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

[Blue Til Death]

Given the domination, the shoreline is hard to take, but the performance has been outstanding for the players on the field.

Foden’s best (half a) game in a long while.

I sea what you mean ..

And you’re a sweaty ballbag

A sweaty ballbag with a bit of shit on it.

Akanji is a coward

Now, I'm very much a "please vent your spleen however you wish" kind of person, particularly on the match thread.....but I mean...eh???

Ok I'll say it ....the Viking isn't earning his crust.

He’s been a bit unlucky if you ask me.

That half was as good as we’ve played in weeks but yet again, gifted the opposition a goal.

Foden has been excellent.

Really liking Nunes on the wing.

Savinho needs serious work on his finishing. He makes Grealish look like Haaland in front of goal.

I really wish the old Bernie would come back. He can’t do anything right on the ball.

An amputee couldn't even do that.

More encouraging performance and we looked dangerous. If we keep defending in this system though someone is going to give us a good hiding this season

Should have been Last Saturday. Lucky to only concede 2

We’re simply too nice to play against. Unless Haaland is in top form we are toothless up front. Combine that with being completely open at the back, it’s a big worry.

On one hand I feel for Pep. We’ve got some huge players injured and he’s not been backed in the transfer window since the treble winning season.

On the other, he’s the best manager in the world and needs to sort it out. I go back to the Fulham game at home when they really should have put 4 or 5 past us. Not much has really changed since then.

Haaland to step up in the 2nd half

 

[Haaland94]

Nunes has been excellent, brilliant passes, shots, movement, dribbling. One of our best players recently.

 

[Gumzy97]

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

Attack isn't clinical, which is absurd to say with the best striker in Europe up front.

You know what you're doing with these posts. Childish but funny

Hope he stops flapping about…
