Match Thread | PSG vs Man City (28/04/21)

Kev should be in the centre of mid, eyeing up the gaps.
Not up top with his back to goal.
We need somebody who can pass forward from midfield and that aint Rodders

 

[eyalluvitt]

Not quite at the races so far , we seem a bit overawed. A bit like the Madrid semi under Audrey Roberts.

One would hope the nerves would ease in the second half, some of the play was just sloppy which can be put to nerves. I'd be inclined to try aguero for 20-25 minutes if we don't score or improve

 

[lancs blue]

Veratti is controlling the middle, unless that changes we'll continue to struggle.

 

[Saddleworth2]

They are brilliant in midfield. Constantly robbing us and moving the ball forward at speed. That where we are losing it. Time for Kevin to show that he is world class. Phil puts that away and we are level but would have hardly deserved to be.

 

[Metalartin]

They've targetted the left as I expected and Cancelo has been a bit off his best against a team where he needs to be on it and now he has a yellow card. I'd sub him at half time but that's not Pep's style. Foden has not really got into the game yet either so the left side is our weak point so far.

Our right hand side has been better in attack and defence, Mahrez has given his best defensive display in a City shirt down the right and Walker has been good too. Bernardo and Mahrez have drove us forward the most to my mind.

 

[Phil1]

They are better than us all over the pitch. This is what happens at this stage of rhe competition though, you play the best in Europe.
Disappointed in Kev so far and overall the midfield is a yard behind PSG.
No point having one of the brightest talents in the world playing if you're not going to get him in the game. Get foden involved for fucks sake.
Still a long way to go.

Let's talk about what we did well in that first half.........






.....You go first.

 

[ws01]

Sterling or Jesus would have scored that.

Raheem would've controlled it, taken about five touches to steady himself, then tried to beat the four defenders who'd have come over in cover before a shot could get away, only to end up tripping over his feet

 

[bert38]

Either cancelo gets taken off or he gets sent off. Going into the tackle with the wrong foot against their players will only end one way-aside from the fact he gives it away far too often.
