Toon vs Man City

[Ragatino]

Completed passes so far 188 for city 18 for us

Wow that, in a nut shell explains exactly where the two clubs are right now.

And to think at the start of the Prem years City were not even in the same conversation as us.

They'll go up a gear or two in the 2nd half and should put us away with ease at this rate

I'll be surprised if we're not already put away by halftime

Well Bruise seems to be a very lucky manager. He certainly can't be accused of being a good manager, that's for sure!

Not even watching again
Will wait till next season

Embarrassing this.

Not expecting to match City-or anywhere near that-but when we do have the ball we are absolutely fucking hopeless.

[Zippity]

The Saint....lost possession the last 4 times he's had it.

Totally isolated, only one going forward. One man army in a club of sheep

[Zippity]

Now that was fucking stupid. Like they need any help to beat us.

I thought it was Schar?

MC pass accuracy 92% = Zero pressure on the ball.

Only time I've seen them struggle is with teams who hunt them and press.

It doesn't mean a 'high press' a la Liverpool but just press.

Obvs tactics are stand off and park the bus; crowd the box!

In other words, lay down and get boned. Just eat the inevitable defeat.

It's a one shot deal, have a go, taking a drubbing is no embarrassment from this mob but to not have a go is way worse.

Woeful cowardice.
