The College Dropout Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I don’t think any of the midfielders laid a glove on city’s. But they were tactically outmatched. Of the 3 I think Tonali was the best. But none of them had a good game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 3 I think Tonali was the best. But none of them had a good game. He was definitely the best of the 3 tonight. Joelinton never got started and Bruno looked pretty sluggish and was being overrun. He wasn't great tonight but definitely the pick of the midfield 3.

He did absolutely nothing tonight and was subsequently subbed off in the 67th minute. Had to check some stats and compared to Bruno he lost the ball more, had less touches, won less duels and passed it wrong more in 67 minutes of play. Thought he looked amazing last week, but the midfield trio looked outclassed tonight (they are a better side, so well drilled tactically) and that was a largely because neither Joe or Sandro really got going.

Nowhere Man Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I think he’s adjusting to the speed of the games here. City were full on first half and he probably likes a bit more time on the ball than he’s getting now. Didn’t get much help off Joe either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. I don’t think any of them had a good game anyway and tactically Howe had no answer for what City did with Foden and Alvarez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City are just a fantastic side and Foden was fantastic tonight. At the end of the day 1-0 loss away at the Etihad to a fantastic goal has to be accepted. Even Europes top teams would accept a defeat like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 He's been shown what it is to chase the ball around by these. Bruno has intimated how frustrating it is to deal with, it' ll get better for him starting next week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying any of the 3 had bad games, I'm just struggling to think of anything that jumps out at me that any of the 3 done, which against City, isn't going to get you much. 6/10 for all 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) We just played fucking timid man. Everything we did was sloppy, weak. It’s annoying in these big games. It’s like they haven’t got the mentality to step it up at times. Overwhelmed by the occasion. Felt the same at the cup final.

Ronson333 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Still annoyed by that ridiculous decision to give him a yellow card. It meant he couldn’t press for the rest of the game like he usually does, which affected us more than we think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtton Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 He was no worse or better of anyone else for us really but clearly found it tough. He and we won't have a tougher game all season than City away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But last night seemed to be a yellow for anything we did. But fuck all the other way a couple of ours felt soft as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Thing is, if he's living in Gosforth, he's possibly seen it when driving passed and booked a table. I highly doubt much effort has gone into working out how nice it would be. Bare in mind, only countries like us and the US have such establishments whereby you attract the clientele by actively making the place more cheap and nasty. Most restaurants pride themselves on the quality of the cuisine. Must have been like being on Mars for pure Sandro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
