StanSP Posted 22 January 2021 Share Posted 22 January 2021 That's a big miss for Man City. They've missed someone like David Silva at times when attacking, don't have a good enough striker so may struggle. Pep sorted out the defence now he has to try and find a way to get more goals in the team without their best player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think his movement is there, like he’s holding himself back a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I feel that recently he hasn't been latching onto scoring opportunities with his usual speed, soureness and fluidity of movement. Now we know why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Frost Posted 22 January 2021 Share Posted 22 January 2021 4 hours ago, ARTY_FOX said: To be fair to Ashley Barnes (and j hate Ashley Barnes) it's the keepers fault. Makes more contact than when their little finger makes contact with the side of the strikers boot and they usually go down and it's called stonewall. But I do think if he isnt given the penalty for the foul by Allison the blatant pull back by fabinho is enough. I'm not sure he would have got it for the pull back but its a definite penalty. You have to remember when you're running hard a player on the ground in front of you is besr protected by you going down, If you have your stride broken and try to stay up its usually difficult to avoid putting your boot down on the guy on the ground. Barnes (and Vardy if accused ) or any other striker have to be given the benefit of the doubt as to whether they were protecting Allison (in this case). But in any case under current VAR rules it was a penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets 'stuck in' - trying to create openings and he has the desire to score from the edge of the action. He has energy too. At 2-0 up against a demoralised Chelsea and BR plays it safe and brings Perez and Iheanacho on - Uender would have been the 'cat amongst the pigeons'. I Dont get greedy, by creating a summision on the managers character..We dont know whats happening behind the scenes, nor the Whys & wherefors We won 2-0, where before many fans were pssing themselves, we could of seen more goals... Under is not being selected to play, from start or Bench....Rodgers will have his reasons..No manager sees it , or ticks like the fans... He quite correctly probably saw Perez & Nacho being the Dynamic descision...I Probably Under doesn't even make it for Brentford... My thoughts are based on, Everything is ok & Under is presenting himself as willing n ready for the cause, across all bases. Or Rodgers just doesn't rate what he brings..I have no idea..!! Another take...The team Sets up for Albrighton, but Rodgers wants to totally change the channels, when he makes the subs.. Or the best shot, Rodgers just likes pssing Off this forum.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzFOX Posted 22 January 2021 Share Posted 22 January 2021 So Liverpool are stuttering due to losing key players, Man city and Leicester potentially affected by losing their 2 best/most influential players that just leaves MANURE. Surely Bruno or Pogba and Cavani or all 3 is due for an long term injury now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnkstern Posted 22 January 2021 Share Posted 22 January 2021 KDB's injury hurts Man City, but they have depth. Vardy's injury hurts Leicester, but we also have options (not like MC does, but still). I still don't believe in Man Utd or OGS, but their results have been impressive. Like some have said, any loss of Bruno would hurt them. I do not know what to make of Liverpool. Yes they have injuries, but most of their attack force has been available. They can't seem to score for some reason, and I am not savvy enough to hazard a guess why. Tottenham, Everton, West Ham, Chelsea, and yes even Arsenal are still lurking. This is a fun season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think you can rule out Villa either. It really could swing a number of ways and im sure the narrative will change. I think Man City have to be the huge favourites from here on in. Hopefully they will unexpectedly drop points here and there and keep things interesting. Chelsea was perhaps the first time that my head started to dream and I appreciate the optimism of many on here at the moment. But without Vardy for 6 games unfortunately I just don't think we will get the 5/6 wins that we would probably need. Hopefully lady luck will be on our side and we get through it. But until we reach that point I will probably be looking down rather than up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
