Match Thread | Man City vs. Sheff Utd (30/12/23)

[colorado blue]

Football is a game of fine margins, to expect to trounce everyone with no challenge is arrogant. Just be happy we are winning.

Sheff u are packing the middle. They are very organized under Wilder, I like we take some long shots to keep things mixed up.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Lots of passing but nothing really going up top.

Look a bit toothless again.

Some really sloppy passes have let Sheffield in a few times too.

 

[SamBlue]

Keep doing the same in the second half and have a few more shots from 20 yards.
Just when you think you encountered an ultra defensive formation there is the ultra ultra one. This is like WHU from Arsenal game on steroids. Bernardo and Grealish particularly haven't done enough individually.
I hope the crowd doesn't get nervous, smash another one and we can go on auto-pilot then.

 

[Gabriel]

I love jack but wish he would go on the outside of his fullback just to mix it up

Is that not what he did in the reverse fixture when Haaland scored? Little point today as the Hobbits in the box are unlikely to get a sniff until the game opens up.

 

[Metal Biker]

Ederson is lazy, Ake nervous, Akanji accident prone, Walker useless, Gvardiol costing us, Grealish off it, Silva all over the place, Rodri should be off, Kovacic shouldn't have started, Foden doing nothing, and Alvarez misses too many chances.

That about right, O soothesayers of the match day thread..?

I mean fucking hell, guys, what team do you WANT to put out?!

 

[br88]

This game craves for a Doku...someone who is prepared to take a player on and run at him. Players taking the easy pass option all the time. Rodri ran forward and we scored the goal.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Get the points. Manage the game and job is done.

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

SS3 giving it a go to create some atmosphere in a tedious game. Even the away fans have gone quiet....

Thought you were serious at first

we have had such a rich diet, it's little wonder expectations are so high, like i am expecting us to be better second half, if we dont then tough shit....:)
