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

Bernardo and Kova have both been very poor. We should be up. Overall played decent. JSP should have done better for the goal. Needs to settle a bit.

They've been fine. Everyone has played quite well. Are we watching the same game? Jsp was left one on one...the striker is gonna win some of those match ups.

10 seconds left and Foden is going back to our goal instead of attacking theirs. Nunes was
Completely free too. Oh Lordy

That's the biggest problem we have in my opinion

The sooner you get to 2 or 3 nil the quicker the game is over

Leave it at 1 nil and the other side will get a chance that they'll probably take

Yep
11 shots to 3 and 9 corners to nil and yet our usual failings in putting the ball in the net and killing games off.
Just not enough players in the squad who can put the ball in the net and with Haaland not being his usual self of late, we struggle in games

The midfield in front.

Rodri is the best in the world, it's takes 2 world class players in that position to do his job.

Kovacic and Gundogan are miles off his level.

How on earth is the conceded goal on midfield?

 

[Dialog]

Our finishing is garbage. We labour too much, just to score a single goal

 

[Gabriel]

Good half but we should have scored more. The drop off in physical intensity from Bournemouth to Sporting Lisbon is marked. They’ve got some technically gifted individuals, for sure, but so far in this revamp only Internazionale has felt like two boxers near the same weight.

Akanji is a coward

ffs

 

[MMA]

Akanji is a coward

Hahaha..
Fuck off

 

[jollylescott]

We've been all over them and could easily have led by three. Overall a much more City-like performance.

 

[wolviedinho]

Mistakes can happen when the pusey is not warmed up.

Thought we did ok.

Same problems rearing its head. All season we can’t stop counter attacks. Leads to us holding onto the ball too long.

Need to buy in Jan if we want to win anything.
