Jase 43,479 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Every game I have seen City lose this season, and particularly in the Champions League, the opposition have taken the game to them, pressed them hard and didn't allow them time and space on the ball. Three times we've played them this season and each time we have played on the back foot and have almost been afraid of them which is sad to watch.Unfortunately, we are not suited to play at a high tempo and press high up the pitch, despite having the players for it.

Styles 9,790 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Unfortunately, we are not suited to play at a high tempo and press high up the pitch, despite having the players for it.It's strange though because the players have shown they can do it in spurts, especially when we're losing in a game or pushing for a win. For example the 2-2 draw at Old Trafford the players pressed and fought tooth and nail to claw their way back. Even the 3-2 defeat at the Bridge to Utd before the sending offs the players fought back from 2-0 and were all over them, we played some of our best football in that game. But against City they players just seem to be too cautious and give them way too much respect. Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Fsw will set us out the Exact same way he did the last time we played Citeh so its gonna come down to the players getting themselves up for this match,which shouldnt really be difficult.

Liquidator 5,176 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 would just like to take this opportunity to congratulate Liverpool, who battled bravely through 120 minutes to defeat the mighty Notts County. Always a difficult game, especially if you decide to put your multi-million pound squad out at home to a side 2 divisions below yourselves. Well done Liverpool.

I seen the score on my phone and although they won, 120 minutes against Notts County? Jesus. Adam Coombes also scored for Notts (ex-Chelsea youth).
