Match Thread | Man City vs West Ham (27/02/19)

You must be in the west stand. On this side he is doing OK.

SS3. Nowhere near his best though and De Bruyne is worse. They need to shape up. Kun is getting seriously pissed off with De Bruyne tonight.

 

[Mr.Feeny]

KDB has been poor this season.

A shadow of his former self

Injury or attitude? I'm not sure

At what point does the injury stop being an excuse though? Or rust? He has been fit for quite a while and has had more than enough matches to get up to match fitness and shake off any rust. And he's still off-color. Forget about reaching last season's heights. He is playing like a scrub at the moment. He just needs to get back to a decent level.

At the moment, he and Silva (the 2 best players last season, probably) are both struggling. It's difficult to be as dominant when both have bad games. And recently, they're both having bad games at the same time.

11 Shots 1 on target

Plenty of chances, just frustrating lackadaisical finishing.

When you make 5 changes all the cohesion and telepathy goes.
As i always say, when missing 2 or three key players you dont willingly weaken yourself further by rotating.madness.

Couldn't agree more
But If we can

11 Shots 1 on target

shows that we are snatching at it - get more on target and it'll be ok

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

I want him to do well, but dent to his confidence or not, Mahrez has got to come off here, before the crowd really turns on him. Having another absolute shocker

 

[Silva&Silva]

Fans need to get off Mahrez's back and give him some encouragement. Big big second half coming up...

 

[FSD]

Up in SS3 myself and atmosphere is so so flat. Yawn.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Why don't the wide men try to get behind the defence , endless pull backs and hopeful looping crosses does not work.

 

[SebastianBlue]

He’s right though the goalies have not made a save . Lots of possession and shots but not testing the keeper

Hardly “barely a sniff”, though, is it.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Nice early goal 2nd half would be just champion
