Match Thread | Man City vs. Man United (15/12/24)

[Bluemoonie92]

The viking has to be doing more, and looking for a penalty at corners, spotty is all over him

He is on his own most of the time tbf

 

[jimharri]

True but I remember a player falling down and getting Rodri sent off and pundits were saying he was clever.

Pundits; yeah. I hate seeing City players doing it. Same with waving imaginary yellow cards.

 

[SamBlue]

Considering we are at home and playing really poor team - if that can be called the team - 0.5/10 performance, 10/10 luck, 10/10 header. 2nd half cannot be more mediocre, can it?

 

[roach3]

I don’t pop in the match day threads much and I’m glad I don’t because we have some absolute wankers supposedly supporting us judging by constant vitriol aimed at the players. Fuck off and I’m fucking off this thread never to return.

Bet your Mrs loves you

 

[PragueBlue]

Haven't been at our best on the ball by a long way but have looked reasonably solid when defending.

Foden has looked a bit more lively and has had a few shots. I know KDB hasn't got the legs/energy that he had before but some of his passing and crossing has been awful, same for Gundogan. Doku is as he always is and we haven't really got Bernardo into the game. Nunes has done ok is his LB role.

Seems strange that when out of possession Foden is pulling wide and Doku moving central but they then switch positions when we have the ball.

Far from vintage City but if we can keep plugging away and avoid mistakes at the back, we should win this.

 

[heslops barnet]

If we can stay within 6 points of the dippers and we can get 2 midfielders January. We have good opportunity of catching them.

Being slightly optimistic there……..

 

[mcfc_ms]

Nunes at left back has a similar style and feel as Cancelo.

Just without the moody bits

 

[CTID1988]

Grealish and Kovacic on 2nd half please Josep

 

[kaz7]

Dont care how we are playing , we desperately need to win and get some confidence back . I think we need to score early as i think they will blitz it from 75 mins

 

[Really_here]

We need to try and get the ball in their box and take a chance more often rather than keep recycling looking for the perfect opening. When we get in the box they're panicking.

 

[Haaland94]

I love Gundo, but he shouldn't be starting for us this season. Impact sub, nothing else at this stage of his career.

 

[borassic]

Foden dragging us through this. He’s been ace

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I think the simple change of Grealish for Gundo sees us get a grip of this and see it out.

Surely we’d need Kovacic on the pitch if Gundo is coming off. Gundo is the 6, we aren’t going to play any of Jack, KDB or Bernardo there.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

How do the rags have 47% possession and almost as many passes as we do? Hasn’t felt like it.

 

[dublin-blue]

If we can stay within 6 points of the dippers and we can get 2 midfielders January. We have good opportunity of catching them.

They're only 2 injuries away from a dodgy run of their own. Assuming we can keep up and strengthen then the etihad game could mean a lot.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Not great but definitely not awful.

Just giving the ball away a bit too easily and a few players not really involved. Walker is giving Dalot the freedom of Manchester on the wing.

Lovely move and header for the corner. More please

I'd take it being even more mediocre

 

[Goldust]

Exactly add a right back and another forward.

 

[Frank the Yank]

I mean they spent 1B so that should not be a surprise

So have the Rags..

Yeah, love the guy but you'd think he was 54 not 34
