***City v Bournemouth Official Match Thread***

[Harry Dowd scored]

Looks like we are getting fucked on the break can’t the manager see what everybody is able to see

[PeterParker]

Baldie, come back. We were jocking with all those out messages.

[ayrshireblue]

No idea why Guehi is playing in midfield.

[bigblue]

Lewis seems like he stoped physically developing when he was 12

[Harry Dowd scored]

No idea why Guehi is playing in midfield.

Because he is our best defender

[PeterParker]

Piss aside, Maresca is the last to blame.

Viana and the club have been absolutely abysmal this summer; we are a squad ripped in the middle, full of mediocre players brought in, and they left it until the last 8 days of the season to salvage something by buying risky players.

Head scratching but better than Kovacic

[nottsblue]

Philips wouldn’t be any worse than Lewis. That’s how bad he is

Must be mustard in training

[Harry Dowd scored]

It’s obvious the side is not well balanced at all but Lewis ahead of those defenders on the bench beggars belief

[bigblue]

How many times is Dias gonna give it away?

Fucking atrocious on the ball

He is to blame - we already have the fuckign players to beat these lot , but he still decides to play Lewis who was out of position for their goal - that’s on him.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Elbow in the head and no penalty

[bigblue]

We look too open on the break, Haaland failed to finish a clear chance, bizarre lineups, and the ref obviously fucking us over - seems like Pep never left!

this 100%

The State of the Squad is the problem.

Since the Treble our recruitment has been shocking.

we literally need 6,7,,good solid quality players to be anywhere near what we were.

Spending £100,000 000 on any player right now seems stupid when we need pretty much half a squad

[Indianablue]

Lewis off Cherki on after half time.
Bournemouth handling us no problem at the moment .

Lewis poor
Dias can't pass
Guehi not a number 10

Ref playing a blinder for them. Semenyo pulled back no pen, body checked no yellow, Lewis elbowed in the head , checked in nano seconds ruled no foul.

We don't, mate, we actually don't.
From Gundogan, Silva, Bernardo, Kevin, Fern, Rodri we've left with Lewis.

Cherki and Grealish hopefully will step in and change.

I will take a draw.

[zuricity]

This ref has lost control of the game. He has been shocking since the first foul on Semenyo.

[stevefromdonny]

Same old same old, but should of had a pen, ref giving us fuck all

COME ON CITY

[Nickyboy]

We've played well just a bit sloppy.

We'll score a few second half.

Get Cherki on for Lewis. Nico G in for Dias and put Guehi into defence.

Ref is a total prick. Evenilson should be off for a second yellow but ignored the blatant yellow earlier in the half.

Also sky pundits are fucking clueless. Guehi has been good in midfield. He's not the issue at all

[Indianablue]

This ref has lost control of the game. He has been shocking since the first foul on Semenyo.

au contraire, he is controlling it exactly how he wants
