Match Thread | Man City vs West Ham (27/02/21)

[Gabriel]

Torres doesn’t look physically strong enough yet. Got the technique but until he bulks up and takes a few knocks, we won’t see his best.

Fkn sick of these commentators on bt twats

Yeah, “hopefully” says the co-commentator at the end of the half talking about West Ham having more succcess second half.
Hopefully their goal will be the wake up call we need.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Terrible that last 15 minutes. Aguero, Torres, KDB, all not keeping possession.

Press is non existent and build-up so laboured.

What the fuck is Eddie playing at, some of his distribution so far has been reckless.

 

[wolviedinho]

Very poor half. This was always going to be tough. Early changes second half needed to control the game. Bernie, Cancelo and Foden. The changes are killing our passing today.

 

[eastmanc]

Pep needs to put Bernie and Phil on. Not enough legs in the side. KDB‘s passing in the first half has been poor. Come on you Blues lets up it.

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

Playing with lead in our boots today. 2-3 HT subs needed.

Had a feeling we will drop points today.

 

[paulchapo]

We’ve had more possession but they’ve been the better team. Must be about 3-7 in shots to them?

We look very much like a rusty unit that hasn’t played together. Like a first game of the season performance.

The thing is, these players need game time, they need the minutes, so it’s up to them to do something.

Too many changes with two of those players who've not played in ages due to injury and Torres who hardly plays and is a kid. We might get away with it against a bottom half side but this is a strong fit motivated West Ham side in fourth place.

This team looks like it was on a plane in the early hours Thursday...

 

[PragueBlue]

Poor first half. Front 6 seemed to be in a competition to see who could give the ball away the most. Lack of movement and pressing too. We're missing that ball retention that the rested players give us plus the work rate off the ball.

It's a game we should win but only if we sharpen our passing up and get a bit more movement in midfield and up front.

 

[urban genie]

You can tell they are the second best team on form atm, they are playing well.
Not had many starts so not his fault but torres off the ball offers nowt where sterling /jesus/ foden/berny would be involved all over the field Mahrez the same tbh, but thats normal for him.

Really misisng milkn2s energy levels in midfield
