Can't believe mane didn't go on the second touch

Yeah I was expecting a Mane special. Curler far corner....

 

[Modo]

Get us a goal Trent!

Yep bit of a head scratcher that one.

I have to have the sound down, I cannot stand Carra's helium-voiced waffle. Why do they keep giving him our games? If I supported the other side I'd hate it. He's not insightful anyway, he's just moaning away for no one's benefit.

 

[Red Mullet]

Good swing, too high

I like him tbh.

Keeper would have saved it.

 

[gkmacca]

What play acting!

 

[gkmacca]

I like him tbh.

He drives me crazy.

 

[Modo]

Fucking hell, what's wrong with them today. Why doesn't anyone shoot?!

 

[darkstarexodus]

Why are we continually trying to make one extra pass? Ederson is wank. Put the ball on net.

 

[Red Mullet]

Keeper would have saved it.

Nah, it’s raining. It would’ve slipped through his fingers

 

[davud graham]

I just wish our strikers would have a fucking shot now and again

 

[keniget]

Too many of our lads are not involved.
A formation change at HT, please.

Snap.

 

[Shadey]

He drives me crazy.

Like no one else..

I think Ederson is good to be fair.

 

[MomoWASright]

They’ve been poor most second halfs this season so hopefully we can step it up and get 17 more goals.

 

[MomoWASright]

I think Ederson is good to be fair.

He is a decent keeper. My memory thinks he is prone to more than a few brain farts. I could be mistaken.

 

[Halmeister]

We should've scored a couple while we were on top. Better after the pen miss. We dropped off, then started again. Just keep at them. They're proper dodge at the back.

 

[Halmeister]

He is a decent keeper. My memory thinks he is prone to more than a few brain farts. I could be mistaken.

Yeah he is. But on the whole, he's one of the best keepers in the league.

 

[gkmacca]

Mane can cut out the clever-clever stuff until we're, oh, five up. Otherwise, I thought we played some really good stuff. They don't have the attacking power we have. If we use it well enough, it should be good enough.

 

[Donavan Ried]

We are fortunate to be going in on level terms...
Playing weel, but it is just not work up front. keep saying it, but we need to swap Frimino and Jota around. Just feel that Bobby a struggling abit, and lacks confidence and seems a bit slow...

Bobby two season ago chip Edison early on...
Allow Frimino to play further back and pull the strings

Yep. A couple of smarter decisions with the last pass and we could easily be 2 ahead

half time thoughts

• Bobby is hindering us ... He hasn't played badly, but him playing up front means Jota is in the middle 3, where he is far far less dangerous ...
• Man City have not been great, our defense has been decent ... but that being said, they should be up 2-1 ...
• Happy with 1-1 at half ... We'll be the better team 2nd half, so hopefully, we make it count.
• Sterling is a cry baby bitch.

 

[darkstarexodus]

That's probably true, but he's got mistakes in him. Feel he's often overconfident. Let's test him

 

[Frogfish]

We've had at least 3 excellent chances to score. Even with their penalty miss we should still be leading - can't believe we're not but hopefully we'll put this to bed second half. City can still pass the ball around nicely but without David Silva and Aguero they don't look anywhere near as sharp up top.

 

[Shadey]

Keeper was well off his line for mane’s chance should have shot.

 

[SummerOnions]

On the whole, the formation has been unusual for me. What seems like an asymmetric 4-4-2 with Bobby and Mo up top, defending in banks of 3 with one man spare at the opposite side. It worked well until de Bruyne started coming more to the right and then it looks like they found a bit of a flaw. If we continue with it we need a way to get Gini further back to cover on our left side

Totally agree

I really think another man in the actual middle instead of firmino as some half no.10 and we'd be strolling this.
