mrbojangles Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I know Bernado got MoM for his hat trick but KdB was absolutely awesome today. That's the KdB we know and love. Bit of a stroll but after 5-0 in 17 mins the game was over. Nice to see some of the young and new lads getting plenty of minutes under their belts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Good to see Mahrez come in to form. The last 2 games, particularly today, he has been excellent. You could see today he was really confident and popped up all over causing problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Could only find a live stream last night in *arabic, but aside from that I really enjoyed the game and our performance. It was great to see Eric Garcia and Angelino given their PL debuts at the weekend plus Mendy back, as it was last night to see 17 yr old Stockport lad Taylor H-B pencil (at City since aged 6) given his debut, Foden back from his bout of a poorly tummy (bless him), Mendy get another 30 mins plus young Bernabe given some time. Good game, plenty of action, Jesus should have had 3 or 4, and played in a good spirit. I tried predicting the team before the game (always difficult to second-guess Pep) but who could have foreseen a back line of Cancelo and Angelino (both starting at last) either side of a 17 and 18 year rookie pairing. *those arabic commentators must breath through their ears as not for a second do they stop talking, and as rarely were any players names mentioned, from which it seems that they must waffle on about opinions or something as opposed to commeting on what they are seeing.

We had it on BEin 11 with full english commentary Was really impressed with the performances of the young un's. The Academy is now starting to bare some fruit and I'm sure ther'll be lots more to come through. One thing about Mendy, why on earth does he have to power every shot so hard? It's proving quite difficult for anyone to control it who is on the receiving end of the pass or cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Not much between City and Everton over the years. We've won 3 more in 120 years. They've won 1 more in the PL years. Never for us easy against Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave you over the years. In Pep's 3 year reign we've won 3 drawn 2 lost 1. So not great. They maybe a shower of <deleted> to Liverpool as the records show, but for some reason we struggle against them, again as the records show. I'd rather be playing ManU today for obvious reasons.

Yes, on current form etc we should beat them but our defence isn't stable due to injuries. So, although I think we should win, there has to be some cautiousness.

mrbojangles Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 That was a very difficult match. Not made easier by missing 2 absolute sitters. I honestly don't know why Pep keeps playing Gundogan as plenty of others deserve a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Tough tough game. Thought Everton gave us a real game and until the 3rd went in i didn't think we'd do it. Well done Ederson for twice saving us - can't handle corners freekicks can we with the diddy men. Mahrez excellent and has been for the past 4 games. Rodri excellent as usual. Back 4, scarey but got over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickG16 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 OK.. they gave you a good game. But Aguero was on the bench. You are still an excellent team, no reason why you shouldn't be challenging. Liverpool will slip up eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellydog Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Happy to get three points out of that. Anything less against Everbad would have been hard to swallow. Way too sloppy in midfield at times for my taste. Seems that sharpness we are used to goes missing more often this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season's 4th choice centre-back being paired with a 5'9" 34 year old central midfielder just isn't good enough to maintain a PL challenge. Fernandinho got caught out repeatedly yesterday and didn't look like he was a defender, Otamendi couldn't handle Calvert-lewis on the ground or in the air, both want to play rightside and it's not going to work. Think it'd better for Pep to decide between either Garcie and Harwood-Bellis, and maybe Walker, who to pair with Otamendi, and maybe play Rodri paired with Fernandinho in front of our makeshift CB pairing, and run with it until sicknote Stones - the new Kompany - returns. We got away with it yesterday due to Ederson but against better quality we will pay if he persists with Dad's Army pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
