dcmk Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Thought we did ok that half. Again it's good to see our heads don't drop when we fall behind. Need to get more clinical in front of goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Isak, Targett and ASM on for Wilson, Burn and Miggy pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmesy Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) We’ve done alright there to be fair. We’ve opened them up a few times, Gordon has looked very good and on another day we could be level. Botman has been excellent against Haaland as well. Definitely a few positives to take.

nufc123 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Isak/Maximin/Targett in Wilson/Almiron/Burn out. What do we got to lose? Try something at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 We've been okay. They've been the better side overall but we've played some canny stuff and should have scored at least once really. I'm sick of Wilson at this point. Loyalty to him is hindering us and I hope Howe can see that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Gordon loves checking the ball back. I’m glad both our wingers do the exact same fucking thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Don't think the referee has been that bad. We had some good spells but they're not out of 2nd gear and look dangerous when they come forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 We've been all right. Get ASM on for Gordon at HT to run at Akanji and Walker and we're golden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I think this is quite an absorbing contest,and we're certainly still in it at this stage. Concede another and game over,and KDB is getting far too much space. But some of our attacks have been decent,without the end product,of course ? The subs will play a part in this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Held our own might be a bit much but I remember playing quite well in one of Rafa's narrow losses there. The one where Yedlin scored first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyeyzzon Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Burn limits us so massively. Done for the first goal. It would be nice to have a mobile left back who could offer an overlap when Gordon cuts inside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get more clinical in front of goal. We weren't awful, if it was 1-1 no one could really complain. They've kept our wide players really quiet, not sure if that's on Gordon and Almiron, or because there's not much support from the full backs with Tripper staying back, and Burn not really being a full back.

Gallowgate Toon Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 We've done decently there, some good spells of play. Hope we make some changes early on in the half, this current lot aren't scoring and it's important we make subs before a second goes in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geogaddi Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Maxi and Isak on for Wilson and Miggy is the way to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 For me there's three issues to work on / resolve for second half : There is no link-up at all between Burn and Gordon. Gordon stays high, Burn plays so deep he's basically on his own byline as he's terrified of being beaten by Foden again. This is creating huge spaces for City to play in when they have the ball, and we have no support for Gordon when we do have the ball. Suggest we resolve by replacing with Targett. Wilson is being post-World Cup Wilson, easy resolve in bringing on our attacker with the most quality, Isak. Almiron's not even in the game, and not being mentioned because of other more glaring issues. When he is on the ball, he only cuts inside against Ake who loves him doing this as he can just stand there and watch Almiron play it back. Where has Almiron's confidence gone to try and take a man on and take a shot? Seems to have evaporated since Christmas. Would like to see Maxi on the right to go outside Ake, stretch the pitch, and whip balls in. Positive points : Our midfield three, aside from transitions, have largely stopped City playing through the middle very effectively and have looked very good. Lascelles has looked effective defensively. Joelinton has looked class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I've not been impressed with Wilson,Gordon, Almiron, basically our so called attack. Not sure what Eddie's got up his sleeve, we've not been bad, but we could be so much better in the final third. There never seems like theres much drive when Willock is missing, he's the type who will carry the ball up toward the attack from midfield to get into creative space, it's missing.
