Match Thread | Man City vs. West Ham (04/01/25)

[FromPollockToSilva]

Kova has terrible judgement in those situations. You’re never winning the ball from there fella

 

[give it to gordon]

Do you honestly think a gimp like him could have such an impact?

Yes it always took Phil a few ga.es to get back to his City performances after the international break. This time he has had injuries and been poorly so taking longer

 

[Zenmanc]

Starting Lewis is like playing a man down

 

[Chak19]

Again we're just lucky we're playing against a shite team, a good team would've scored 3 or 4 already.

 

[Don Karleone]

We're winning, all I care about right now.

 

[Bluewars II]

No midfield. Silva isn’t doing anything today

He's been awful for a while.

 

[1961_vintage]

We slow the ball down far too much. No movement or speed. The passing is atrocious.

We used to play in triangles and quick passing now it’s all but meh…

Someone's took the batteries out.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Still can't believe how bad we are

 

[dhruvblue]

They are probing
Need to be careful

Who the fuck is this scouse prick co commentator on optus 2.
Sounds like his got the microphone half way down his neck

Osman or Warnock I want to say.

 

[Blu1]

Kev is too slow yes he can
Sometimes create but at the expense of no legs in midfield

Rico has too much pressure on him with his role

Foden should not be playing

3 players not at it 100% =our performance

 

[blueballs84]

Good to see the players all took their Xanax before the game. Calms the nerves.....

 

[Blueknows]

No yellow..ridiculous.

Especially going off his earlier booking

 

[Dax777]

Bernie, Kev and Kova have no recovery speed

Kova does

 

[super_city_si]

Cant string 2 passes together. Results apart we seem to be getting worse

 

[Chak19]

Kova's passing has been total dogshite.

 

[King Jay]

Txiki will wait until the end of month before going for a midfielder.

 

[dubblue]

Nothing has really improved,had Leicester been at the races last week they would have beaten us.

 

[Damanino]

its not great that the tactics builts in a way so our CBs having most of the ball and most touches (while Haaland the least touches). the most passive, least dangerous players with most time on the ball. this is just worse with our lack of energy and speed drop off in last 18 months.

add to that Kova and Lewis are occupying the def midfield area and they arent very good imo in this role as they are more likely to slow our build up with passes to the CBs than clever and quick passing with purpose to build attacks.

Get yer chequebook out, Txiki
