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

[Blue Jam]

I fear that this game, this season will further cement CFTGs unconscious bias against bald people.

Unconscious ?

I'd like to be unconscious now rather than watching this shyte show

[bigblue]

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

Main issue on the ball is that all of our threat comes from O'Reilly and Semenyo on our left side. Foden anonymous, Guehi a defender, and Anderson playing it safe.

And Lewis cannot defend to save his life. Completely unable to mark

That build up for Bournemouth’s second big chance when they were 4 on 2, our two midfielders just jogging back. FFS put some fucking effort in to avert the danger. We should have been 2-0 up by then anyway. The officiating is abysmal. Cherki on for Lewis please and a bit of Grealish wouldn’t go a miss either. Come on City and in particular Enzo, sort this fucking mess out.

I think it obvious the Club have decided we must carry on playing the Pep way even after him leaving.

Last 2 seasons despite tour Cup wins it has been obvious teams have adapted to the playing style with low blocks and quick counters.

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

Baldie is dead, long live Baldie.

A couple of teaks and we will get a result. Played well in attack and with pace but he's trying to do that with defensive players . Cherki should have been on from the start . Far more guile that Lewis to craft an opening or evn get one himself. Lewis doesn't have it .

Haaland miss was poor and i reckon we could have had a penalty for the pull on Semenyo. Lewis getting elbowe din the head quickly waved away . Would like to see that one again

Also can't put in a cross the save his life, which is extra maddening because he's getting the ball in positions where Nunes puts in excellent crosses

[nottsblue]

No change at half time

Thought we’d have made at least one

[bigblue]

2 wide open headers missed from 5 yards out

[nottsblue]

Diabolical miss from Guehi

Not our day. Two of the worst misses we will have all season in one game

[carl_feedthegoat]

If you cannot fucking head the bastard ball into the goal from there then just fucking give up and take up another sport ffs !!!

[Redna]

If we don't put these away we'll lose..

[carl_feedthegoat]

I bet he closed his eyes - no other explanation

[dave watson's perm]

Dias gives the ball away yet again

[Indianablue]

How can Semenyo be penalised for being pulled over by his shirt - in the fucking box?

[john@staustell]

At last. Nunes

[carl_feedthegoat]

Stupid cunt should have played him from the off

[nottsblue]

Lewis off for Nunes

Hopefully he will be sold before he plays at the Etihad again

[bigblue]

At least Maresca makes the obvious change
