Cmooooooooooooon city!

 

[Roachy]

Besides a good half with utd our performances have dropped off a cliff.

Players not dropping off into midfield to help Rodri.

All bombing forward and hitting a brick wall, passing side to to side and then one bad pass and we're in trouble.

Why do the players keep hold of the ball for so long as well? Almost invites trouble.

Embarrassing coverage this

FA cup underdogs will aways get this coverage

Hassenhutel (!) looking rather unwell sitting on the bench then

Cancelo is good in their half but doesn't seem very interested in the defensive side of things
That goal was coming and they'd tried that move several times before
We need to waken up, players wimping out of 50/50's all over the pitch that 1st half

 

[hilts]

We phased out all the pace out of the team.

Its the rodri gundog kdb combi that has made us lightweight in many of a game over the years.

Pep needs to earn his bacon at half time we have much better teams to face coming up. Don't lose to this lot.

It needs to be Bernardo, Rodri, Gundo for the rest of the season. Since Kev came back into the team, we haven’t been the same team.

Not sure of that. The only great performances this new year have been United and Sporting, both of which KDB played well.

 

[PragueBlue]

Tbh, Rodri should be able to perform with or without his prefered mates in midfield. He is been shit recently and i don't think having them back will change his form back.

I think you're wrong on that. Our form has been in decline since our midfield 3 of Rodri, Bernardo and Gundogan was broken up.

It was a massive stroke of luck.

Man City were in total control of the game until the last 10 minutes where they've just dropped off the pace.

Game on.
