At least it seems it will be a interesting season

 

[Bluethemaway]

Come on City !

 

[Keeper!]

Haaland 91st minute winner

he will be subbed before that, already starting to lose it, just pass the ball to the big fucker, he will do the rest

 

[Vester]

If our players could start to try passing our goal machine up front it would help a lot. Not losing every challenge would help too. Not over this, but we need to see something else this next half. Simply not good enough so far.

 

[come-on-barney]

all on Foden this. not for the first time he refuses to pass to Haarland.
at 2-0 they fold.
should have subbed him right then.

Give over, tactically outhought

 

[crossbar]

As usual I expect no subs from Pep until minute 60-70 which is always too late

 

[zerox]

it is though they wont pass toHAALAND

We are behind in the game because our intensity at the back is lacking all of the defence have given the ball away from simple positions - I've never seen us give the ball away so cheaply, even Eddie is not finding his man. Kyle having a mare and seems frightened to death in engaging with any attacker.

Ultimately we have to be better with passing - they think they have this by pressing so if we get through the press we will win. A wake up call that you cannot stroll around in any game but they will be told and I expect a much better second half.

Finally Phil has to play the simple pass for a tap in - that's about 3 times he's not done it - what do they say, fool me once it's ok but again and again and it's stupidity!

The sloppiness actually started in the first 20 seconds with Ake and Stones. We then calmed it down and sorted it but my god we were given a chasing in the last 25 mins of that half.

Bernie out wide is a waste and weakens the midfield. I don’t know why pep insists on playing him there. Sort it baldy

 

[bluealf]

Have faith you load of fannies.
