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

I'm not watching, on a scale of one to ten how close are we to bottling this?

The fans or the team ?

 

[Damanino]

thank god we didn't put delap on the bench that'd be awful

he might have an important EDS game later this week, cannot be risked for a shit game like today one.

 

[samuelyeboah]

Another team just sitting back hoping to hit us on the counter. We need to be more clinical. Please Pep don't wait till we are one behind for the sub.

oh fuck off with the "teams sitting back". it's not their fault we take 20 minutes to start a fucking counter. there's plenty of space in behind but every single time the players take a billion touches and play it back because we have no pace.

it's not the opposition "seating back" it's city being unbelievably slow and tedious

 

[bondsman]

Yes because they don't have to find their way through all 11 men around the box.

If we moved the ball quicker we might not

 

[PragueBlue]

I thought that we have played quite well but as usual the final ball and decision making has been a bit off.

Keep playing like this and more chances will come. We should win this by a couple.

Parallel universe this place

 

[SWPISHOME]

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

Give it a bloody rest ffs

 

[01cravend]

Phil offering nothing in attack
Gundo offering nothing at all
Mahrez wasting any good chance


Same as usual recently be relying on Kev to pull something out the bag.

Oh fucking shut up

 

[WorthlessPoster]

From where?..they look as dangerous as is and could equally score second half.

KdB

This is insane. Whole thread is insane atm

It would be worth taking Ake out as they are completely ignoring him on the overlap. Outside of that we just need the composure to finish

And what about defensively???

 

[Cobwebcat]

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.....

Those shots normally have a lot of defenders in front of them.

You don’t think Rodri is good? Do you watch a different sport to me??

 

[goatinho]

Scousers have got in our heads

The media have got in everyone's heads.
This atmosphere is the worst its been all season. Everyone has literally given up.
What an embarrassment. At least 100 empty seats in this block of season ticket holders. Fucking embarrassing.

 

[marco]

keep carm chaps we'l win

 

[bert38]

A painful watch.

 

[simon23]

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.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

The fuck dippers have fuck to worry about after watch that first half

 

[didactic]

Mahrez has not recovered from his Liverpool miss. He needs to stop trying to be the hero and pass the ball to people who are free and available!
