Match Thread | Man City vs. Sparta Prague (23/10/24)

We are just not ruthless or quick enough anymore. Injuries or not we are playing the same. Be nice to see a plan B & just go long sometimes.

We are almost beating ourselves every game.

Not playing bad but not really doing anything

How do we go long when there’s no space?

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Best players for me so far Nathan, Phil, Rico, Bernie and Nunes ( when he has had the ball).

Urgency needed ffs..

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

This 3 at the back system seems to make us more vulnerable defensively and incredibly slow and uncreative up front.

One of many….

Someone send pep the fanny wipes gif.

The ubiquitous low block by the opposition is so frustrating. Pep annoyed quite rightly.

Not sure there’s a simple answer to breakdown packed defences

We've been doing it for years. Just slowly getting worse at it(lack of Rodri and Kev obviously playing a big part). Not really creating anything clearcut for Haaland.

Do think teams have found a system that city really struggle against. 5 4 1 break with pace. We are so so so slow with the ball it’s boring watching us at times tbh

I was thinking a few minutes ago it’s very nice in here tonight.

And then it started.

I never read the matchthread. Just pop in to call everyone wankers and back to watching it.

But this is dull.

 

[pudge]

The lead is the important thing but fuck me that's another 45 minutes of dross. Seen more movement from Christopher Reeve, don't understand the plan at all these days

 

[Blu1]

I really believe using something different to haaland would help us. He just doesn’t suit this game. Use foden as top man & get Kova on. Pep just won’t drop haaland
