Match Thread | Man City vs. Plymouth (01/03/25)

[jrb]

Apologies from the South stand.

We fell asleep watching City pass it backwards and sideways for 45 minutes.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

We're slow and more than a little bit boring, but at least we're not the scousers

 

[eyalluvitt]

Mcmannaman heard his dog was put down on 45+1 minutes

 

[Twisted-wheel]

As usual nowhere near as bad as some of the idiots on the match day thread say, Plymouth defending well and inevitably score from aa corner we didn’t need to concede.

1-1 far from a fair reflection at half time

So you honestly think that first half is acceptable? Beat in mind it’s the only competition we are in now and this lot are given a chance to fight for their place and their future. Can accept drawing/losing but it’s how you do it, my opinion there is too many lame, half arsed performances.

Some wet wipes in here. Would love to have seen this match day thread back under Pearce or worse

They wouldn’t have been here under Pearce. They’d have been watching behind their slur Alex duvets

 

[samuelyeboah]

I would just suggest putting mcatee up top instead of phil. he's a natural goalscorer.

 

[vanchi]

It’s not bed wetting that we will get beat, it’s the abject lack of pride and effort from millionaires

you really think they don’t care? i think
they simply can’t.

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Worst team at attacking and defending corners in world football......you'll never sing that

 

[OntarioBlue]

Put a fucking striker on second half and let’s put this to bed ffs

Alternatively we could just ask Grealish, Foden and Bernardo to make a contribution. All three of them have done eff all.

 

[Keeper!]

Vitor Reis looks a quality player, some spring on him

Is that the dude off pointless???

 

[Stoned Rose]

I’m sorry but that was a fucking diabolical first half performance no matter how you dress it up.

Macatee is letting his city career dissolve. He just doesn’t impose himself at all and he was completely taking the piss for their goal.

Somebody needs to grip of this game and start running it. This is Plymouth not Real Madrid FFS.

 

[borassic]

What a fucking surprise. Another dog shit performance with Gundo, silva and KDB on the pitch! What is pep thinking !

 

[lee one pen]

If we can add a couple of pacy fullbacks this summer, that defence will look ok. Well impressed with Reis, looks like a top athlete.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Awful half but not unexpected with that line up. We have been nowhere good enough all season to think we can rest that number of players, even against this level of opposition.

Our right hand side is as bad as anything we could put out. Rico and Bernie in tandem is diabolically bad. It offers absolutely nothing in defence or attack.

Our midfield is offering nothing.

It’s just a really poor performance against what is a really bad Plymouth side.

Make 3 or 4 changes and we probably win this 4 or 5-1 but nobody should forget just how bad that 1st half was.

 

[N1985]

Don't think we've played that bad. Good chances, hit post, couple of decent saves. Another day were 3 up.

Definitely playing within ourselves with another 4 gears to go. Good game

Don’t be so stupid

 

[SWPISHOME]

Only positive out of that half was Nico goal.

Poor performance, No legs in midfield and no threat in wide areas.

The goal they scored was pathetic, Ortega and Reis not communicating and gave away a needless corner that resulted in a goal.

We had McAtee marking the tallest man on the pitch, We did the same a few weeks ago with Rico Lewis marking Van Dijk...It's beggars belief that we actually "pay" this set piece coach.

Get the big boys on and get the fucking job done and stop fucking about.

That would be too easy ;)
