Did Erling and Phil have a touch of the ball between them when they came on?

haaland hardly touches ball over 90 minutes never mind when weve dug in and he comes on for 20 minutes

 

[Stato]

We were decent in the first half but didn't create much.
Both goals were taken well though.
Second half was poor, relatively in control but just didn't do anything, it was fairly comfortable but only cos Wolves are shite.

I do think Rodri should have gone off around the 70 minute mark to give him a rest as he looked knacked and we need him.

We are still way off it, but 3 points is 3 points.

Cheers blues, good result and hopefully more 3 points on wedenesday.View attachment 181578

Cleethorpes looking good this morning !

Possibly Phil needs to go and see a Sports Psychologist as he appears to need his head sorting out as it appears to be somewhere else

Phil seems to have gone a bit like Stephen Ireland did performance wise.
More flat than flair.

Given Ireland's gran story he clearly needed his head sorting out as well

A needed win,well done but. Berni worries me when defending corners with his manhandling opponents handling of opponents,lt won’t be long before we concede a penalty due to it

 

[Roachy]

It’s all to do with the Liverpool/Robertson one. I knew at the time we were screwed after that. It happens every time we get a contentious decision - which we get about once every two years. Think about it - have we had one 50-50 decision go for us since that game? Pep knows

Right yes, the offside one. Well it definitely seems one sided at the minute, and I've honestly looked at them with as much neutrality as possible. The ones involving Newcastle have been very dubious to say the least.

Yeh Phil got bullied off the ball, then fell on the ground waving his arms in the air whilst Wolves launched a counter attack forcing another corner.

You had to dig a bit to be positive:

• good control in first half and two well taken goals
• back four looked fine all game and it was great to see Nunes back, Khus and Nico played very well and Guehi had an excellent debut
• Bernie played really well and Rodri looked better in the first half
• Marmoush looked sharp and energetic in the first half
• Semenyo can really shoot. He hits the ball so cleanly and with such control. He is going to score loads for us as long as we put him in decent positions. We should be built around feeding Haaland and him.

I'll leave the negatives plenty of others have covered them.

Same sentiment here.
Nice to see you posting once again @kaz7

Thank you lovely, it is lovely to be able to again xx

Refs have definitely decided to allow much more physicality - if not plain rough stuff - this season. In the past fouls would be given which are now waved on. This version of City struggles to deal with aggressive play, players get turned over, misplaced and hurried passes, and playing a high line means we constantly get done on the counter. Haaland is constantly pulled around by sometimes two defenders and gets nowt. Lightweights like Phil, Rico and Bernardo to a lesser extent find it tough going and get swatted. Phil becomes hesitant and seems to get disheartened and just runs around making safe short passes.
Sad to see.

We'll miss Bernie when he goes, i wish some of our other players showed as much heart & had bollocks as big as his

I agree. He’s not always been in form but there’s not many occasions when he hasn’t put a good shift in.

And he hates the victims.

Funnily enough the week after the Liverpool one

Or you could have gone with ‘played a superb crisp ball in to Semenyo when he hit the bar’ I suppose we all see what we want to see

 

[Roachy]

That's the one.

 

[Groke]

It’s a Midlands thing, Villa, Forest exactly the same. Small time and bitter.

Yet all regularly had crowds in the 20 thousands in the recent past. Don't do irony in the Midlands it seems.

Well it’s a physical sport. David Silva could also be called a lightweight but you never saw him get bullied. Likewise Nasri.

Yeh just watched it back. To describe that as a superb crisp ball is a touch elaborate. It’s a pass that any premier league player worth his salt should make.

Anyone got video Clip of Mosquera's challenge on Domu?
