Match Thread | Man City vs West Ham (03/05/23)

[Nightmare Walking]

Mahrez is not the problem. It's the fact there is no one within 20 yards of him when he receives the ball. We have absolutely nothing in the inside right channel and no one over lapping Mahrez. Swapping Foden for Mahrez will not make any difference.

Hate when we play at this tempo. Kills the atmosphere.

Dias is the main offender. Other than Mahrez, who is fucking wank.

 

[Bluewars]

Not a single of switch of play to Mahrez in the entire first half.

I wonder why...

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Feels like the Komps Leicester game.

Exactly what I was thinking too.

 

[yankblue]

Unpopular - but Alvarez is the problem in this set up.

I agree and I also think Bernie has been poor in his decision making but this is the match thread so I will instead blame Mahrez

 

[City10.]

Mahrez is so ass. I can’t believe there are people eho rate him

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

I’d piss myself (and be delighted) if mahrez scores an early goal 2nd half. Doubt pep will sub him

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Endlessly chipping it into the box from out wide and being cleared every time. I wish Mahrez or Jack would just have a run at them

 

[SebastianBlue]

One of our worst halves all season.

Nah, there have been much worse.

We haven’t actually played badly, we just seem to lose ambition and/or composure when we get free in their box.

We’ve been in behind three or four times and fluffed all of them. And Kyle, Jack, and Riyad are refusing to pass forward to an open man in the centre when we get a bit of space on the counter. Jack has been especially tentative when he gets the ball.

Mahrez poor on Sunday and dogshit so far tonight.
Phil brings energy Pep, you know what to do
