Man City Match Thread

[Sunbury Fox]

Yet another pitiful and embarrassing 45 minutes. Obviously they're on a totally different level to us but can we not at least make them work for the 3 points? We're going down without even a whimper.

I.miss the days when we were competitive against these sides

Looks like the bulk of posters cant see past the goals conceded, we clearly better going forward than under rodgers ball, and against teams around us should fare better.

Nothing to do with City going 3-0 up and taking the foot off the pedal?

 

Better going foward cos we have scored?

better going forward because we have had a shot on target?

Good job we are letting him go for free.

Regardless of the score, far improved overall compared to Rodgers ball and the SAS squad. 3 goals conceded, all starting with massive individual mistakes, but on the whole, we grew confidence and looked more settled. Game is over but now we have to fight for pride. 

Looks like it’s taken us 25 mins to get the shite out our system, hopefully ithats it.

We will score 4 in the second half.  

 

 

Maybe against Rotherham next season but not this game.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Same old Leicester 

 

we are toying with them

 

3-4 after second half masterclass

Maybe, but all we would have done under Rodgers, is pass it between our defenders, then lose it before crossing the halfway line.

I'd bring Mendy on for Nididi in the next game and also Daka and Nacho up top... Vardy is done.

 

I'd also drop Souttar and have Faes Soy back four

Let's not re write history, Soyuncu had been poor for a while, but watching him.alongside Souttar and Faes, he just looks a classier operator. For him to be completely frozen out in a relegation battle was terrible management.

Had assumed he was done, but was as a good as anyone that half. Fair play Cags. 

[Nobbyburton]

Absolutely loving this half time analysis of our defending by Kolo Toure. Particularly the bit about how you shouldn’t be conceding from set pieces in games like this.

I have a near irrational dislike of Alan Smith. 

I've been watching without the sound on after the 2nd goal. Smith and Tyler were just unbearable.

There is no fight or closing down, you will win no games in the prem without fight.

Where's that posterv that said Stowell reckons all this lot needs is some love?

 

They're ****ing disgraceful to a man. Either got their wallets or their feet out of the door.

 

Wouldn't give a single shit about any of these players being hounded out of the game. Utterly embarrassing. To be honest, it's hard not to wonder about Brendan whining about how shit they are given the fact that they look like anthropomorphised turds.

 

Disgrace to the shirt.

Is this the first time the words anthropomorphised turds have been used on FT?

Right but 50m is the minimum we will get for him in the summer if we sell him this season. If we don't he will go on a free next summer. He's not a leader and that will affect his value also, if he was as good as he is but also a top captain and professional we would be able to command more with only 12 months left on his contract. But agree, we are just guessing. But given the choice between 50m in summer and signing a couple of real leaders, or £0 next season i'd take the 50m personally.

Norman Schwarzkopf was a real leader. Not sure I would have him in our midfield. My point is as simply that, I believe, if you put him in a team with players that have to also take the attention of the defence, then he will shine.

[MancFox24]

Let's look at the positive, Maddison has been really good and I like the position he's playing. Has to give him this free role for the rest of the season

Wilf for Mendy

Vardy for Kel

KDH for Tete

Agree with the first 2, not the game for Tete, Praet for Tielemans, who's been garbage.

We haven't gone 3-0 up though

Come again? 

 

At least it makes sense. Unlike that bizarrely enraged comment.

 

[LCFCbwoi]

31 games into the season and Vardys still starting, Nacho been by far our best striker all season he’s started like half a dozen games.

 

Not much hope when Sadler and Stowell are consulting the new management. Start Iheanacho over Vardy with this team for the rest of the season and we might have a chance.

The decision to play Vardy was ridiculous. Offers nothing these days I'm sad to say. Why can't these highly paid coaching teams see what is so obvious to fans?

[Royston.]

Souttar's sprint looks like a statue running with a washing machine on his back..

 

..through water

On they conserving their energy for the next game 

Maddison looks like he can’t be bothered pressing 

He's a rat - should refuse to sell him and make him do a year in the championship then go for free
