Aiston Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Almiron literally the only player moving around the pitch to try get himself open for a pass....gets heavily criticised for it. The hate for him on here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Really disappointing to concede that goal when Trippier threw the ball straight to their olayer and then Botman passed an easy pass out of play. Felt like we were panicking and then bang we concede Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Yep, at least miggy is getting forward, finding space for the ball. Nothing else happening otherwise . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Disappointed, Would like to see Anderson on for Joelinton tbh. Barnes for either Gordon/Almiron aswell soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubteam Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 1 minute ago, HawK said: They're letting Burn have all the space in the world because they know he won't do anything with it Never creates anything positive going forward.

The Prophet Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 People going on like we aren't playing the dominant force in Europe They've only done this to Real Madrid, Bayern, Arsenal, etc. But stop them creating space, stop being rushed on the ball, be more incisive, basically do what almost every team in Europe has failed to do at the Etihad for a good year.

Pilko Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Feel like Almiron's lack of quality is really hurting us here. We're getting plenty of the ball down that right flank and it's fizzling out into nothing, bar that cross Trippier got across a minute or two ago. Good goal by City but Alvarez had far too much space to line the shot up; Joelinton slow to get back and too much space between Burn and the centre backs. Foden is fast turning into one of those players who saves their best top drawer performances for when we play them. Bit like Ozil used to for Arsenal.

SiLvOR Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Not an utter disaster, but very painful seeing us given the runaround so much. We've obviously been battered far worse here, and we're not out of this yet, but we need to get out of our heads a bit I feel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRaspberryJam Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Thought we’d be pressing all over them like we normally do. Didn’t think we’d change our game plan. thankfully have some very good options from the bench this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Every game that City play ends up looking like this. Even against the likes of Real. So difficult to get the ball off them and then keep it. We just have to hope they don't score again and tire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Still fucked off for that booking on Tonali. Barely a foul let along a booking. Edited August 19, 2023 by Geordie Boyo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Think it's obviously frustrating that when Gordon drags Walker into the middle pitch then the space is available down the left wing but Burn just doesn't have the ability or pace to exploit it City have passed it really well from the back mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Our formation looks abit archaic when up again a Pep team. They just had the extra man all over the pitch and have us well scouted which to be fair probably isn't too difficult as we never change. But expected abit more energy. Dunno if it's just cus City are so good at keeping the ball but we look really slow to react and press the man in possession. We also rush the ball way more than them and try to force the forward pass. We could learn from them in terms of being patient and waiting for the gaps to appear.

midds Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 City seem happy to play keep ball and make us work, very few stoppages in that half. They even let us have a bit of the ball in safe areas to keep the game ticking along and deny us the breaks in play we got most of last season, Pep's not dft. They may have a few out but they still look great and we just need to hang in and stay in it as long as possible. We'll need to rest a few too for the last 20, we've more important games to think about in the next 4 weeks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Foden and Walker's movement causing all sorts of problems. Not bad overall, perfect finish away from keeping them at bay and 0-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
