Title: @ Bournemouth
Post by: gavin on February 25, 2023, 16:50:30
XI | Ederson, Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Rodrigo, Gundogan (C), Foden, Grealish, Alvarez, Haaland

SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Carson, Walker, Phillips, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Gomez, Mahrez, Perrone

A bit of a shuffle after the Wednesday match. Good to see Phil and Julian start up front.

Looks like a relaxing second half at long last. Phil is having a very lively game and Gundo is very effective with Rico playing mostly in midfield,

Lots of subs and loss of rhythm Second half after the 4th goal.

Wouldn't back City for a clean sheet these days, and so it proved.

Need to tighten defence, the way they walked through our midfield then defence was alarming to witness.

We needed to rotate people and that inevitably affects the rhythm. Especially the way we shift people around positions too. But overall a much needed performance and result.

VAR is laughable. Mahrez was clearly tripped in the box. Penalty. They should be sacked on the spot.

When one particular team keep getting let down by VAR you have to think it's no coincidence.

All football is let down by VAR.

We are all held accountable for cock ups in the workplace.

These clowns should be made to explain their decisions

We've certainly had a run of it. The ? pen vs Brentford is the one that haunts me.

Really good to see Foden back and scoring. Was he predominantly coming in off the left?

He was on the right. Grealish on the left. Grealish was comparatively quiet. Most of our play went down the right.
