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

Come on FFS. We've been shite for much of the half and a single goal doesn't change that however great a strike it was. This thread is about the match in front of us and the players aren't looking too good even though many of them have helped us win four of the last five titles.

I try to give the team 90 minutes, you know? We've all seen what they're capable of pulling back.

It's a radical concept, granted. And not one that fits in too well on here.

As the replay clearly shows his arm in the penalty box…

“Referee rightly doesn’t give it”.

That and the Laporte one are both pens all day. Still think Kev's is as well but he bought one last week, might've gone against him this time.

Finally calmed down after those shit calls. Glad for the equaliser. Need to be better in the second half. Sure Pep will let them have it.

We need Rodris height

We do.

We also need a steady back 4.

Yet again more blatant cheating by those running our game. Laporte being wrestled to the ground was the most clear cut pen I have ever seen and that barely got looked at. And as for there being no evidence of this being inside the box? Well they've just clearly given up trying to not look bent and they obviously don't care any more.

That’s even ignoring that the handball stops the ball from entering the penalty box with Bernardo in possession.

Beglin is a **** on comms

Agreed.

 

[Phil1]

Up the intensity and move ball a bit quicker and we will score 2+ second half.

Gundo with another mare. Bernardo offers absolutely nothing on the wing. Get ilkay off and get Grealish on… foden to the right and Bernardo centrally

Good call that. I’d then swap Foden for Alvarez with 20 to go…

Let satrt by playing our players in the right positions , Lewis at right back , Stones in the middle with Dias and take Akanji and Laporte off because Brentford have took the piss with their long punts they have won every aerial challenge

Is Ivan Toney not going to the world cup?

BT haven't said.

Also how much did our bench cost and how old is Jude Bellingham?
