Just switch over to this - immediately saw Michael Oliver...
Not for build-up play, no.I still shit myself every time Smalling gets the ball and knocks it 5 yards in front of himself.
We do. Hoof it. It's such a shame because there is only one player in our line up suited to hoof football. Surely we should tailor our approach to the majority of our first XI. They all look lost with this approach.2 man midfield was always gonna end up like this.
It's insane against a Guardiola team, just as when SAF used to do it.
Should've played 3 at the back, and 3 in the middle.
This is crap thus far. Proper crap.
Yes, switch to 4-3-3 with Herrera man-marking KDB works for me.Martial been poor so far, needs to be sharper on the ballLingard has heart!
We are not playing a big team. We are playing a very good team that through financial sponsoring has acquired some quality players.Don’t get why our best left sided player has to move positions for one not as good.This is gonna be long...Why's Guardiola arguing with a brick wall?
We paid big money for him to be decent on the right? Baffling how he loses physical battles against most defenders.Can we for the love of God have 3 in midfield, if 4-3-3 is better play McT instead of Lingard or who ever.Who has told our defenders to play this hoof ball? Terrible tactics giving the ball right back to them playing in their handsThis game is going exactly as I expected. We are defending well but just got nothing to offer on the ball.De Bruyne is running the show for them.
They both need to wake up.
Lukaku has been caught on his heels for high balls and the through ball and Rashford has had little impact so far. Both need to wake up. We won't get out of out own half if they don't.
3412 would be betterThe long balls are starting to work.That was a better long ball.Sané's hoof from the corner was more accurate for us than any of ours so far.Walker hammered into Ederson man
Ederson has a better touch than Lukaku for sureCity never looked panicked, even when they are running back to their own goal.
This is galling.Ffs MartialWe are throwing the ball away too easily, can't go all game like this. None of our attackers are good at keeping the ball.
Beats me really. Rashford isn't nearly as goodWhat is the difference in Smalling's distribution to Jones' and Rojo's? Only difference is that the other two are allowed to hoof it aimelessly and Smalling is criticised any time he does that because it looks awkward.Looking more like a 0-0 or a 1 goal win either way.There was a beaut of a hoof that actually created a chance. If we wanna go Allardyce, let's atleast go full pelt!
I can't believe it, surely the opening line when planning for this game would be to 'stop KDB' and plan accordingly.
Where's the third midfielder? McTominay?Even Martials touch letting us down.The one game where I really wanted us to start with 5 at the back...
It is what it is. I just think it'd give us a better balance.Ah shame for jesse and Martial there.Super knock that was. If only it was Martial chasing it down.Martial on the right doesn't work.You have to be an idiot not to have seen that lineup and understood we'd soak pressure and just counter. Hysterics in here as usual- Status
