Match Thread | Man City vs Sevilla - Super Cup (16/08/23)

We are in desperate need of a dead ball specialist for free kicks. Lost Mahrez, Gundo and now Kdb.

Don't think we've played that bad. A bit unlucky sometimes in where the ball has landed in the box, not running for us. Fair dos, good defending and good goal for them. I'm sure Pep will work it out. Turn our possession and trying to get past the packed defence into a goal.

good game to try out McAtee, Gomez, Lewis, and Philips.

Apart from the goal Gvardiol has been great, his passing is immense so positive.

Sometimes there’s not a lot you can do about certain goals. That cross was utterly perfect and the lad’s jump wasn’t being beaten if Aké had got on Gvardiol’s shoulders.

That had to come from further up the pitch and stopping the side ball and stopping the cross.

The heat is obviously a factor. They play in it all the time

Jurgen Klopp, is it you?

Phil needs to step up ,this is the type of game crying out for his quality and creativity , we have dominated the last 20 minutes and should be winning this , no chance Seville will survive a 2nd half onslaught their luck will run out

Kovacic had a good half. Gvardiol looks classy. The rest a bit average.

You mean the same players that won the treble last season?

 

[bluemoon32]

Grealish literally our best player of the first half. Stop making yourself look stupid

Nowhere near

Ake's man. You can see him going after him for ten seconds and losing the header in the end. Gvardiol just tried to help out at the last second. Gvardiol is at left back, not CB/RCB. That can't be on him. That's how I see it anyway.

It was poor from Gvardiol, I’m hoping I’m not expecting too much from him too soon

P.S. I don't really blame Nate here anyway, it was a perfect cross/header, it happens.

Lovely player and he said "fuck off " when he was told he could have his first year off whilst he worked out Peps tactics.
Great buy

I was not excited by the signing, but based on this I'm wrong and I'm very glad to be.
