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

[Keeper!]

Laporte has not looked very comfortable since coming back from injury, to me.
One aspect, and one only, of Liverpool's game that I envy: I just wish that for once we could come out of the blocks at a hundred miles an hour the way they did at their best.

Liverpool, block, 100 miles an hours, you have to be taking the preverbial

Not convinced any of our penalties were penalties, the handball near the line possibly, we've had our minds elsewhere, mahrez or jack on for gundogan, move Bernardo into the middle

The one involving Bernie was definitely a pen

 

[paulchapo]

Fuck me this is a struggle. Nervy in the ground thank fuck Foden smashed that one in

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Need a reset at half time , Cancelo doesnt deserve his place , he f*cked up against the Dippers and Fulham has done nothing right in 45 minutes today, if Zinchenko was still here he wouldbe starting every game on recent form , but we havent got a quality left back repalcement , Gomez doesnt look good enough at the moment.

 

[Zenmanc]

If we're in the fashion of playing a CB at RB I'd rather have Akanji there than Stones.

Grealish for Gundogan. Get Foden running at Henry.

 

[Pedestrian]

Statistics prove goals are overwhelmingly more likely to come from short corners.

So City use short corners and score more goals than anyone else from corners, even accounting for the extra amount of corners we get.

Even when you don’t use short corners, having someone available to take one pulls a man out of the box which makes normal corners more effective.


The club spends millions a year on the best coaching staff in the world to be guided by the best analysts and if they do something it’s because it works.

What about when we lose games. Do they get it right then?

For all the nonsense from the ref today though we’ve been shit today. Very lethargic performance so far and lucky to go in level at half time.

Can’t believe we started with Rodri and Gundogan given how knackered they looked in the week.

Not starting Grealish was a big mistake - again - and he should be on at half time. We need to run at them in the second half.

Don’t like Bernado on the wing - just takes one of our best players completely out of the game.

Akanji and Stones have been awful defensively and need a rocket up them.

I agree,

Gundo off, move Berny into the middle.
Grealish to the left wing and Foden to the right wing.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Cancelo wasn't all that, either...nice goal by Foden, though!

Cancelo annoys the shit out of me,he clearly desires Mahrez's crown where frustration is concerned......i dont think ive ever seen a player who pisses about with the ball quite as much as him.

 

[Blu1]

Rico Lewis who is an actual RB?! Stones looks lost playing there again and is so poor going forward.

Agree
