Why are City players passing to teammates who are marked!

 

[OrigamiNinja]

This current City side is nowhere near good enough to protect leads. It’s fucking stupid that we continue to play this way with a lead.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Getting sloppy now…

 

[Ajm1985]

Down that fucking left side again. Lads, have better ball security ffs

[vicblueman]

[hertsblue]

Love how Cherki looks and plays it forward all the time

 

[Paleblue2]

[paulsimpson]

Good win .

 

[cupsforcockups]

Job done but 2 half a proper shitshow

 

[super_city_si]

Haaland is going to love cherki

 

[heslops barnet]

That was a hard watch second half

And that's what worries me.

It can cost us against a good team.

Last season 2 last minute Stones goals papered over the cracks but there are cracks in the defense without Nico/ Rodri and fitness.

Gvardiol looks really vulnerable.

long 2nd half this...good win though

Because they forgot we no longer have Spanish Dave and KDB.

 

[Mr HJ]

Seeing Cherki charge upfield without Erling to give him the option ahead is quite sad - Pep has to find a way to get him in the side.

Yet we have a clean sheet again. Which is the third consecutive game we have not conceded in.

Worst performance this season for me this 2nd half. Very complacent all over the pitch.

Take the win & get home boys

Did you not watch the second half at Brentford?

It’s good to win but this is a really bad habit that needs to be dropped. Dortmund won’t roll over for 90mins and neither will Real Madrid

Win's a win. Some teams have lost four on the bounce.
