Match Thread | Man City vs. Brentford (20/02/24)

[Alexia_Ko]

2 strikers on the pitch but no runs. What is going on?

 

[Bluemoon115]

Brentford are deeper than Katy Price's minge.

And we're as wide open.

 

[Fordyboy46]

I’m sorry but this isn’t City it’s not a great watch ..

Been the story of our season

 

[Josh_D]

Phil expecting a run in the middle there.

 

[01cravend]

They've got 10 sometimes 11 behind the ball to be fair.

Our approach forces that? We don't invite teams to go toe to toe but rather try to pin them in their defensive third

 

[Blue Til Death]

Brentford are deeper than Katy Price's minge.

But not as wide..!

 

[Semper aggressus]

Get Bobb on the ball more

Better still, get De Bruyne on the pitch.

 

[heslops barnet]

Most teams defend with 11 behind the ball to invite us on and then one lob out of defence and they’re in on goal….

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Serious lack of creativity, sideways, sideways, cross, repeat...zero penetration and no-one taking a risk

We need to switch it up and start looking to play haaland in sooner..so he is actually running towards goal

 

[BlueLou82]

All very safe and simple, allowing them to just shuffle side to side and close the spaces.
