Match Thread | Manchester City vs Shakhtar Donetsk (26/09/17)

We need an extra midfielder on.

I can't help but feel that whilst Pep knew exactly how good Shakhtar were, the players didn't.

We looked a little shocked at times in the first half.

Stones has been good.

I think I agree, the passing options right now are a little short, we usually have more options and can run a team more ragged. Maybe too many strict attackers right now, I feel like this match is begging for Sterling

Gundogan on for silva or kdb

been a very interesting first half and been quite even at times. We have had the better of the chances so far and should be ahead. Sane started off slow but has motored into the match in the last 15 minutes, Silva been strangely quiet....I'd take off a striker and bring on another midfielder as they are getting the ball through us far too easily

I'd take Silva off. Need something different.

Course you would.

 

[Bluemanc100]

Raz for Jesus and Gundogan for Silva.

Good shout

 

[City Raider]

Another under the radar team. Obviously a very good side but we're not at it. Look hesitant.

Think Merlin is being shackled tonight.
They are a good team - comfortable on the ball.

Up tempo and press properly is all we need,blitz them with some energy
That will be a million quid please city

Let’s hope we win this as a draw would be a set back considering the games against Napoli coming up,especially after Shakhtar beating them in the first set of games..

Is it me or has Delph looked better than Walker?

My 12 year old would outclass Walker today
