keithsimmonds Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Gutted by that team selection...did not expect christensen to play or Chilwell for that matter and changing 3 of the 4 is pushing imho. Jorghino will be up against it with both Grealish and our ex player Traore and is odds on to pick up a yellow. Liked to have seen Billy and Havertz play.. still it is what it is and i fully expected us to win this game...not so sure now though....liked to be proved wrong.????

keithsimmonds Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Why didn,t Chilwell get as far forward against the arsse as he is so far tonight....his movement and passing has been all forward so far as opposed to the constant passing back to Silva on Saturday......keep it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Yes only a home point ,but if one take,s Villa,s and our recent form ,perhaps not a bad result Lamp,s has to immediately tinker with another formation, 4x4x3 is not working,otherwise his tenure maybe at risk. I,am presently remaining calm as the team,s above us are hardly,setting the world alight???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgit Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 You can't argue too much about that display, against a Villa team who are flying at the moment. I thought Azpilicueta was terrific. His attitude is second to none. Christenson was OK overall and Rudiger was very good considering they've been on the periphery all season. Even Jorginho played his part. Pulisic will click into top gear very soon.. All he needs is that ball to go into the net. Chilwell annoyed me because he was played into great positions for the cross, but his final ball was below par. Even the cross to Giroud for the goal was difficult, but Giroud's finish was class. Hudson -Odoi's game has reached a new level. His passing was excellent and there is a maturity about him now. Havertz looked very lively coming on which augurs well for the future. He looked like that Covid break is behind him now. Now, all we've got to do is get our away form to match our play at home. It's a mystery to me as the stadiums are empty, so there's no excuse of the crowd being the 'twelfth man". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 minus 2 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) ... Admittedly the game was on in the background.. but I did catch most of it.. and sorry but call me old school but Frank's got an abundance of VERY expensive front players that are far to similar i'de say wingers but that wouldnt be right.. but not so wrong.. today there was a.lack of presence in the center of your attack... Like.... Well a Sunday am coach should have been able to see... Sori but from a neutral perspective I thought Frank got it SO wrong today and HONESTLY. I think he's got the balance of the squad all wrong.. Edited January 3, 2021 by 3 minus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithsimmonds Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Great game if your a City fan....i did like there 1st goal myself but after that..we were an utter shambles. I don't rate Jorginho but at least when he plays he holds and occupies the same area of the pitch...Kante Mount and Kovacic are all over the place...Kante one minute defending in our box next minute he is on the edge of there box.There pressing caused us all sorts of problems and our pressing caused us all sorts of problems ......watch the game again Frank and sort it out. Pep got lucky with the players that they were without imho .... I would n,t have Walker if he was Free and Foden should be playing every week,credit to him though for putting Sterling up against Chilwell. Sometimes your best team on paper is just that..your best team on paper and that certainly applies to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't go into a match over confident against City, no matter who they have on the pitch. I don't know what Ziyech was showing in training but he did nothing of note in this game. His laziness left Azpilicueta high and dry on numerous occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as i'de like to say pep got lucky... he didn't. he put sterling down the right, first time? .he ABSO 100% knew he'd skin your lb and he did, and foden down the left KNOWING he'd draw your bac and leave space... Both worked SO well and once it worked the others in city ran riot.. I ain't a fan of peps sterile tippy tappy... But he ABSO did Frank today..and once it unfolded.. i'de more than happily give Frank a bashin, but from what I saw, defensively there wasn't an awful lot he could do...still think He's <deleted> up with the balance of the squad...and upfront yesterday his choises were. poor... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deej Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 With the dog,s now out Barking,for Lamp,s sacking, FWIW , my view is the following???? Csea has to play,Fham away, Lcity away,Wolve,s at home,which takes Csea through to end of January Lamp,s must win at least 2 or face ,Roman itchy finger. BUT What is in Lamp,s favour ,is the nature of results so far in the EPL with Lpool,s loss last nite to Shampton,further compounds, what a crazy season so far. I feel every mngr, from top to bottom are under the pump, not just Lamps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithsimmonds Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 If an offer is made or interest is shown for Jorginho in the coming days then i would n,t be surprised to see us go in for D Rice. We should but won,t get Marc Guehi back from Swansea....i just hope we don,t loan out Tomori. If Frank wants to stay with his "all out attack " football then you need some physical mobile logs of wood in front of the back 2 or 3....Rice fits that description ...Kante will have to play in "Deep Sea divers boots" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithsimmonds Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 So Pep walks on water again as a result of putting both Mendy and Walker in there correct position...(bench)... and Foden rightfully is on from the start....just leaves Stones not too have one of his brainfart moments that he is oh so capable of having and everything is Rosie for City again in this thickle Epl league. For us Frank must play a full strength team against Morecambe and Wise on Sunday..... and we must wallop them....easy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All defenders have a brainfart in them, even 'the world's greatest defender' up at Liverpool had a few before his injury.
