I never imagined such a thing can be possible in the Premier league. The league was stronger at the top back then IMO. We displaced the Arsenal invinclibles and SAF had great team too. Maybe over the course of the season this City team would collect more points but in a single game or a two-legged fixture, I would trust a prime Mourinho with a prime Lampard, flanked by Robben and Drogba up front to grind out a result vs them. Pep has shown that his teams are vulnerable to elite class counter attacking teams, albeit they are a juggernaut vs teams who give them space or just cant defend like us today.

That is joke of the year. A close second is Sarris team selection. He has single handedly frozen Odoi out. Defensive phase? We just shipped 4 goals against a direct rival within 35 mins you clown. Don't think anyone would want him back, just saying that he may fancy it. He has an image in need of desperate rehabilitation. He'd look like a savior if he came back and won us the EL.

So why have we gone and tried to play them in an open game, especially when we have been in poor form of late?! I am asking myself the same. Esp after Sarri beat Pep at the Bridge with a fairly defensive tactic why is going all out to play at the Etihad? Sure the early goal killed our gameplan anyway but we looked fairly proactive in the first 2 mins anyway. Liverpool in the CL created the perfect blueprint how beat them as we did in our 2nd half performance. We might still have lost but not by that margin.

Should have been more defensive. City simply blitzed us and forget Alonso . Azpi, Luis and Ruddiger lose all their battle that was the problem.

Strike 7,489 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The fans have been screaming for Hudson Odoi and RLC and Emerson. Maybe we wouldn't have been winning with these three but good chance there would be more phases of play in the City box and would create actual trouble at the back for City. Sigh. I just hope this season can be salvaged now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no chance, mate. The Invincibles were on their last legs and that United team was average by United standards. The league is much much stronger now.

MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 3 big goals came from individual errors. I seem poor quality vs a poor system more than anything. That said, starting Alonso and Barkley on the same side, let alone starting either one of them, is down to Sarri. First goal killed us mentally. And we already dealing with a mentally weak group.

Stats 7,142 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The gameplan for Sarri second half should be get 5 players sent off and forfeit the game at 3-0. Sarri don't have a plan B. Here is a dramatic one. Will help us not fall behind Arsenal on GD too. Vesper, Johnnyeye and Henrique 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,185 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Something has to give soon. Sarri or half the team. I vote BOTH. Hazard is insane if he doesn't leave (if he gives a shit about trophies.) I am at a loss, as the board (in its curreent state) clearly doesn't understand football basics. bigbluewillie, Johnnyeye and Irakozium257 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
