- [x] The statistics behind Tottenham's win on Sunday might suggest it was another Jose Mourinho masterclass. In reality it was more a story of Manchester City's missed chances.
Red card will annoy Guardiola more than the misses
Manchester City have now lost six games in the Premier League this season, their joint-most in a single campaign under manager Pep Guardiola (six in 2016-17).Manchester
City have gone consecutive games without scoring for the first time under Guardiola, having last done so back in March 2016 under Manuel Pellegrini (three games without a
goal).
Manchester City have failed to score four of the last six penalties they have taken across all competitions
- [x] Manchester City host West Ham in their next Premier League game on Sunday, 9 February (16:30).
FAN QUESTIONS
- [ ] Darren Beswick Poor finishing cost the game yesterday I don't think slagging players off works we all need to stick together move forward and get back to being the great team that we are. Personally I would like to see Garcia get a run of games under his belt the lad is class
=-
- [ ] Mark Dorey There are a few points on here I definitely want to know the answers to. But the main question I’ve not seen is why we persist with Zinchenko as a left back. He’s not a left back, he’s a left winger. Every time we get targeted there. If we’re not playing Mendy there, why not Cancelo. It’s like we got lucky with Delph one week and Pep’s decided than anyone can play there. Zinchenko is a decent attacker, but the one bit of defending he did this weekend he got booked (and subsequently sent off) for.
=-
Andy Callery With the league gone, one final booked. And realistically only the FA cup left to win, weve not a prayer in champs league, is it time if Foden is Silvas replacement to get him involved. After all its Davids last 13 games now and to throw foden in on day one in 20/21 season may be a bit rash. He needs regular starts and involvement now. Not just last 10 mins every now and then
=-
Carl Turner Does the team actually work on finishing in training? It seems to me that all they work on is retaining possession and passing. We seem to have forgotten how to finish of chances including penalties.
=-
Neill Morton Not sure how everyone else feels but I have alot of questions.
Why is fernandinho still on defense?
Why hasn't Mendy been replaced?
Why didn't we replace Kompany?
Why did Silva get captain when he seems to be a sub this season?
Why did Sterling become terrible?
Why does Gundogan not seem like a threat any more?
Why does every game seem like the opposition scores when they get a shot?
Why dont we play foden?
Why are we missing so many penalties?
Why do we never score from corners?
I'm sure you all have alot of questions too
=-
Trudy Burns Why did aguero not take the penalty yesterday, sterling ,otamendia,stones and mahrez need to go
=-
Mursal CAli We need also to adress to give youngsters a chances to play like foden and garcia and also
To mix our games with long passes and shooting from
From distance Because teams adopted our tikitaka football
Energy wasting
=-
The hypocritical media and PL/FA who often said Utd’s dominance was good for football but City’s wasn’t !!! now calling out Pep for mentioning it !!!
--
- [x] Do you think athleticism and general lack of pace is hindering this city side ? Things seemed fine when ferna was in midfield with his dynamism. Walker essentially saved the back 4's behind vs utd with his pace
--
- [x] Are City unlucky this season or have teams got their tactics right against us or do we have serious strategic issues?
--
- [x] Rodri/Gundogan double pivot doesn't work and Pep needs to dispose of it ASAP
- [x] Pep can't legislate for abysmal finishing. He got his tactics spot on in both defeats this week
Squad needs an overhaul in the summer
--
I have a question for u to debate about, Does possession football work anymore and is counter attacking football the future for football?
