Come on City they're starting to buckle

never was convinced about this 442, getting overrun too often.

This is how I feel too. 442 feels like a counter attacking formation but we don't have a counter attacking side on the pitch, we are playing too slow so the positive of having two strikers is cancelled out as we never get forward quick enough for them to be a danger. So we only really get the negative part of a 442 which is a 2 man midfield.

We either need more pace in attack so we can counter effectively or we need to drop a player in midfield to help build the attacks more patiently.

Navas and Aguero would love this game.

obviously great to be ahead but flippin' Nora, not exactly our greatest performance at home

 

[Blue Haze]

Very pleased with 1-0 after that half.

Good score after not such good half. Still miles of our best.

Nasri MoM so far.

I was just about to say he's been shocking.

Given the ball away constantly, offered nothing going forward, slowed play down when we looked dangerous. I'd replace him with Milner or Navas immediately,

tyler sounds disappointed..

Ha!

Just like last year. Teams will have to get through the first 15-20 minutes where Liverpool comes out swinging. Do that and win. Most teams won't be able to though. They just go so hard from the beginning.
