Thought I was hallucinating
So bizarre.Half-timeWeird half. I thought we played well in bunches, and City hardly had us pinned in our own box. Saying that, though, they can turn it from 0 to 100 like that.Real lack of urgency and poor decision making. Think we could use rashfords pace in the 2nd half.Not a bad half. They're obviously better but we've made a good account of ourselves for the most part. The left side of our team doing a lot better than the right side though. Elanga, Wan Bissaka, McTominay and Pogba have struggled hard IMO and all need to step up (or be swapped with Dalot, Rashford, Matic).Our defence just isn't good enough. We have not played badly. We're in a bad position cos every part of the backline is continuously losing 1v1 duels.Maguire on attacking corners is something else I swearWe could absolutely score again, unfortunately I have very little confidence that we won't concede a third.
I feel we haven't been battered at all. Was expecting much worse.
I would agree with that. He looks akwards trying to press. I expect him to be gassed very early in the 2nd halfIt’s so weird when you juxtapose mosh pits at music concerts in the 20th century and what happens in there, and then compare it to a football match in 2022 where everything stops if someone falls unconscious.Not as bad as I feared. Gifted them two goals.When city have the ball they are always looking to move forward. Quick free kicks constantly trying to score. We win a free kick and take about ten years to choose who’s taking it.Frustrating, this. We're defending badly but we look so capable of scoring at the other end. There's goals in this for us if we can just compose ourselves a bit more and get on the ball more.Two absolutely shite goals to give away.
Good, good. Let the hate flow through youThink I'd take McTominay off at half time, he has absolutely zero tactical awareness and doesn't track runs.
I'd prefer Phil Jones at least he'd do the defensive side of the game properly.Can we have a back 4 please, and a midfield would be useful, and maybe some strikers sometimeWe're still in this game...........We look good in their half and shit in ours.If I was Maguire I'd hide in the toilets and not come out for the 2nd half.Still in this game, we are getting lots of chances, but AWB and Victor are getting rinsed down the left side.Think we’ve done ok tbf. We’ve had some decent chances and don’t look as far off them as I was expecting.
Maguire getting slated every time he goes near the ball is tiring.
Need more from Bruno, Pogba and Elanga would be my only criticism.Performance hasn't been anywhere near as bad as I feared but we're down because of diabolical defending. Hard to see City letting the lead go for a second time... but we'll see.
We’ve been like this for a good few years. It’s proof that the squad, generally speaking, has the talent, but they completely lack the execution to do so consistently
Yes a club starting a bright young prospect six times, two thirds of the way into a season is generally a sign of a poorly run club running its young players into the ground.Pogba off Matic on.
Exactly. The difference between this game and the 0-2 loss at OT is crazy. We look so much better, just the defending is so shite.Pretty good game of football so far. Considering the level of opposition, we haven’t done too badly, we have scored a really good goal and with a bit more edge in the final third there could be a second. City obviously are very dangerous when attacking but in disappointed with the goals we have conceded as the team hadn’t tracked De Bruyne well enough for either goal.
No.
He couldn't do much else with the saves he has made.
Without him it'd be three.Maguire with one of the worse showcases of athleticism I've ever seen.I’m not even enthusiastic anytime we score because I know our defence won’t hold anyway.Not a bad half all-told. Some good attacking/countering from us at times, but the brainless, cagey defending is endemic.
I have the feeling City could up a gear or two and take it away from us but as of now it's telling that we're rueing being behind quite as much as we are.McTominay and Fred have been useless and people are here chatting about Pogba......
Time to try Matic I think.Been battered since we scored, although it could easily be 2-2.
Citys control of the game is exceptional. They are working harder as well. They win all the 50/50s.Doing ok , probably fall a bit short but at least we are in the game.
Yeah I agree, I don't really blame Sancho - he could have done better, but it's difficult to set yourself if you don't know when the pass is coming.Such a shame we have so many weak players in our team. It's actually been the first time I've seen us play this City team with a more than an underdog mentality and looking quite good for the first 20 minutes. They ceded possession in their half quite a few times.
That second goal was absolutely criminal.
