We are the worst corner takers in world football - great coaching !!!

And it's not just a recent thing either

[carl_feedthegoat]

See OD is nowhere to be seen on here as there is no officials to slag off .

That’s his match day involvement in the bin

WTF was Walker doing for their goal! Gashford just jogs passed him. Too bothered about putting his hand up for offside! Play to the whistle you clown

Do these players ever check the clock in the stadium? Our performamce this half has been been utter shite against an average side that are prepared to defend and hit us on the break . Haaland ATROCIOUS miss , Foden poor miss no others to speak of. Numberous corners no end product. Pep knew as did the rest of us that this would be Ten Hag's plan and one that he faces week in week out . Even when we break with pace. we seem to want to slow it down when we get 20 yds out , and let their players reform and defend in numbers. Wht's more our football is fucking boring, it's like watching paint dry only to find a fly has landed in it. I'm resigned that this is the way we play but we are getting worse not better. Mancini teams and even Pellegrini's teams were better to watch.

Walker again slow to get back but prefers to claim offside and stop running

One thing about Haaland is he won’t hide. He’ll be back looking for goals.

I mean afterwards when play went on just jogged back no effort to get goal side of anyone pal

[dave watson's perm]

Think ratface had a point with the boring comment. This pass pass pass is turgid to watch sometimes

[Blue In Bolton]

Doku off, Bobb on. Swap Bernardo and Foden.

[sheblue]

Foden and Silva need to swap roles. Get Foden in front of the D, there's not enough there, silva often too high ahead of haaland! Wrong balance.
Throw Bobb on for Doku.
Come on we can turn this around.

Had we scored at least from one or two of our corners each game this season we would've run with league by now

Yeah he did but Walker stopped with his hand in the air claiming offside instead of running back with Fernandes. His overall play is shocking, makes an overlapping run but nobody ever passes to him because he can't cross a ball. This new position that Pep has him playing high in the right is not suitable for him as it means he is too far away to make the recovery runs that he used to make. Hopefully this is his last season, you were good Kyle - never great - but your time is well up.

Pep will be dishing out some angry bollockings, were still going to win this.

COME ON CITY!!!

I think so mate. Fingers crossed, come on city !!

[blues2win]

COME ON WITH CITY!!!!!!!!!

[Sparklehorse]

Haaland needs to sort his body language out, he doesn’t look arsed for some reason. He’d better be arsed this half……come on city !!!!!

[Indianablue]

Wish we'd fuck this putting it on the keeper corner routine right off.

Why build a fucking wall on the goal line? need to run onto it , flick on from a nearpost run or hit one out to penalty spot. Last year we were a group of 5 that ran in diffent directions when the corner was taken, helping to stop the marking and grappling, this year completely forgotten.

Not very confident for second half unless Pep changes tactics and brings on Alvarez and gets Doku off
