Match Thread | Man City vs Lyon (15/08/20)

[SWP's back]

Foden on for Rodri is the obvious sub

Dinho. Booked and a foul since.

 

[heslops barnet]

Fernandinho is finished at this level

has been for a while to be honest

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Thank god I'm drunk!

[01cravend]

Got pelters in the pre-match thread for saying Pep needs to stop with the experiments.

 

[jimharri]

Probably a lot of them at the match...

And during the rest of the week?

Embarassingly bad, sort it out Pep ffs, earn your money

 

[Gabriel]

This has been the most bizarre action of the half. We’ve done it too many times for it to not be instructed. It’s just madness. We have replaced our usual game with the kind of percentage balls that Ranieri’s Leicester would have played.

Has the idea been to tire them out by running the pitch large,with a hope of catching them out later? May yet happen, but a goalkeeping calamity looks our best bet of levelling.

 

[Damanino]

This is when managers have to earn their money Can Pep wake the team up and change formation to win the game?

But make n mistake one half vs Bayern like this we showed up here would end very ugly for us.

If Gundogan is supposed to be the most advanced CM he's hiding it well. Either Silva should be on at HT to get into the opposition area.
