Match Thread | Man City vs Leicester (27/09/20)

[Keeper!]

“Not fully fit”. Again. Somehow.

The man is a disgrace and people take the piss out of Garcia and JFE

Mendy is now responsbile for other players performances; the agenda some people have against certain players is laughable!

Mendy made Walker give away a stupid penalty. How? By existing

 

[vintiz]

I thought Pep was one of the best coaches in the world, mmmmm?

Fuck off

Vardy is constantly playing off Garcia. He has actually done well overall, but Walker takes the risk he does because he knows that Garcia isn’t getting to Vardy before the shot comes in.

The warning signs were there long before the goal. You need your centre-half pair to have pace if you play as high a line as we do against the likes of Vardy. This is why signing Dias is so baffling to me. He doesn’t do anything to address this very obvious defensive defect.
Also do you ever remember us having holding midfielders with pace? With any manager?
You can say that we’re playing to our weaknesses, but the way we play isn’t going to change under Pep. The lack of pace at CB is made worse by the two holding midfielders in front of them. Again, looks like we won’t be addressing that either...

You do realize the year we won with kompany his partner most games was otamendi? Those two have zero pace and our defense was solid as hell. Idk why everyone talks about pace. If you have a defender that can read the game good you don’t need pace.

Do you really think an armband makes that much difference?

I think you are sending a statement of how you plan to use that player and his role in the first team yes. You don't name a captain to be a bit part player.

For who?

Kids team

Should have dumped the whining after last year. He's been healthy and responsible for long enough now to prove his worth. And we are going to require him to have a great year.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Need to find a way to grind a victory out now.

The more we tire the more they'll create, so another 2 might be required.

 

[WestGorton]

Definitely injuries now too many. Still believe Pep can get us a win.

 

[Gray]

He shouldn’t have started. He’s young and has legs but this is too much football and he put in a shift in the first two.

They constantly monitor players fitness these days, if his had dropped off then he wouldn’t be playing. Even the greatest players have bad games.
