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

[HypnoticBlue]

I can't look past our defence. Rodri being injured has exposed the cracks. They constantly get caught flat footed and square.. every single one of them are a disgrace defensively

I think having 4 centre half’s and no left back for about 5 years isn’t exactly a strong basis, but thinking players like Lewis are good enough defensively is worrying to say the least.
2 or 3 extra players in the squad wouldn’t go a miss.
But from 1up and 80% possession to getting spanked 4-1 really is quite shocking, and I don’t see any trophies this season, sad but true, we’re in a slump.

And off before the wankfest, that’ll last all week.

Frank Clark's blue and white army

Concerns all round here

My only concern is paying my bills, City will recover and have a good season, 75% of this is on Pep imo

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Walker and Akanji used to have recovery pace. Not any more.
Stones and Ake are sick notes who regularly miss games.
Dias is injured.
Gvardiol and Lewis are having an off night.
Simpson-Pusey only played due to injuries.
No Rodri to protect them or their reputations.

Feels like Ankanji played because he was the “least” injured, but it’s not worked out well tonight.

Chastening game.

Too much will be read into it, but it does need to be understood.

 

[madloaf]

Haaland has to shoulder some blame here.

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

Nope

 

[Beanhead]

When was the last time we lost by 4

Not today.. lost by 3 goals ;)

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

We want 5
We want 5.

You have to laugh, life's too short.

Next.

That's the spirit, time to have another beer: )

With a fully fit squad this doesn't happen.

The lads just look goosed. Get out of Brighton alive and regroup later.

not goosed at all....tactically goosed

 

[David White]

Rico Lewis is not good enough. Never will be.
