I'd like to see Gundo on for Berny, Mahrez off and move Foden to the right and get Jack on the left.

What does pep actually need to do here ??

I’m at a loss. We might as well take haaland off if we don’t cross it for him. This is a big issue right now for us

Fingers crossed the cycle ain't coming to an end and this lot aint trying to throw pep under a bus

Utd have one game plan stop us & long ball. We are helping them sadly.

Lack of energy, movement & poor passing causing all of our own issues.

Strange game so far. Every city player are off it recently which makes no sense either.

Wouldn’t mind seeing Grealish & Alvarez soon

Alvarez yes

People always worried we’d centre the passing or chances around Haaland but I don’t think they have to worry as that doesn’t happen.

Sloppy passing, not testing their keeper, not really using the wings. Still 45+ mins but a lot needs to improve.

All it's have had to do is pack the middle of the pitch, stops us playing.

Yes. We don’t get the ball wide. Our wide players are “decoys” and United know it. So flog they middle of the park where the danger would come from and City look clueless. We’ve barely Ben able to string a pass to our wide players. Mahrez and Foden have been very quiet.

Frequency and scale of negativity hear is something else... we play Utd away, this has never been easy fixture, bar maybe last season away game, but its still hard game. From my poinf of view we were better team first half, even though they had better chances - nonetheless element of control is hear missed very often. Foden and Mahrez had poor half, many has decent game

lets see second half

 

[B\connellblue]

This ref giving us nothing

Maybe not but he's not the one that has us playing like this. We added the most sought after striker in the world to an already title winning squad and this is what we are serving up. It's rubbish

 

[Blue Potato]

Rodri been excellent, Cancelo decent as well

Hard going against a team playing at home with 8 straight wins but with everyone behind the ball. Is that 135 minutes now without a single shot on target ?

It is. Theyve man marked kev and filled the midfield. playing like west brom but its doing ok for them so far.
