Ronald Koeman discussion

Up against 10 men whole second half and just sat back and did nothing. Poor.

They were poor first half and they've spent utter gazillions and we still have to buy a striker. Give it a rest

 

[longers]

Bit Moyes like today, good job first half... but then went into a shell in second half and tried to protect the single goal lead which as we all know never works out well. To be fair it seemed like he tried to switch it up by changing formation but that didn't work out either.

A little depressing that the gulf between us and them is so large that we can still get dominated in terms of possession and ambition despite having an extra man.

Yeah, who are they anyway? Not like they're favourites to win the title or anything.

 

[hktoffee]

The only thing he has done wrong was to go 4 at the back after 60 mins.

But an away point at Citch is a job done.

 

[Deco]

Set us up well and made the right subs. Not getting the 3 points is on the players there.

Dutch Moyles.

 

[Brennan]

Last year

City 0 United 0
City 1 Liverpool 1
City 2 Spurs 2
City 2 Arsenal 1

But ok, we should have gone at them apparently.

Switching formation was a really poor decision, took a way an extra defensive security and ultimately put Holgate in a position Keane most likely would have occupied for that header.

Nothing in that game suggested we would dominate the play with 4 at the back, just made us even more open to being played through in the final 3rd.

 

[ijjysmith]

Went for a point minimum. Got a point.

What's the issue?

 

[Albro]

Should have stuck with the starting formation. Good tactical decision turned into a silly one when bringing on a way underdone Siggy on the left.

 

[Nymzee]

It was literally one poor header that cost us the 2 points. Nothing to do with Koeman.

 

[nsno-chris]

Great tactical masterclass, mourinho would be lauded for doing that.

1 mistake cost us.

 

[Hummus]

two poor substitutions
we needed some pace

Agree was crying out for lookman + Sandro

 

[Brennan]

A poor header from a player who most have been shouting at him to play, I might add.

A poor header from a player who most have been shouting at him to play, I might add.

And he was absolutely outstanding for every other part of the game. He was right to start.
