Match Thread | Man City vs Leicester (06/05/19)

[pudge]

Laporte and Zinchenko need to tighten up as well

 

[bluemcr]

We need Jesus for the press. This is the best passing team we've faced. Silva off for Jesus.

Leicester look very organised winning second balls and picking the right pass. Peps got some team talk to do. Big 45 mins coming up or title is gone.

 

[kanovic]

I don’t know what is worse watching us play or read some of the stuff here lol.

 

[colorado blue]

Watching replay of save from Sergio. That was an excellent save....ugh

 

[mccity]

Leicester will tire I reckon

 

[argyle]

Aguero barely pressing Schmeichel allows him the time to pick a pass. When pressed he messes up, just fucking do it. In general extremely poor offensive display. Final pass missing. Not sure if down to luck but Leicester keep getting saved by rebounds that bounce in their benefit.

Yep, Aguero not helping with his jogging around the pitch and half hearted press.

Bernardo shows yet again how to do it.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Wanted a few early goals, but no way that was happening. This is torture.

 

[Gabriel]

Sterling is not tracking back as much, so Zinchenko has a lot of work to do, which means you might as well have Sane there.

 

[Baconsane]

Was hoping against a repeat of the Burnley game. 1-0 will do it, but don't think my ticker, or sphincter will take it.

Haven't seen a team play out from the back against us like Leicester are doing in a long time. Playing like Barcelona.

Not really, just passing it in their own box and then hoofing it up after 6 passes.

 

[super_city_si]

Leicester is the best ball possession team I've seen at ours this season.

yes coupled with a very defensive shape, they are going to be difficult to beat. Patience is the key.

 

[bluemoon32]

Huge 45 mins coming up, our whole season rests on this 2nd half.
Come City, we're going to do it !!!

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

come on lads.....still time to get this done! Foden having a tough game! Think we need to take him off and bring Sane on!! Come on City!!!

 

[Blue Llama]

Sterling woeful and Foden needs taking off.

Should have never started him the occasion is too big.

There is no room for Sane to run onto the ball, not his game until the 70th minute.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

worst first half for months....making it hard for ourselves again by not scoring in the 1st half. No composure in and around the box, do we practice shooting from the edge of the box? Foden looks scared, D Silva been poor as well. Our midfield is creating nothing, no good passes into the box, no incisive through balls.
Seriously need more pace in the 2nd half.

 

[Ken92]

Oh how i miss our 3-4 goal victories.Foden seemed to be pretty nervous on the pitch.Let´s get the job done please!

 

[This CITY is OURS 14]

Sane on for merlin, jesus for foden late on needed, we need to get round the back more.

 

[Dax777]

Yet the Leicester player cleans out Raz in the box after getting the ball just like Vinny and it’s a great tackle.

The issue is the consistency and if it’s a foul anywhere else in the pitch then they can’t suddenly say it’s not in the box nor is it a booking.

It wasn’t a penalty but Vinny wasn’t a booking either as he got the ball clearly.

It wasn't the same. Though it wasn't a yellow or a foul as Vinny's foot grazed the ball just before bringing down Madison, it was harder to tell for a ref. The other one by Ndidi was easy to tell. He tackled the ball and changed the direction of the ball before contact with Raz.

 

[bluefandk]

all nerves.

 

[razman]

Sane off maybe around 60 minutes ?
