Ronson333 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Remember our bench is strong, if we’re still in it after 60 mins this will get interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Not bad, we mostly contained them, but wow, what a moment of quality to take the lead. Gabriel Jesus doesn't finish that. On our side, Isak is isolated and we need to get him more involved higher up the pitch. Miggy struggling a bit and Joelinton not quite himself. The others have mostly been fine. If we keep plugging away, the odd chance will come, and against someone this good, you have to take them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 The problem for us as supporters is that the way we set up to try and nullify City means that we were always going to give them plenty of the ball, meaning they have space and time to pick passes out and look dominant. We have reduced them to one shot on target and only a few half chances so we have been reasonably solid defensively, which was the strategy from the start.

Memphis Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 We're being treated with respect, they're up for it and have us well-scouted. Player for player, they're better than us at virtually every position so we have to hope for them to make mistakes. They haven't. And I might consider taking Almirón off, moving Gordon right, bringing Wilson on and playing Isak left. Might give us a bit more threat. We really need Joe's size and combativeness, so he needs to step things up a bit. Barnes in for Gordon at 60 minutes, let's see what that can do. Ultimately it's all likely to be for naught.

I mean, you have to respect the way they pull it off because it's so hard to do... but fuck me is it dull They have to be in some games. It will be games like us and Liverpool in the past where they have to be like this, and get that win. It’s those wins that will win you the league. It’s why Arsenal never won the league last season. They are great going at teams and ripping teams they should rip apart, but when a team with a bit of ability came along, or something to fight for, like Forest towards the end of the season, they struggled.

Dr Jinx Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 They had a spell where they looked like scoring and that’s what happened. We’ve been pretty well disciplined and it looks like we can hurt them if we relax a bit more on the ball and stick to basics. Annoyed at those yellows. It limits us. Keep AG on for a while though.. he’s the only one who can cope with their pace on our left side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 They are showing why they are the best team in the world. They are so good defensively, so organised, so much quality, so well drilled. It's really a fine science and impossible to play against at times. They are a level above every other team in world football let alone the premier league.

It's really impressive how they do it. Yeah, have to be more direct and play with more urgency. It's a fine balance though because give the ball away carelessly in those instances and you're toast on the counter. We've been no disgrace though. Think we'll take more risks this half as the game goes on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
