City's players don't seem to have the first idea how to play the conditions. Playing into the wind every pass has been underhit.
I wondered if I was over thinking it before, but now I'm convince I'm not.
Stoke are 'gengenpressing'. They're allowing city to have it in the central third most of the time, then pressing in their defensive third & city's defensive third like Klopp has had us doing.
This last five minutes Stoke are taking the piss are pressing throughout cos city aren't trying, which has made it more obvious.
I wonder whether we'll see other teams adopting it.

What's the difference between gengenpressing and what teams have been doing for years?
A lot of teams made us struggle under Rodgers by pressing high and working very hard as we fucked about at the back.
Very little. I think the only thing that sets it apart is the accuracy of when the press is applied & where in the pitch teams stop & start the press, which klopp has obviously got don't to an art form over the years.
Also you rarely see teams press in numbers in the opponents final third as well as we do now (as soon as their keeper releases it we outnumber them). I remember Utd used to do exactly that too though, made you shit yourself standing on the Kop when the keeper played it short.
So in the league cup semi we have to find a way to beat Gegenpressing.... and hence show others how they should beat us???
Borini you fucking bellend.
Should've well finished that.
Opened up Arsenal with ease there though.

Not that Mankini's bitter about the fact that Citeh were gagging to appoint Guardiola even while he was there, or anything like that.
