Lundstram just killed that attack, fck off

 

[Geordie Blade]

Just can’t get the ball off them. They’re by far the best team in the league.

It’s so hard. Man City are absolute experts at game management. The way they play just stops the other team from getting any numbers forward - it’s just too risky to commit against them.

The only option is to play tight, don’t make mistakes (so much for that!) and hope that you get a huge slice of luck.

 

[breeny]

Wide play fannying about again ffs.

Looks like it’s back in our game again...could have tried to cross

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

If and when we do go down, we need some pace in midfield. The number of times it gets slowed down when we could break. Easier said than done I know.

 

[essexblade73]

Got some wankers on commentary on my stream, think one is iain dowie, so biased to city

 

[Shoreham_Bhoys]

Man City’s entire squad would walk into our XI, they are just much better and hot favourites to win the PL.

3 points from an away Manchester double is incredible, we had no right to get any points with our squad.

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Dilemma what to do - We have to be quicker as commentators says - too slow and ponderous on the ball to find the pass and snuffed out. Option is to play faster - more misplaced passes and chance we get caught on counter. God - Man City look up for it. But pleased we at least having a go

 

[FredZeppelin]

Appart form the awful defending for the goal I think we're doing ok.
Man Utd aren't even a 10th as good as this City team are.
It's testament to CWAK and the players that we on the same field.
Just need to get a shot away a bit quicker.
UTB

Lundstram just killed that attack, fck off

He’s wanderering around like he doesn’t give a monkeys. Shoulders slumped. Probably realised his £60k a week is a pipedream.

He absolutely does my head in. Slows play down, doesn’t work hard, thinks he’s 10x better than he actually is etc etc

Would have taken that last season, never mind this season.

 

[Drunk blade]

Brewsters movement is appalling

 

[McGoaldrick]

Brewster looks so much more confident, head up and picking passes. Praying he gets a chance to score

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Fuck me George get your head up!

 

[Iceybabey]

Finally some urgency and a bloody shot!

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Has anybody counted how many players man city have on the field? I counted 23.

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

For once Wilder will be justified if he says at end of match about quality of opposition and not going toe to toe with these. I’m happy how we are playing - goal aside

 

[A Storm of Blades]

We’re doing fine. Didsy on for Lundstram

 

[YES Blade]

Impressed with Bogle again, not great for the goal but looks so good on the ball.

One of the few positives from this season.

 

[BangorBlade]

If and when we do go down, we need some pace in midfield. The number of times it gets slowed down when we could break. Easier said than done I know.

Well be looking at a new midfield whether we stay up or go down

 

[BaldyBlade]

We've got 2 foul throws! Gotta be worth something

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

2 FOUL THROWS

 

[Iceybabey]

Is it just me or has Boldock been on juice? Looks like he's been smashing weights with JOC.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Man City very unprofessional

 

[blades78]

Lundstram just killed that attack, fck off

Given the ball away every time he's had it. Piss poor.

The sooner Berges back the better

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

All those billions spent on players and they can’t take a throw in

 

[Arcott]

Don't think we're doing that bad at the minute. One piece of ridiculously shit defending. But it is so frustrating that when we get in to half decent positions everything slows down and we start fannying about. Need to leave Burke on half way and then it gives an option to clear over the top and chase

 

[ryza]

Our left sides been exposed

 

[Stevo]

2 FOUL THROWS

Pep is useless at coaching throw ins, what a clown
