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

[CrownPointBlue]

We need guile & pace in midfield & pace & trickery out right.

Move the ball much much faster.

 

[Damanino]

Lyon had one chance and no matter how crazy shot needed to be made by Cornet he did score with that. One chance, one goal.

No doubt 2nd half we will start playing percentages with making 20+ crosses probably all of a short Jesus and maybe even shorter Sterling.

 

[NWCherries]

Not the best half, but you don’t even need to be playing well to get back into it, as the last 10 minutes showed. This game has Atlanta/PSG written all over it imo.

 

[gomer27]

Watching their goal back and Fernandinho, Laporte and Walker all criminally negligent. Garcia was the only one even remotely switched on

Walker is a frustrating player, lazy bastard at times

 

[NanaToure42]

Dinho off and Foden on

Foden, Mahrez or Bernardo. Any of those 3 and a change of shape and we'll win this.

 

[King Jay]

Nice midfield Pep. Fernandinho, Rodri and Gundogan that‘s Barça like.

 

[RayCTID]

I'm not normally one to criticise the manager, but what the fuck is he thinking? Fernandinho's legs are long gone too

Being too clever. Another one is Garcia (although he is blameless for their goal)

 

[deano ou812]

Yep he set the precedent with that lineup.
We should be confident to setup to win, not to contain.

Exactly I’m not actually that bothered no ranting at tv as Munich lie in wait,and although I have said we can beat them not a chance on this showing or with pep overthinking it,strange thing is did pep ever change Barca or Munich formation when up against an inferior team ..

 

[I'm Blue]

He better change it now.
Isn't working, so no point in starting the second half the same way.

 

[colorado blue]

Surely Pep makes a sub a at ht. Whats the rules on subs?
