***City v Scum of the Earth Official Match Thread***

[Grandad Rosler]

Snooze fest

[Sparklehorse]

We're showing these cunts far too much respect.

...as we did against Liverpool

[Beefymcfc]

Pogba should be in a yellow at least two blatant fouls where he made no attempt at the ball.

Lindelof also going in heavy more than once.

They have gotten away with a lot. Once the ref has a chat with you then you’ve got to expect a card if you do it again; didn’t come for some reason.

[mr_nool]

Not sure what I’ve just watched there. Felt like the Rags had the majority of possession and better chances but only 1 on target for each. Their press has been sustained and far more than we’ve done and I just get the feeling that Pep is biding his time as this is not what we’d expect.

Thought Jesus and Mahrez should’ve done better.

We haven't pressed that much. We were "standing" far up the pitch and cutting off passing angles, but we didn't put the player with the ball under pressure.

[john@staustell]

I remember in the old days players were buzzing for these games, some of these players can't be arsed.

Our great team is gone. Even our alleged superstar kdb gives the ball away more in one match than Silva or Yaya in 10.

And God do we need a striker

[Outcast]

Torres
Foden
Bernie

We got young hardworking hungry talent sat on bench...

For all the happy clappers, whats actually changed with Pep?

Some said we are taking it slow this season, well fuck me aren't we just

[PrezIke]

Get Rodri off at half time and get young Phil on.

Bet you a million quid that doesn't happen.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Wonder if pep was worried about being done on the break after having all the play, I don’t know but this doesn’t look like a City performance

[sheblue]

We need a bit of energy on the pitch.

[carolina-blue]

Get Rodri off at half time and get young Phil on.

Bet you a million quid that doesn't happen.

We need both Torres and Foden we are
Sloooow

[Hazy2]

We can get better, they can counter and get better 2nd half.

[PrezIke]

Also, it's not Rodri's fault.

I just watched 5 minutes of the City Xtra live feed and they said almost exactly what I was saying earlier.

There is a huge gap between our midfield and attacking players (they referred to KDB) and they are man marking the attacking players and pressing them hard.

Foden on could help, tbf but every City fan knows Pep NEVER EVER EVER makes half-time changes.

This means that Jesus has to play even deeper or maybe bring Kev into a deeper role so he can work from there.

What Utd do if we change tactics will be interesting.

Agreed. And this is the only thing that’s not upsetting me. I hate dominating and getting fucked on the break. Maybe pep has learned from Spurs.

[PeterParker]

One has to wonder what the hell are his assistants telling him?

He rewarded Mahrez for his shit game last week with a start this week...I said Foden will play a dead rubber against Marseilles so he wont play him form the off against the scum.....so fuckign predictable.

Rodri has zero innovation in his play....hes just a brick who doesn't do fuckall.

We'll see if that's the problem.

I'm not certain just yet. It might be spacing and tactical.

Yes, and that’s why I’m confused and think Pep is trying some tactical stroke.

[PeterParker]

Here we go.

[nottsblue]

Of course it’s a penner
