****Official Overthinking City vs Lyon

[CTID Hants]

Bayern must be shitting themselves .

Even if we turn this around and squeeze through, Bayern if they play anywhere close to what they did v Barca, will show us our backside

Half of me thinks this will be our last game until 12th September.........

Lyon were 12/1 to win before KO, if only I was a betting man!!

[Sideshow Bob]

Because we finished the half a bit better, that will be all Pep needs to not make any changes at half time.

sadly this is spot on.

[sheblue]

Embarrassing first half. Lyon are fucking terrible we are pathetic.

[Redna]

Fern,Gundo and Rodri is slower than me.
Go figure.

That's my concern - they sat back and wanted to get in at HT

If we Rock up with the same team in the 2nd half then he can do one the fucking goon

[PrezIke]

So sick of these kinds of performances.

Whenever we play sides like this it's always a problem, but wild we can never figure it out with so much quality.

I'm not banking on anything and can see a lot of desperate attempts to score that show frustration from the players and leave us out.

[zuricity]

The 7th placed team in the worst top 5 league is comfortably beating a team aspiring to win the premier league and go far in europe

Stop being a WUM!

They got lucky ,

Certainly not comfortable. Have you seen how shakey their goalie is ?

Absolutely stupid comment . Be patient.

City are all over them . We will turn up the pressure.

[Mase]

Once again Pep’s arrogance and refusal to change it is costing us.

Fern isn’t a defender. We have struggled playing 3-5-2 more often than not.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Do what we do best and attack. Dave for Gundo, Somebody on the right for Fern. These aren't even any good. ffs It looks like their manager picked our team.

[City64]

Lyon noticeably tiring last 10 minutes of that half . We need another creative midfielder on the pitch , David or Bernardo. KDB needs to impose himself on the game just like the said last 10 minutes of the first half .

[PrezIke]

CBS analysis destroying our defending on the goal and fair.

[Harry Dowd scored]

We keep changing our team to match the other team, Gundogan a waste of time, Fern booked already walking red card, what a complete fuck up from pep, this is the thing with so many players Klopp has no such worries same team every week, City no continuity chop and change fucking sick of it.

Its appalling. Thank god were not playing a good team.

.

I can name you 10 games just in the league when teams got "lucky" against us.
Add to that 2 quarter finals and one last 16.

Luck has nothing to do with this travesty.

[Saul Goodman]

CBS analysis destroying our defending on the goal and fair.

Laporte raising his arm and stopping. This is a cancer in the sport. Everyone just raises their arms and stops. You HAVE to play through to the whistle regardless if you think it's offside.

Walker standing still and letting Cornet run free and pick up the loose ball.

Shameful defending

[Tokyo Blue]

Apart from the last five minutes that was fucking wretched.

What a cowardly team selection. Six defensive players is always going to leave you short up front. I can't believe Pep went that route. Predictably, we are missing one forward player. Foden for one of Garcia/Fernandinho/Rodri/Gundogan at half time would be my change. We need that extra man in forward positions as we are lacking options when get near their goal and we need to score. Maybe it's a bit risky but because of the stupid fucking about with the formation and players, we are now in that tricky situation where we have got to take a chance or two.

Well done, Pep, you fucking arsehole.

That said, we are not out of this match by any means. And we could have been.

Come on, City.

[PrezIke]

Pep is being eviscerated by Jamie Redknapp who made the observations.

Micah says he feels Pep underestimated them but Redkapp says he overestimated them by playing a back 5 and we look lost after we've only played this way 2 other games all season he claims (Sheffield United and Everton?)

[salford city]

That's post of the thread for me Piccs - spat my beer out at the last sentence. Cheers mate needed some relief

[Outcast]

Why is Foden not playing instead of Gundo? What the fuck does that tree trunk bring to the side, pass side ways and back. We need energy and creativity.

I'd bring Bernie and Foden or even Mahrez for creativity

KDB is wasted, we need to free him

[sheblue]

We need to change it and get more energy in midfield.
Get Foden on for fern on a yellow and go 4 at back.
