COME ON CITY

[nottsblue]

Tonight’s line-up to face West Ham

XI | Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guéhi, Ait-Nouri, Rodri, Bernardo (C), O’Reilly, Marmoush, Semenyo, Haaland

SUBS | Trafford, Dias, Reijnders, Ake, Kovacic, Cherki, Doku, Nico, Foden

The back four and midfield we should have had on Wednesday

And Kovacic? Was actually going to ask in the OP if anyone knew what was up with him as he seems to have been out for ages

Of course it does, only a fake genius would think otherwise

[Nick]

Team he should have played midweek

How many times has cherki started btw?

[sheblue]

It is a team selection a bit more logical than we nonsense we had in Madrid

[Sparklehorse]

We have to fucking well show a pair tonight, otherwise it’s lost. If we indulge in the tippy tappy nonsense, and there is no reason to believe we won’t, then I will hit the roof !! The next 8 days could be brilliant, or it could mean we’ll be supporting whoever Arsenal play in every game to stop them winning everything, which I do by default anyway, time for Haaland to get off his arse and do something !!! Come on City.

[mr_nool]

Happy with that line up. Could possibly have picked Doku over Marmoush

Both can be brilliant or dire, so....

[Crossie]

Fucking fine him a weeks wages go that Al-Nouri. Couldn’t beat the first man 1st corner, 2nd too near the keeper, chance to cross, chance to pass, just wanted glory. I’d sub him off for that amateur bullshit.

[nottsblue]

Silly yellow for Marmoush

[Sparklehorse]

Here we fucking go…..sigh !!

[city72]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[city72]

How have we got a billion pound squad but dull as fuk it’s an entertainment business

[Woodyblue]

Corner hits the first man again Haaland has stood in exactly the same place for every corner and has zero involvement

[Indianablue]

West Ham pretty slow at closing us down. We have had loads of possession but not doing much with it. Very reluctant to get a cross into the box. Sloppy when we do. Haaland just wrestling at corners, waste of time having him there on the line.
Bernie and Reilly seem lively and positive the rest are busy making pretty passing patterns

[city72]

Please a shot on target from anyone

[Nick]

Bored as fuck

Why we messing with semenyo. We have cherki to play there

[PaulieIrish]

God this is dreadful. So slow and predictable. No width whatsoever.

[Indianablue]

Completely static at the freekick for the foul on Haaland. Absolutely no runners. Guehi just stood with the ball staring at them , Then Reilly gives it away under no pressure. As an offensive team, we are pretty poor at the moment and this is against a very easy West Ham. Started playing very sloppy . Got to create something please

[Sparklehorse]

This is depressing, our most creative player on the bench !!!
