Match Thread | Sporting CP vs. Man City (05/11/24)

We need to stop trying to cross repeatedly imo. Shoot, dribble shoot, dribble, shoot etc should be our style imo. Getting the ball wide seems a waste of time

We have the players too imo to run at teams.

 

[Paleblue2]

Recebt recruitment has been poor, and injuries have done the rest.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Pathetic, I want blood, we need to go huge in January, no more penny pinching and scabbing shite players. Top 4 a must

 

[I'm Blue]

We need match winners again.

Far too many ordinary players who can pass but when we need winners they are nowhere to be seen.

Recruitment recruitment recruitment

So many slag off Haaland but I dread to think where we’d be without his goals.
We used to chip in with goals all over the pitch, not anymore.

Pep won't drop Gundo so we can forget that. I love Gundo but we shouldn't have gone back, he hasn't been the Gundo of old

 

[alan__mcfc]

Shite - that's all

 

[phargrave]

Fucking woeful - ref blow the whistle please

 

[TheBlueCat]

Given a lesson here. Feel bad for the young centre half. It’s been a disaster for him

 

[Newmoston1212]

This is coming down to piss poor recruiting for past 2 seasons. Not one player looks like they improved the side

 

[deano ou812]

What makes it worse is I’m convinced we’d have won if Haaland had stuck that pen away even taking into account how poor we have been second half

 

[bluemoon32]

Or........

Demand a move

 

[youngbob]

When was the last time we lost by 4

Everton away in 2017?

 

[jimharri]

Fuck off!

It wasn’t “political” and I didn’t say anything other than compare how bad things were going for City to a massive global event and didn’t mention a party or a person.

Why you getting on your high horse?

It's you getting on your high horse. And, of course it was political. You mentioned the election.

 

[Franny 1234]

Oooohhh...

For a Sergio right now..

Boom back of the net and the oppo didn't know what hit em.

Remember sergio's last penalty

 

[blueju]

time to fuck the high defensive line off, play deeper and give Haaland space on the break. Unfortunately we don’t have the playing staff to play so high, unfortunately Pep will never allow this simple change.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Haaland has to shoulder some blame here.

Missed loads of chances and that penalty goes in, it's a different game.

 

[Brewster's millions]

I agree but i know anyone who questions attitude of KDB gets pelters here - but i do think he seems so unhappy that he doesn't evoke much love amongst his team mates to be honest. Never seen such a talented and wealthy player look so miserable most of the time

Maybe, and I know what you mean, but several times tonight players haven’t tracked runs, haven’t backed team mates and haven’t handed out any bollockings when people have fucked up.

We just seem to half asleep and going through the motions.

I see what u did there..
Clever.

Never a game to play him
