Match Thread | Manchester City Vs Sunderland (13/08/16)

Very LVG like, possession with a lack of penetration, only difference is we could probably turn it on at will, I feel Pep wants the lads to get accustomed so is happy with it working out like a training exercise if we are in front. It's bloody awesome to see organisation like this though and it will only get better!

Silva and Stones have been our most impressive players. De Bruyne, who perhaps isn't match fit, has been unusually poor.

Makes me laugh some posters on here. Always the same ones lol

Have BT done anything but slag us off?

They have slagged the crowd as well for being quiet. Do they never understand crowd behaviour?

1 more and don't concede, we're top of the league ;-)

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

lots of possession but be honest, apart from the pen did we actually create a single chance?

Why have we resorted to hoofing it long. Keep the ball. First 15 mins was a joy to watch.

Bit boring but first game after a crap pre season and having Kompany, Gundogan, Sane and Otamendi injured.

Very happy with the manner of the possesion and the one touch triangles to create space and to take Sunderland players out of the game.

Stones looks very composed.

I'd be delighted with a 2-0. Think we'll get better with every passing game.

No pleasing some people. Fucking hell...

Not good enough, if it stays like this we'll be below hull ffs ;)

 

[TFC]

Easy enough half, everyone obviously still getting used to the system.

Whats wrong with saying its ineffective? It is, I and its boring . De bruyne, sterling and nolito have been really poor. Their keeper has been a passenger for the most part. A few shots would be nice. All right spoofing about how clever this formation is. We were nearly caught out, need more threat up front.
