Match Thread | Man City vs Brighton (20/04/22)

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Liverpool get a good chance, mostly score. We need several chances

we've hit the wall at the worst time

Come off it, that is not outplaying, it’s way below par

We can be below par and still be thoroughly outperforming whatever Brighton are doing.

Haaland and Alvares will sort that out

They need too... Not gonna help this season tho...

 

[Homar]

Honestly, we’ve played well but have again been let down by the same deficiencies that we’ve seen all season. We’re going to struggle to win games if we can’t convert chances with any sort of consistency. The other teams have figured out how to defend against us. They know that we have to play through them, because we lack the physical presence of a striker and the pace out wide to get in behind, so they defend with numbers compactly.

If only Negredo could have kept it zipped ,unfortunately we never saw his full potential but that six months he was a beast .

Zipped? last time I checked the "charming man" insisted on playing him against west ham, a game that was already done and dusted. He ended up fucking up his shoulder and that was when it all went to shit.

Actually I think we've not been at it now for months. The odd stand out performance in amongst a load of meh performances tbh. Just more of the same this evening.

Definitely this. Been pretty average all this year in my view.

i said earlier in the week that our lack of finishing could be the difference.....mahrez and gundogan should have have both scored and if thats one of the liverpool front 3 or 4 and both would have been in......the game would then be open and comfortable.....

Mahrez doesnt have a killer instinct in him...i know he is our top scorer this year but he is a soft touch in front of goal too foden and for a player with such sublime skill he should do better.

Issue is that no one on the bench changes this ...Grealish aint a goal threat nor particularly creative....Jesus...bags of energy but again finishing is a problem

For me if we need a goal in the last 20 mins he should throw delap on ....play him in the middle upfront ...he might be a kid but he at least is a finisher.
