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

[Goater=Legend]

The decision to not replace Mahrez (and Palmer) with a right winger and to then keep Kyle Walker, knowing that our right back would have to be our width on that flank this season and that Walker is bobbins at it, is so bad that I’d say it’s the main obstacle we face each game. The board/Pep fucked the summer up spectacularly.

Bobb would of been the RW but unfortunately Pep feels the need to put Foden there to get Alvarez in.

The only criticism I have is the build up.

It’s so fucking slow, erling getting nothing. No point trying to pass it to him with 4 defenders marking him.

fix the build up and we would be scoring a lot. This slow tepid take too many touches is killing us.

We must have ditched the rondos and started playing 5 touch

Too slow, in games like this we miss Gundog.

What time is Alvarez going to go home?

Certainly a square peg in a round hole at present; he’s shoehorned into the line up since haalands return, makes zero sense…

I will be pissed if pep doesn’t change this at half time. At what point will he realise this does not work.

He is a stubborn so and so and will leave the players currently on the pitch to sort it out.

Think we’ve played well and but for Mee would be ahead. Rodri is having to cover huge amounts of ground and needs help; the same holds for Walker. Brentford are defending manfully and it might take a gutsy call: de Bruyne for Haaland…

We've had chances. Just need to take one. They defend well. Maybe Kev to get through them.

Not sure how we’re going to breakdown a 11 man defence……

 

[TinFoilHat]

We're going to win this.

Trying too hard. No rub of the green. Poor ref yet again or is it they are so below understanding the game at the level City play?
