Emotic Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Yeah, Pep has won it all and has the worlds best team at his disposal, he’s savvy enough to give credit to opponents where it’s due. We really matched them very well today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Today was a tremendous demonstration of why we must keep hold of ASM. Once we add more quality and teams can’t marshal him as closely as they may like to he’s going to be lethal. He had Walker looking like he’d been on the meths.

Defence was ropey but it'll come with time To be honest, our defense has been class for the better part of a year now, think it was just one of them days where you play such high quality opposition. Big difference is that normally under previous managers there'd be a big fat zero next to our name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomlynnherrington Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Another striker,a right sided midfield player who can work the line and a holding midfield player.We’re still too lightweight in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGRM Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Just back from match. What a great game, stressful like, great atmosphere. I imagine it was entertaining from the neutral's point of view. Thought Pope was class. ASM the best I've seen him play for ages. Great free kick from Trippier (had no doubt it would end up in the net). A point is the least the lads deserved. Onwards and upwards.

McDog Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Well boys, just finished watching the match. What a game! That was one of the best matches I've seen recently anywhere. Normally blowing a 3-1 lead would lead to despair but against this lot who likely are the best team on the planet I'm pretty happy.

JumpersForGoalposts Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 31 minutes ago, Emotic said: The claim was that he’d picked up a knock, but more likely Guardiola had the nous not to use him and let him get Pickford-ed by the home crowd. Not like they’re short of good reserves to bring on. TBF, Silva was exceptional today. Grealish is a snivelling little drug driving nonce who has never really looked like he fits in with City's attacking force. I think Guardiola did the right thing shelving him today - as you said, he'd have been Pickforded and been made to look even more of a bell end than usual. Shame, really.

wormy Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Not to go over the top but that was an utterly corrupt performance from the ref. Wanted every possible margin to go in Man City's favour. Makes the lads holding out for that point even more admirable. Can't fault any of them one bit. Man City definitely stepped it up a gear in the second half and some of their passing around the box to get through our defence was sublime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a David Batty and Rob Lee in midfield they wouldn’t have been so dominant in the second half.We stood off,hence the reason they got on top.In stark contrast to the first half.

There's only been 3 games and he's played well in 2 of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
