Match Thread | Man City vs Brentford (12/11/22)

[Sir peace frog]

The one on laporte looked the most Likely

Yes, forgot about that one, thought they were looking at the foul on haaland until they showed it again

 

[Blu1]

With the last game before World Cup I didn’t expect much different to be honest. Pep needs a few changes at half time.

Grealish should be on now & let him run at them. He will cause them issues with free kicks

 

[gray740]

What's with the Johnny Stones hate?

Mahrez on bench.

 

[East Level 2]

You sure about that?

Yes. They are supposed to check all goals, though some may require little checking, all potential red cards and all potential penalties. They can also check mistaken identity if the wrong player is carded.
At least that how it was explained a few years ago.

Someone tell John Stones theres a city game to be completed before checking in

 

[jrb]

Why is Dias not playing? (Pep!)

 

[SleepingBlueTiger]

We'll win this likely because Brentford are a shit side, thank god that defense isn't going up against a top team today.

Can't pick a single good performance so far. Bernardo is lively but he isn't a winger and doesn't effect the game that much there. Still the best of a bad bunch so far.

 

[mccity]

I hope we can keep up the pressure in the second half.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

This side is miles behind 2017-2021.

We are lucky we aren’t going up against a team that will get 95+ points this season.

It’s not even close. Feel like we’ve gone too far in trying to control/limit counters to the extent that we’re nullifying our own play. Having to play CBs as inverted full backs doesn’t help either though. There’s not much rhythm to this version of Pep’s City.

Let’s just try and get the win regardless of performance and move on that’s all we can do ..
