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

[Mr Partridge]

We all know Pep isn't the biggest fan of making changes when we're chasing games, but there's no way he can be happy with that.

Oh for the days of Sane and Sterling on the wings...

Grealish is the elephant in the room. I’m starting to wince every time he gets the ball at this point.

So is he every time a shot is deflected. Poor lad looks short on ideas and confidence

Rite come on blue boys.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Excellent respect shown by City and Dortmund.

By not even threatening Dortmunds goal

 

[deano ou812]

I don’t think we’ll see any changes till maybe 70 min mark if any ..

Honestly think both Gundo and KDB are better with Bernie along side them. Together it doesn't seem as fluid.

They are. Should be one of KDB or Gundogan, not both. Having said that KDB is playing more as a striker.

Pep not having a good time with first halves recently

 

[bluemoon32]

Need to get Grealish and Mahrez off, stinking the place out

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Come on city

Looking at Mahrez, I keep thinking did we keep the least good player of Jesus, Sterling, Mahrez for our needs. He also had a huge goal tally albeit lot of those vs lesser opponents so it was kind of predictable he will have a more flat season so to say. probably wont even reach half of the goals he had last season in all comps.

Grealish, yes keeps the ball well, and thats about it, assists and goals will be really rare from him imo. hard to see how he will beat likes of Gundo, Bernardo, Foden, Mahrez, Alvarez for A+G stats over a season. he will be closer to Rodri probably than to those others.
