It's not that hard to see players are precisely instructed to not keep the ball in their own half of the pitch today.
Everyone does the same, first touch control, second touch looking up, third touch kicking it forward beyond the midfield line

It's not that hard to see players are precisely instructed to not keep the ball in their own half of the pitch today.
Everyone does the same, first touch control, second touch looking up, third touch kicking it forward beyond the midfield lineSeriously what has happened to Herrera?
Used to be so good.Good grief Ander.
Jesus with the unpunished dived.Did that baldy cnut Kompany kick out at Herrera after?Martial tasked with defensive responsibilities and thus nullifying his best qualities. We need to give their defenders some problems.
Much better him through the middle or on the left.What the fecking hell was that???Studs showing from Kompany.Lukaku hasn't held up the ball in a decent attacking position yet. Disappointing.Pep's jacket is ugly as feck.Diving bastard JesusCan’t string two passes together. Men v boys at times.I am really confused with our tactic.KdB is having his way with us.
We would still play like scared sheeps too.Martial the only attacking player showing any impetus.Dixon talking absolute bollocks on NBCOur best period involves Martial carrying the ball on the deck (shock) not quite getting a through-ball right then we win the ball back and goad Grandpa Kompany into diving in rashly. We have enough in this team to hurt them with the ball on the floor, stop hoofing it every time for God's sake.
penalty wasn't given, so noOur passing is pathetic.
What the hell is wrong with this place? Jesus Christ. City is passing the ball around in hopes of creating an opening and supposedly we’ve been completely dominated. It’s lead to nothing so far and they haven’t even had a grade A chance.
...Rashford and Lukaku were less than a foot away from connecting and being up 1-0 ffsThree simply disgusting dives
yeah that's alarm bells, surely?!Come on crowd -we need to support the lads! Let them have possession and then hit them on the break. We are getting under their and Pep’s skin. Let hang in here boys!Cheating so and ao Jesús. Can the FA ban him?
The new shitecoat
That’s the Christmas spirit!Refs are feckin shit. You'e not given a pen so it' a fecking dive so why isn' it a yellow?We are a completely different team without Pogba. It’s crazy.City might be way better but we are the way more efficient team in front of goal which gives me hope.That was like the 4th or 5th run KdB made into our area. Whoever is marking him isn't doing a very good job.We could not have asked for a worse ref.
what passing !Why can' t sky have a commentator who speaks English? Carragher is unbearable to listen toHow is that a foulDe Bruyne runs faster with the ball than Herrera.
Yep. First glance looked worse than it was.Say a prayer, and kick it up to Lukaku
Working wellThis is what we've been saying from day one. Spend all that money to be a one man team. No game plan whatsoever apart from hoof.
Pathetic
So angry I got excited by the line upAnother Rojo long ball ffs.
I'd prefer Martial and Lukaku to swap positions.This is quite painful to watch. Struggling to string two passes together.- Status
