Man City (H) - Match Thread

This is ****ing embarrassing 

[RoboFox]

Could be a long afternoon.

We like to make these look better than they are, we always do it however we somehow get the result but I'll withhold my judgement for now

[Flappit]

It's bizarre watching a game like this. They're so technically good that we simply cannot make any headway against them. Logic says with the press they're doing, there should be space, but we're not good enough to pass around their high press so we simply end up giving the ball back to them repeatedly. 

[Tuna]

Wonder what the possession stats are for us in their half?

[Sly]

We’re too deep and passive here. 

[sishades]

Yawn

[TJB-fox]

Need to slow this down and get on the ball

[Dorkingfox]

Yep giving the ball away far to much

[foxfanazer]

Sitting ducks. Would love us to be brave once in a while

[whoareyaaa]

Ward doing well.

[Phube]

Has anyone told us we play in blue?

[Sly]

Lumping it long to no one isn’t going to help us. 

[Suzie the Fox]

Most touches so far...

 

Danny Ward ? 

[Flappit]

We are dropping too deep though. They have men over to pass to in our final third, which is madness. 

[Larry_LCFC]

May aswell play all defenders. Totally ineffective as an attacking team. Can't even get out our own half.

[EastAnglianFox]

I know they are good but this is embarrassing...literally just bending over for them waiting for the inevitable.

 

You watch us start to play once we go 3 down

[Sly]

This looks like an FA Cuo game, where the non league team setup to defend against a Premier League team. 

[Nalis]

Its like waiting to die this

[Suzie the Fox]

At least a lot of the forum will be happy we not pissing about passing around the back Lol

this must be the death by football system.

The problem with setting up in this way is that it promotes lethargic play.  We're looking slower and slower as the half drags on.

It's alright playing the low block but you have to be more aggressive and work harder at closing down, maybe we are playing the roper dope

[Sly]

I’ve just seen us put 10 passes together!
