Match Thread | Manchester City vs Lyon (19/09/18)

[@BluePhil8]

I can't believe anyone is actually so stupid they think Sterling, the only player who has looked like he might do something, should come off.

Looked like doing something without actually doing anything. I look forward to the 4/5 cock ups in this half and then when he scores one out of 10 you can say I told you so.

I'm not fussy though, half the team deserve to be subbed.

Gabriel jesus has never looked the part to me . Over hyped would be an understatement.

 

[goatersnipple]

We just look shattered

Shattered????.
Surely they cant be.
We look clueless.

And this Lyon is miles behind that PSG we seen yesterday. Yet they are causing us all sorts of problems and 2-0 up.

yep, are they 7th in the French league - certainly not playing that way

 

[warringtonblue]

Surely the lack of central midfielders isn't becoming a problem already?

Not too many options to change it around there with De Bruyne out.

Bernardo has been our best player this season, get him back in the middle, Gundo off and Sane on the left

 

[Damanino]

There were some reports Pep was so angry at the missed chances in the Fulham game he canceled the day off for players. And then we come up with this 45 minutes straight after that?

 

[blueinsa]

Liverpool will bum us again at Anfield, just so poor in that middle.

Not like you to mention Liverpool.

You are not even fucking subtle with it!

 

[Raggi01]

Am i the only one who thinks jesus has somewhat regressed? He's been anonymous, although our midfield hasn't been giving him much to work with

 

[BlueAnorak]

Hmmmm Middlesbrough?

That way over 10 years ago - or did you miss the 10 year anniversary?

 

[wattle]

Inverted wingers don’t work either

They can work when you’ve got Mendy giving width and flying on but not when Delph plays. Is it me or is that just basic? Oh well. Good one to win from here

 

[kalouk]

I'm shocked, not that we're losing that happens but that we are playing so badly!!

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Too much tinkering, said this last season in the UCL game against Liverpool and I am saying it again today, DO NOT RE-INVENT THE FUCKING WHEEL! Once again Pep's "philosophy" is proving to be his biggest enemy in the UCL.

[richards30]

Gundogan and Jesus off with sane and aguero on! Move sterling right and Bernardo central.

 

[bert38]

Inverted wingers don’t work either

Grips my shit

 

[Benarbia]

Shattered????.

Little rest after the World Cup - the demands pep puts on them in training etc

 

[idahoblues]

City to score 3 in second half

 

[nellyonthewing]

Bernardo Silva doing a good impression of the invisible man as is Gab..
Fact is no KDB is really hurting in games like this. Sadly Jesus really offers little up front on his own.

 

[urban genie]

Lyon have harased what looks like a disjointed midfield, fern getting no support is getting over run.

lkay and jesus off

Sane and sergio on move berny inside and sterling to the other flank

 

[Aussie!]

Arteta out!!!!

LOL! (btw, I didnt know Pep wasnt even allowed to give the half time team talk aswell .. wtf?)
