***City v Coventry Official Match Thread***

[sheblue]

I really hope that performance was a one off, because today a better team beats us no problem.

This back 3 with dias in the centre needs to be looked at.

[Sparklehorse]

That last 30 mins was abysmal. Jesus, there was absolutely nothing in the tank. Three points hey ho. How many times do I have to put up with that kind of game. We will get tonked next weekend with that shite.

[zabbadabbado]

Not a great performance.

3 points is 3 points though.

No one played great.

Got to say though Foden was fucking terrible.

He is supposed to be a creative midfielder. Yet he does absolutely fuck all other than Grealish type passes. Seriously what is the point in playing him. Subbing Cherki for him made us worse.

[Sideshow Bob]

foden is an absolute paper bag of a player. and for the 3rd season running! I really hope the penny has dropped for maresca.

Anderson had a great game today. Clear man of the match.

[gaudy]

New players in so will take time to get right which i think we will. The quality is there.

Whats worrying is the dias situation, its clear he's not good enough but not only is he playing him he's captain.

Fodens appearances i think will finally fade away , wont be starting and even i think will now be left on bench & not brought on. Sad but he's been given more chances then anyone

Anderson had a great game today. Clear man of the match.

Not for me, he was the only outfield player that could claim to have had a decent game. However, Donnarumma was the motm for me, some great saves and ensured we got the 3 points.

Rest of the team were awful

[bigblue]

Anderson good but step back performance wise, think we looked a lot better with O'Reilly & Nunes on the field

Apart from when he nearly scored an own goal...3 quarters over the line that ball was!

It is fucking criminal thay dias is playing

Indeed Carl, but Khus made a mistake that even most Amateurs never make in passing the ball between the sticks. BTW that happened again twice in the second half from other players

[CBEM]

That was hard work today 60 thousand baying fans and the team were as meek as you like, saying that it's 3 wins out of 3 and good sides get results when they aren't playing that well.

[john@staustell]

Newly promoted teams can sometimes 'disturb the force'. They don't play the way Premier teams do and they are used to different things. Plus in the first few games they are still awash with enthusiasm and energy.

Hopefully we'll fing it easier in Portugal and at the Old Toilet

I thought he had a decent game today.

[Outcast]

New players hardly had to time to train together. Not surprised we're not fluid yet. In time we should start to click.

Thought Anderson was very good , Guehi was good, Enzo looked good and will get better. Cherki good but can be more direct. Ndiaye was good in first half, faded a bit in second. Fair play to Coventry, they had a go. One of those days. First game i've been to in a couple of years. Enjoyed being in the Pep stand. On a good day the atmosphere will be fantastic. So much louder

[Mase]

It is fucking criminal thay dias is playing

I genuinely can't understand it

You would think the manager can see what everyone else can see.

[Nick]

Haven't heard the new stand once

Dias - I think enzo even knows hes shit, its purely about a captain and his messages to players. For me if you watch dias yes hes the only one that ever talks but most of the other lads dont look like tbey listen. Guehi must be thinking "well if you got benched and khus was next to be and nunes at rb we would be fine".

He is slow and gets done every time.

[salford city]

Re Dias, heard an interview with Scott Carson who was asked to pick his 5 a side team ar City and Dias was in there as he was a winner and always vocal. I think the vocal is all he is bringing he is not a cb starter for us.
