Match Thread | Man City vs B. Dortmund (14/09/22)

A controlled performance but we’ve looked utterly toothless in the process.

Only Pep could play a natural RB at LB, a CB at RB and leave a natural LB on the bench.

Gomez is not natural LB ffs, he is makeshift LB just like Zinchenko.

Mahrez stinking the place out

Mahrez playing the same way he has since he signed. Some have been kidded on by him stat-padding last season with a load of pens. Some have seen right through this joker for a long time.

Grealish is starting to grate on me.

Literally does fuck all except look for a safe pass then hide.

Never gets a shot off because he needs 3,4, touches first.

What is his purpose other than getting in KDB way all the time.

Stones had haaland and Kev ready to take a pass just outside the box
Didn’t fancy it and passed to mahrez
Why?

Because he’s a centre half and he shouldn’t be there.

First half was a bit shite. Surely we will up the levels a bit second half. Not sure what is going on with the team this season but they seem to have periods in quite a few games where they cruise a bit and don't really look that arsed, then they suddenly decide to start playing and play really well in patches.

@paulchapo sorry just saw your post about Tenerife. I’m not sure where they are staying. She just lets me know her in and out flight times! :-)

 

[SWPISHOME]

We need to buy Bellingham next summer.
He's good on the ball, and all over the pitch. He would look great in this team.

He really is a class act. Imagine how good he would be in this City side.

 

[King Jay]

Cant get much worse. Grealish and Mahrez as wingers are useless on the pitch atm.no speed at all. Put cancelo right, gomez left at back.

That’s what pep wanted no? According to a bunch here since Grealish is world class in slowing the game and doesn’t do rash actions. If the Leao reports are true the LW position will change next season .

 

[Chak19]

Absolutely fuck all happened in that first half, has Grealish ever taken a shot that got past the first man in a City shirt ?

 

[VOOMER]

Patience boys, a better pass from Mahrez and its a guilt edged chance. Their already making last ditch interceptions.
