Match Thread | Man City vs. Ipswich Town (24/08/24)

[Eccles Blue]

This is splendiferous. Great football. Maybe the fans are so in awe that they are letting Ipswich fans outsing them. :-)

Lewis is almost always ice cold under pressure.

A mental attribute that usually a player is born with, and he was.

Put that down to his dad.
And his upbringing in muay thai.

Not seen any of the game but knowing Keown is impartial and quite likes City I'm guessing Ipswich should have had a pen?

If he increased his number of brain cells rather than hair transplants he might make sense.

Absolutely toying with Ipswich that first half, and if we want to we can score six, but will we really go for it in the 2nd half?

Would be nice but we probably won't

 

[Keeper!]

Put that down to his dad.
And his upbringing in muay thai.

Clearly worked hard this summer, he has the physical strength to go with it now.

Played well that half and if we had our shooting boots on (especially Lewis), we'd be out of sight.

Keep it going 2nd half, be a bit more clinical and we should win this by a large margin.

Well it’s not boring this is it haha

Their defence and keeper are suicidal

Everyone is obsessing about this playing out from the back thing. Its not for everybody, we don't even have a complete back four that can confidently play out of the back, Walker after all this years still isn't 100% with playing out from the back, same can be said for Dias. Teams just need to be humble and play to their strengths.

If he increased his number of brain cells rather than hair transplants he might make sense.

Or increase his IQ enough to be on a level playing field with an empty crisp packet.

rico fucking marcelo lewis

I think the nearest comparison for me is Cafu.

Who I was lucky enough to watch very early on when he was briefly at Real Zaragoza.

I'm at the game. Strange match. We are obviously streets ahead of Ipswich but everytime they attack I fear the worst. We really need to take some of our many chances. Credit Ipswich they're having a go.
