be our league season.

I think some of the problem comes from having no right wing and everything then goes left and central where they want us.

He's a very young lad who's off the back of a world cup year and a mega amount of game time. Come on mate

Young lad should be able to put in 90 minutes a week….

The trolls stand out a mile and can safely be ignored as the cunts they are, but some of the regular posters must surely be pissed up before the game starts?

Thanks. That explains a lot. We are all pissed off about this, but true fans will dig in and get behind the team. All this vitriol from so called fans is ridiculous.

Also people saying Kovacic has been shit have 0 football knowledge. The Rodri- Kova set uo from today has worked really well to break the lines. Our problem is Grealish taking 10 touches to do something, and Alvarez first touch has been poor.

The tactical set up and the manegement of the game have been superb. The fibal decisions (low level from some players) is the problem.

Agree with Grealish takin too many touches. A few time City are into the final third, 3 v 3, and loads of space. Then suddenly 5 more defenders get back for Luton. Credit to them for getting back. But they are certainly helped by City slowing the attack down and moving laterally.

Gvardiol looks very good going forward. I like

Another example of the handicap system in the run up to that goal.
Bernardo's throw in was absolutely fine, why did the ref give the foul throw... I think we know the answer.

Yeah how the fuck was that a bad throw
