Cant watch the game, how are we doing?

Jim Beam · Jan 29, 2020

Matic has been great. And not just because of the goal, he constantly tries to push the team forward.

Thought we'd signed Mason Mount as well

Fred has been terrific, some people don't know what they're meant to be looking for.

A-man · Jan 29, 2020

Fred’s been good but at the same time some great opportunities for City came from him losing the ball.

They dominate, but we have defended well. Just like you would have imagined. We have one shoot on goal and scored.

Alabaster Codify7 · Jan 29, 2020

If it goes to pens, we may as well forfeit - it'll be over once we miss our first penalty. City will go 5-0 against DDG.

When's McSauce due back?

Greenwood off for James

James on for greenwood (slight knock??)

GifLord · Jan 29, 2020

James replacing Mason

Irrational. · Jan 29, 2020

Greenwood off, James on. Decent sub. Now need to bring off Lingard somehow.

A-man · Jan 29, 2020

James will add SPEED

Coops73 · Jan 29, 2020

Micah Richards has got a really punchable face.

It's a very high risk strategy trying to play it around to beat the press. Definitely on the edge of Fred's ability. He's doing everything he's been asked though. New three-lung in some ways.

No away goals, any draw goes to pens

Did they change the rule?

Pretty sure the last time I remember Chicharito‘s goal against Sunderland semi final in Moyes era which led us to extra time. Away goal only counted in after extra time.

TMDaines · Jan 29, 2020

Can’t be surprised by the change. Greenwood isn’t ready for this level. We need a centre forward in.

Sassy Colin · Jan 29, 2020

Not sure about this substitution, James is pretty much never going to score a goal out of nothing.

Rampant-red · Jan 29, 2020

Jesus is it me but the Man City fans are one ugly bunch. When they fell out of the ugly tree they hit every branch on the way down

0le · Jan 29, 2020

Greenwood injured. James is coming on.

That's what you have a keeper on the bench for

Losing the ball has been a problem for the whole team, we don't look comfortable trying to play the ball out which is obviously what Ole has told them to do. Luckily it hasn't cost us

Fred needed time to settle when he came, and now he is really good

Bravo gaff incoming hopefully. Has the feeling it could happen.

He always has a rick in him. Maybe Fred can get one on target?

SirAnderson · Jan 29, 2020

Lingard losing the ball so much, but hey take Greenwood off.
But not like MG did much to deserve staying on either.

Should read Brandon instead of Mason...

And James is? Better Mata, he's slow, but he has guile.

We had the same issue at OT in the first game (second game against them) mate.
The game changed at OT when Pep decided to adapt to us. Ole adapted again, so right now, James I don't think is the answer.

Also, for what it's worth, at Etihad in the league, James played on the right and we defended without pressing, etc... but recently, due to the lack of creativity in the midfield, we are in the process of pushing our full backs up and James then had to go left or get out of the team because on the right, he behaves like a pure winger.

We're not creating any chances here, though. We haven't created anything besides from the goal, and we have/will spend most of the match chasing the ball.

I think City are playing at their best and we know how to beat them at their best. And that is not to keep it tight and hit em on the break. Why Lingard is no threat. Imagine if we had our best players available?

Agree re the missing players. I’d have fancied this massively before the game if they’d all been fit. This isn’t the city of last year, but they do still have that if they have the motivation to click.

Nou_Camp99 · Jan 29, 2020

Martial won't even need to have his kit washed. He's barely broke a sweat.

Irrational. · Jan 29, 2020

Yeah, feck off Riyad.

Ranchero · Jan 29, 2020

Maguire and Matic massive so far
