Match Thread | West Ham vs Man City (24/10/20)

Our recruitment is fucking disgraceful.

yup

Rodri
Gundogan
Garcia
Cancello
Mahrez

All passangers 9/10 when they play - none would get into liverpools team or even match day squad

 

[MCFC1993]

Severely lacking pace. Need Foden, De Bruyne and Torres on.

Goal shouldn't have stood, clearly handball.

 

[knuckles]

well that was pretty crap, I just don't get the point of our midfield setup, not great in defence, offering zero in offence, Cancelo our only threat to them, no pace, Aguero hardly getting a touch, Garcia had more shots than our attacking lineup, we just have to get more pace on!

 

[dukyblue]

We've regressed so much in the last 12 months it's baffling. I find us quite boring to watch now, we don't seem to have the tools to counter opposition tactics on us anymore and end up making a thousand passes and going absolutely nowhere. Predictable 90% of the time.

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

Absolutely pathetic and everyone who saw that team predicted it. pep is losing it.

Strange line up. Don't look like scoring.

 

[Ashleymcduff]

We’ve gone from ruthless to toothless
Don’t even look like creating a chance let alone scoring

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

Who is accepting it ? You are way too fucking obvious

Gonna tell me what I’m obvious about? Or just gonna sit there all high and mighty because you are more of a city fan cos u like watching us lose

 

[plattlanebenches]

Too slow. Too predictable. Somebody please tell me what mahrez brings to this team.

 

[Robanompivenov]

How Mahrez is starting every game this season is fucking beyond me. Looks like he's going through the motions, get a hungry Foden or Torres on in his position. Foden kept him out of the team after project restart, this is beyond gash from Mahrez and has been most games this season.

He's not the only one, but every time he gets the ball he either gets tackled, passes to a claret shirt or blasts it out of play. Shite.

So passive in midfield too which is resulting in Antonio and Bowen turning Garcia and doing him for pace every time. Not difficult, mind, my nan is faster.

 

[adam.marrett]

That was pathetic. Fair play to Antonio for the goal, not much you can do about that.

But we are second rate. No movement, we have chances to break, and Aguero is just standing in the middle of the pitch, or walking. Mahrez as per usual offers nothing, cuts inside and does nothing much with the ball. Sterling invisible, and Garcia always caught out of position.

Cancelo has offered a bit going forward, Bernardo is trying his guts out, Dias and Walker are putting in a shift, besides that not much else.

De Bruyne, Foden and Ferran should be introduced by the hour mark if this continues. Get some spark into the line up.
