Cantbgo in 3-1 down. Need to keep it 2-1

 

[chesterbells]

Get some shots off quicker lads

Walker has been shocking this season. He’s our captain so he has to play but he’s been the weak link.

So he only plays because he’s the captain? I’m sure that’s the only reason pep picks him..

 

[bluemc1]

We desperately need another centre half.

You could have Maldini and Barasei but if you play them in the opposition half and limit their defending abilities to a foot race with rapid forwards they’d be able to do fuck all either

 

[argyle]

We get near their area and take another 10 passes. They just shoot.

 

[skillman]

Alvarez isn’t a 9. Even when he’s there he drops deep into spaces where Foden and Doku want to be. Just needs to sit and be on the end of moves like Haaland does.

For me how he is a captain is shocking.

Guardiol out left is the elephant in the room .

He looked like a fish out of water out there all season… not his fault- it’s just not his position. Swap him and Ake?

 

[blueballs84]

Kovacic offers nothing when City attack and most of the time fails to protect our back line.

Offers nothing in attack and nothing in defense.

 

[buckshot]

Phil needs to shoot from outside the box once in a while instead of trying to walk it into the net.

 

[come-on-barney]

if we are to get anything out of this, get Doku off and Jack on.

 

[bluemoon32]

Please could we have our backbone returned sometime soon

 

[eyalluvitt]

He bossed the Huddersfield game, his level now

 

[Sparkys-Army]

Anyone know why Doku isn't set as a winner? Seems odd considering he's our best winger in terms of attacking threat.

 

[yankblue]

Dias has turned to shit, no leaders

He's had a rough year but I think he's been fine today? Goals were down to Walkers positioning and Doku & the forward line giving the ball away cheaply imo. Could be wrong

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Are you joking? The same walker who won the treble only a few months ago

A few months can change a lot, especially considering what's going on in his private life

 

[Gumzy97]

Don’t understand the Gvardiol experiment with him at left back this season. We spent a massive a transfer fee on one of the best young centre backs last season and we are playing him at left back?

 

[Vester]

So, we won everything in 2023. Now we are shit according to this forum I mean...

Since this is a City and not a Rag forum we are more worried about the present than historic achievements.

 

[WallyA]

Ortega can't pass anymore, he is rattled.

 

[homerdog]

Kavanagh is just another clueless ****, letting them foul at will and allowing Burn to ref the game. Just before their first goal it was a clear foul.
