Too many misplaced passes……… again

Does pep not look at this and think we offer no goal threat whatsoever when we play like this. Who knows.

Stop Kev and you stop Haaland and City . Simple as that.

Having a single focal point has made us worse.
Single point of failure.

observations :

1. rodri is so important and the best player in the team atm
2. defense has actually been fine generally
3. pep has done all he can today, the team is right and the instructions are good - unbelievably shit individual performances are fucking us.

 

[bluemc1]

I’d stick Bernardo front left, get Foden off and stick gundo in the middle
Not creating anything
Very low on confidence and scared of losing it, just resulting in players making the easiest option and it’s just constantly working it’s way back to Ake and Akanji

 

[Chi-town blues]

Rodri has been fantastic, cancleo has loads of space and getting on ball but foden needs to run behind waspisstaker.

 

[snorky]

If Walker keeps pushing so far we are going to get done on that side.
And start passing to each other lads!

Thought we improved as the half wore on. But we’re massively hamstrung by our two best creative players (Foden and De Bruyne) being miles off it, and Mahrez not being much better. All giving it away so cheaply.

 

[feelymcfeel]

Pretty poor first half overall. Grew into it and looked to be turning the screw a bit in the last 5, but passing all over the park was pretty shit. Need to give their heads a wobble for the 2nd half and get their collective acts together.

 

[ManCityGR!]

Our pace is ZERO.Most players seem to be fatigue. World Cup effect? Who knows....
KDB and Foden are unbelievably bad!! I mean come on!
Silva not too sharp either.
Our concentration is poor also. Too many wrong passes for no reason.
As for the formation, I don't see any problem with it, its normal.
