twister Posted 21 December 2019 Share Posted 21 December 2019 All this comparing to the title team being shown up today they would not have been outplayed like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s happened a lot under Rodgers, very tepid showings in the big games with very similar issues in each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LcFc_Smiv Posted 21 December 2019 Share Posted 21 December 2019 We've been far too deep all game, it's been shambolic. Man City are a good team but if you show them as much respect as we have your only going to get punished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom12345 Posted 21 December 2019 Share Posted 21 December 2019 Man City are so good in getting out of our high press. We should learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LestaAl Posted 21 December 2019 Share Posted 21 December 2019 I think Man City are quite good, in fact better than us. We could lose this! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surrifox Posted 21 December 2019 Share Posted 21 December 2019 Win all your one on one challenges , don’t misplace your passes and keep running to make space - easy game if you’ve got players of the quality of sterling and KDB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a stand-alone performance this has been unacceptable. No effort. 20 mins? more like the whole game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that got to do with the price of cheese? It's been awful, can I not say that? I'm not calling for player or the managers heads, but I can surely have the opinion it's been awful, when it has.

Toddybad Posted 21 December 2019 Share Posted 21 December 2019 3 minutes ago, Dr The Singh said: There playing 3 Infront at times with a expansive midfield that go forward, how is a back 4 with CDM going to cope. Tactics is why Brendan is better then Puel, however he Hasnt go this right, he should have played Praet or Hamza instead of Perex We've effectively played 4-5-1. You seriously think that a sight change of personnel would have meant our players wouldn't give every simple pass away? Lose every 50/50? Get passed off the pitch? You're living in dreamland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 21 December 2019 Share Posted 21 December 2019 Including the absolutely woeful second half in the League Cup away at Everton, that's now the third game in a row where we've not been up for it. And it's Liverpool at home next... Eek. Something's wrong. Stamina issues? Is Rodgers relying on the same players too often? Success gone to the head?

Miles away from that which isn't necessarily our fault, great start got folk dreaming. Don't be a twat.

SecretPro Posted 21 December 2019 Share Posted 21 December 2019 Really disappointed - it's ok to say yeah, it's Man City, but that doesn't excuse our utter lack of effort today. Slow and horrible to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 21 December 2019 Share Posted 21 December 2019 Just now, Innovindil said: People seem surprised that man city are a good side. Which is possibly the weirdest thing of all. We might be having a decent season, but their best is still vastly superior to our best. Need to shake it off and remember the fight for top 4 is still firmly on. Absolutely. The best team has won. And won convincingly. End of. It doesn’t mean we can’t finish top four but the Man City performance tonight oozed class and did so in the blueprint of what we are aiming for. Kinda tough to swallow but they are the better side with the better players which is why our players will want to play for them eventually and why we are beginners in the top four total football world. But if we spend right we might get there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
