We like to play, but there have been so many suicidal mistakes in and around our own box. Walsh, Pack & Hörður was the unlucky one who got punished. We’ve got to have some respect for who we’re playing. One touch in our own box probably isn’t the best idea this evening! Makes you wonder whether, even subconsciously, the praise they got from playing great football in the 1st leg has got them believing that they have to do that for the whole game and not just lump it.

I understand trying to play positively, and sometimes we pull it off superbly (playing it out from the back), but when you have the likes of KDB, Aguero, Silva constantly putting pressure on you, surely the need to clear the ball once in a while is there? That's exactly it. Obviously Mags is at fault for that one, but it's not just him, a few of them are guilty of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate this is Man City but IMHO he ain't good enough, far far too weak in all of the instances I have pointed out. Absolutely, just seen the replay he had ample time to clear if for a throw, diabolical defending and as you say 3rd instance of him doing that in different games.

Its a shame we let in tho just before half time as 2nd half could of put fammy on ...but wtf is maggers doing thats pathetic defending ... I say go for it 2nd half who cares of its 2 or 3 or more goals 2nd half most premiership teams lose by that much anyways this season lets make bristol proud! It was a tough one tonight tactically and 2-1 made it very different to if we’d have hung on to 1-1. We simply had to stop them scoring tonight and hope we could use the ball well enough when we had the chance to counter. A stupid error that you’d get lambasted for in a Sunday pub team has completely ruined what was so nearly a perfect half of football. If we’d have gone for broke from the off tonight and xonceees early it could have been 2 or 3 nil by HT. Can’t blame LJ for the game plan tonight IMO.

deadredfred Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hörður isn't the only one to make errors this half but that was shocking. I have no idea what he's trying to do there at all. I've seen it multiple times now and why he's not just banged it for a corner or throw I have no idea. Gifted, not earned. Called it before kick off. It's just a given that he'll have at least one howler per half. It's whether it's costs us or not. Near enough the perfect half from a team that could comfortably line up in the Champions League final. Walsh and Magnússon off, Diedhiou and Baker on please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Scoreline a fair reflection of Man City's possession and pressure in the first half, but it is absolutely gutting to have gifted them the goal. Had we held on till half time then mentally they would be under increasing pressure through not converting pressure to goals and we had started to look like we were finding our feet. Not impossible but a huge mountain with the quality they have on the pitch ( and bench) tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 What annoys me the most about Mags, there was no desire to win that ball back. The lad gives in too easily! He just looks a disinterested kid at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparko Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Man City have been very good not allowing us any time on the ball and forcing mistakes. Tactically it looks like we tried to contain them this half and I guess the second half will be to attempt to attack more in the second half. The changes are bearing that out.

Crisis what Crisis ? Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 A lot of people are calling for the same changes ( Mags and Walsh off /Baker and Diedhiou on ) buts it's centre mid we're being found wanting against a very quick team. Smith needs to slot in there and revert to a back three.......imo of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
