No tempo whatsoever from our back 4+Rodri. been awfully lacklustre in possession. Forwards are actually looking lively but we can’t get it into them quick enough.

Expect Pep to have words and we see a faster game second half.

Gundogan on for Rodri for me to quicken it up.
 
Final ball is missing. We are a bit impatient at times. They play with 7-8 players in the box though, not easy to find a City player there.

Silva and Bernardo have been as slow as each other, so get one of them off for Foden. Aguero off for Raz. Gundogan on for Rodri to sit deep and get us probing. He’d also offer his favourite little dinked pass over the top. That could be the ball to make the breakthrough.

sounds good to me
 
5-4-1 is always difficult to breakdown. So many teams do this against us and defend narrow in numbers behind the ball. We still haven’t figured out how to break it down. smashing good chances into the crowd is inexcusable.
we need to go forward quicker when they have committed to attack and we win back possession, too often we hang around and wait for them to re organise.

If I was in Court for GBH and saw Martin Keown on the jury, I’d think ‘one down, eleven to go’. Seems to have a terribly loose definition of misconduct.

He is the worse commentatory for us,worse that tyler and ratboy,making out kicking the shit out of us is fine,dinasauor
 
When you watch Mahrez on a bad day, you struggle to see how he made it as a top level footballer. So predictable, always cutting inside and shooting yet he's not even very good at it. Yet on another day he beats a couple of men and pings it in the corner. Baffling and frustrating player
 
Exeter Blue I am here said:
Dog shit 1st half. Horribly reminiscent of Wigan. Parked bus, bobbly pitch, half arsed performance, creating nothing. Got 1-0 written all over this if we don’t buck our ideas up. Dave, Bernie, Sergio, all sub-par

This is my fear. One slip or wonder goal and we are out, we just don't look like scoring, in spite of Otamendi hitting the bar. You look at side pre game and relax, but we have been dreadful. I hope Pep puts a rocket up their arse.

Anyone have any idea what our tactics are here? I don’t have a fucking clue what they are.

Two CBs who both want 10 fucking years on the ball and then just knock it 5 yards to each other.

Two full backs who can only pass inside.

Two wingers who have not tried to beat a full back once.

Two 8s just drifting in and out but offering nothing.

The drop off in quality when KDB doesn’t play is quite simply unreal given the players we have in this side.

We look devoid of any ideas. We look like we've just turned up and thought "well these lot are half way down the championship so it will be a walk over"

Up the tempo otherwise we will be on the end of a bad result!
 
Absolutely dire. Shades of the Wigan game here, without even the chances being created!

Silva and Rodri have been so slow and loose.

Need to get some forward pace on. Raheem on at some point, even just to commit someone into making a rash challenge.

Gundo on and also Foden at some stage.

Jesus and Sergio look like they have never even met.

Cancelo?
