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

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Mentally weak in the champions league at times.

I disagree. We’re hamstrung by the ridiculous line up.
Best midfielder in the world playing as a false 9. He needs to be controlling the midfield. Just ridiculous by Pep this

Quite infuriating watching Fernandinho continually playing long balls over the top to De Bruyne out wide, how can that be the plan? Yet we keep trying it. Hard to get your head around these tactics.

Commentators absolutely wanking all over Lyon

Fernandinho needs to get off the pitch NOW and not in the 70th minutes. If this manager understands that he's majorly fucked up, he needs to change it N-O-W.

Dinho off for Foden at the half and play our normal 4-3-3.

 

[kun]

Fernandinho and Gündogan off for Mahrez and Foden at HT please Pep

 

[Uffa]

How were Lyon 12-1?

In a one match tie with our record in Champions League quarter finals it seems generous for the team that knocked out Juve.

If you'd seen their latest game against us you wouldn't be surprised by those odds. They seem to be able to play a bit better today.

 

[Dr Bolouswki]

I wonder how Pep expects us to win with only 3 players attacking?

 

[Bombo]

Rodri a passenger in this formation no impact at all

 

[Beanhead]

Get Fern off at half time.
