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

[MCFC1993]

Kev in midfield.

Gundogan off.

Sterling/Jesus up front.

Something up with this team. In comparison to where we were the last years anyway. Although KDB is great, he's been way off his best too. Remember the days when he was always swinging in monster crosses that could take their entire defence and the ball landed on the toe of our striker ? Yeah, that was KDB in his absolute prime and he's not at that level anymore even though he does still have a few moments.

Up front we're a non-event too. That 100m for Grealish was a terrible mistake and waste of cash. Surely we could have got a pretty good striker for that ? I doubt we'd get back half what we paid if he was sold today.

Dunno. The squad looks knackered for some reason ..... in mind and body.

We are being patient cos they are very compact and everyone of Brightons players are trying to hit us on the counter. Go and watch the first half again.

Brighton had 2 players on the floor in that first half, 30 yards from our goal. We pissed about that long, that by the time we got to the half way line they were behind the ball!

Spurs away, 18 shots lost
Saints home 16 shots drew
Palace home 14 shots lost
Liverpool away 12 shots (double Liverpool) drew
Wolves home 24 shots, won with a dodgy penalty
Southampton away, 20 shots drew
Spuds home, 21 shots lost
Palace away 19 shots, drew
Liverpool home 11 shots (nearly double Liverpool) drew....


Our finishing is criminal.....

Been like this for two seasons, you'd have thought with all the data teams use we'd have noticed and put it right.

Just get Grealish on the pitch - he'll break the deadlock.

 

[argyle]

Ever since Gundogan came back into the side we turned to shit.

Everything slowed down, players moved to fit him in.

He has no urgency.

We need a goal and he passes back, every fucking time.

 

[Father Paul]

Lavia is a better version of Rodri. He sees a pass forward, Rodri mostly never.

Rodri is developing a habit of going missing at the business end of the season not sure he has what we need

 

[Gray]

Ake has been limping for 20 minutes yet is still on the pitch.

 

[PragueBlue]

Dias coming on for Ake what a stupid decision should of been someone that can offer something going forward

Will be Cancelo at LB and Stones at RB in that case. Cancelo is pretty average as RB.

Goal is coming keep the faith

I think we will score eventually but that doesn’t hide the fact that we are not only not clinical, but we don’t take gifts either.
We won’t get away with such profligacy all season and expect to lift trophies.

We need somebody to take up the challenge and put them away consistently like in previous seasons. I’m hoping Kev grabs this by the scruff of the neck tonight.
Somebody needs to put their laces through a shot in the box. None of this side footed shit.
