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

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

Agree on Dias. Looks uncomfortable playing on his own in the centre. He's taking 3 touches when one will do.

Standard pre-world cup performance so far.

We’ll be dropping two points if we don’t buck up.

Quiet? Fans in good voice. Any digs with these cunts

Awful that, slow and turgid, badly missing kev

 

[SidJames]

Without Kev and Gundogan there's not enough creativity. Grealish needs to vary his game much more and Mahrez has offered nothing. Haaland doesn't look sharp though we've given him nothing feed off. A weakened WHU have found it relatively easy going so far.

Dont know why dont we try Grealish in KDB postion.

He is doing fuck all stuck out wide wasted running around in circles then making a shit pass .

The precision is poor but I can’t see West Ham lasting the full 90 without letting one in.

We have made enough inroads into the last third but the final ball is too often just hit in hope.

Bernie the culprit a few times.
Alvarez? I love him, but he hasn’t got a great touch in tight space and he can’t pass it 3 yards.

We’re missing the understanding of Kev and Erling, but I do believe the chance will come. Just put one away and it will open up.

Patience boys n gals - trust in the process wet spam have worked v hard and 6o mins it’ll come

So poor. No pace, no width on the right (I mean WTF is Mahrez doing) and absolutely no ability of anyone in midfield to take the ball on the half turn like KDB does. Alverez doesn't do that because as a forward his first intention is to protect from the defender who isn't even near him. Alverez off, Mahrez off, Stones back to Centre Half and Walker and Ake to push on. Foden and Gundogan to go on.

Alvarez, Mahrez and Haaland have been nonexistant so far, that entire half was basically Jack and Bernardo combining on the left then a cross straight to a West Ham player, we need to vary our play in the second half, still have plenty of time.

 

[blue cigar]

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

So ass? What the fuck does that mean? He is a one man right flank, no support, no overlaps nothing, he isn't the problem but yeh, let's blame him anyway
