Bony is really shit, isn't he?

Terrible uneducated rag comment

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Bony appears to be playing in defensive midfield. If football is to be interpreted as entertainment then both teams have been far too cautious - especially United, considering they are the home side.

Game is crying Navas, need to bring him in for Sterling, sooner the better.

We are pretty comfortable, dont think they had a single shot on goal, we had few decent chances but seem a bit static, would like to see Nacho for Bony but imagine it will be Navas on first

Frustrating as fuck. All the more so, as they're obviously there for the taking. If we play with anything resembling a bit of urgency, we'll piss them.
Navas on for Fernando, get Yaya playing in his proper position. And get the defence further up the fucking pitch.

stupid stupid yellow from Kompany. I hope that doesn't end up costing us. Came into it a little bit last 5-10 minutes but overall we've been second best. Repeat performance second half and we'll lose this. Navas on for Sterling, after about an hour, KDB switching to the left. Bony has been decent holding the ball up, not had the ball enough for him to have more of an impact though. Fernando has been solid and offered some protection and allows Fernandinho to be more box-to-box. Need more from Yaya.

Bony has linked play well, some nice touches, can people get off his back

Dinho best on the pitch. Hope he doesn't get a 2nd yellow, harsh 1st yellow.
Bony has held the ball up really well. No pace on the break tho

KDB been pretty erratic
Sterling needs to play to the whistle.

You head is going to explode if you don't stop shouting lol

It's Pellers. He's putting our finisher at the front post on set pieces. Which is fine but now he's 50 yards behind our incredibly pacey wingers if we get the ball and start counter attacking, leaving them running into corners waiting for them to catch up. In addition, Bony himself is dropping deep to get involved in the game instead of just sitting on the edge of their defensive line which would stretch the space a bit and we'd have a striker to aim for when our creative players get the ball.
