Leroy about to run at chelmsford should win.

Fkn 2nd , meh!

 

[bobmcfc]

That was a tad shite

 

[homerdog]

A bit complacent so far.

 

[somethingelse]

guys need to wake up,wake up guys this isnt a replay of last season ,you have to make things happen again

 

[super_city_si]

Ok I guess I mean we are not getting in behind.

I agree. I think we're missing the third midfielder. We have no interplay around their area. I dare say gundogan maybe of use here.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Mahrez off Bernardo on Senor Pep

 

[kaz7]

Changing a winning team with a new formation with benny too far foward

 

[aguero93:20]

Anyway, Bernardo and Gundogan need on for Silva and Jesus.

pretty meh 1st half, problems brought on ourselves by some sloppy use of the ball in their half. Mahrez is struggling to make a positive impact
Their goal was well taken but we gifted the ball in their half again. We just look a bit lightweight and short in central midfield at the moment. Raz playing well.

One attempt and they score!

tried to point this out today when people were talking about us having the best defensive record last season.....we did but the quality of chances that we do give (more so now playing with the 3 at the back) are so high that teams need very few chances to score.....they don't have many opportunities to score hence our good goals against column but we often concede when there is a chance and it only takes one goal to lose points.

We have been extremely sloppy all over the pitch and Mahrez just doesn't look like he fits at present....done nothing.

Sterling is the only one playing reasonably well

Mendy is so unaware defensively its disturbing!
