HawK Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Just now, Memphis said: It's funny how quickly people forget - this City team did this exact thing, maybe worse, to fucking Real Madrid last year. They're switched on for us, they're treating us like the big team we are, and it's tough to deal with. This is less about us than them. I don't think people expected us to turn up and blow them off the park, it's been a good reality check though for the team like I said a few pages ago, it's good to have this experience in their locker for the rest of the season.

No team goes there and doesn't appear 'sloppy' or like they 'haven't turned up' at times. Its not a massive coincidence its because they're the best. Yep. They’re doing to us what we do to about 90% of this division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Maybe I'm just in a positive mood but I really don't know what else we could've done outside of inhaler prescriptions. We sit back and they're happy to pass around us until an opening appears. A couple of times we've pressed and only just managed to get back and defend after they got around it with one cracking ball. They're just as good in defence so we just can't break them down. They just seem switched on today, everything they're doing looks smooth as shit. Really do think it's almost them deciding we're a team they actually have to move out of first gear for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 We’re basically playing 3 CBs and Gordon is having to drop deep to cover LB. Even when we get the ball there’s no outlet. We’ve got no chance at this rate. We need more players up the pitch and take the risk of fewer players back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lull you to sleep then hit you suddenly. Think we'd have a bit more joy going more direct and quick with our passing when we have possession. Slowing things down a tad too much.

Memphis Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I will say this is where Almirón is exposed. He has two moves on the ball, the pass back to Bruno looking for the one-two, or the incessant dribble across the top of the box. Very predictable against the very best in the world. We could use a lot more guile and craft on that right side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
