Could of swore i heard the fans singing 'its a grand old team' just then

Wish a ref would book Rodri or just sarcastically hand him the whistle. He gets away with cheap cynical fouls and constant surrounding of the ref every week

I like Grealish, still think hes pretty good, but there are games where he just does not fit in for City. This is one of them.

They miss an actual left back

City are an odd team at the minute. Something hasnt seemed right with them this season. Whether it’s guardiola or the players or both I don’t know. But the cancelo thing was telling, one of city’s better players the last couple of years bombed out to Bayern after falling out with pep. I’d suspect he isn’t the only one.

Should book every single player who raises their hand when the ball goes out.

Of course you'd not have anyone left after 10 minutes.

You did, Spurs sing it also.

And right back. Walker isn't really forward enough to count. They're trying to play without fullbacks with the ball but with them when defending. It hasn't worked at all and yet every match they're doing it again.

Never knew that!

Kyle Walker has kept City in this game. 99% of players have been burned by Son in the amount of space that Walker is covering.

Did the same to Mbappe a few months back

When will the short goal kick trend die. I get the point if you're trying to draw a team out of a defensive block but the slavish adherence to it is counter productive.

City are absolutely fixated by it, Arsenal, Everton until yesterday. It never seems to lead to a goal, at best it leads to a slow build towards the opponents half.

Not saying go back to 90s automatic hoof every time but surely now that attacking players have adapted the way they press intelligent managers would mix it up a bit more?

City and Arsenal are top 2 like

 

[MikeH72]

I’m sorry but he should be booked for this.

True, but when it isn't working they don't do anything to try and change it. City have dropped loads of points (relatively obviously) this season but never try anything different.
