Lukaku & Werner are donkeys and leaving it until the 77th minute to bring on Mount was idiotic from Tuchel. No balls in behind, no pace to anything. Pathetic attempt, even Arsenal put on a better show. City are quickly becoming the most detestable side for me, even more than Utd & Everton atm (helps that both of them are shite). Not only do they have complete rats like Silva, Foden & Rodri playing for them, they just get the rub of the green in every single game.

Cicero 5,265 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I’ll get stick for saying this but i really, really dislike this team when Lukaku is playing. There is such a disconnect from midfield to attack that restricts any attacking fluidity. Having a stagnated focal point vs a dynamic player makes it so predictable to defend against. Awful from Tuchel. Yet again. This negativity was a carbon copy of Conte’s 2nd season with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMadLad 2,080 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I said at the start of the season.. you just can't compete with a club that eclipses everyone else financially, who also buy themselves out of the rules to prevent it. In my eyes whoever finishes 2nd wins the league because City just can't be counted anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting the feeling he will not shoot unless he only has the keeper to beat. Noticing if just one defender in front of him he looks to pass. Why Havertz was not brought on about 70 min amazes me.

What amazes me is Tuchel continuing to abandon a winning formula that has beaten & rattled City three times on the bounce in-favor of playing a striker who can’t press or control a ball.

LFCMike 3,009 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Thank god for Liverpool in 19/20 eh? The only thing stopping the PL having the same criticisms leveled at it that the likes of Italy, Germany and France have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,265 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Tuchel on Lukaku. "He had many ball losses w/o any pressure, many ball losses in very promising circumstances. He had a huge chance. We want to serve him, but he is part of the team, and the performance up front, particularly in the first half, we can do much, much better." #CFC So why play him!!!??? He’s done this his entire career?? Fuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machado 1,710 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 In 10 seasons City are always going to win more leagues than Klopp due to the later's style of football being more volatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,200 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I know City and Pep have had more to spend than anyone, but considering that Chelsea, United and Liverpool haven’t spent far off of what he has over the past 5 or so years…you have to commend Guardiola’s ability to create a team that just dominates the pitch from one end to another. Some real tactical innovations with his use of the false 9, 2 false 9s and not even playing with a striker at all. A true Premier League great and take my word for it the day he leaves City the unlimited funds will remain but the dominance won’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 2,200 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 1 minute ago, Bluewolf said: Similar to how United's fortunes turned when Fergie left.... Definitely is similar in terms of quality of manager. I think pundits give Guardiola the praise he deserves but I sometimes think fans get warped too much into how much is spent and take for granted the quality that Pep brings to the Premier League by just associating it with City being big spenders. Guardiola has hands down been the best manager in world football ever since he took over Barce's first team. The man achieved the same amount of major silverware as Mourinho in half the time, a genuinely phenomenal coach and innovator of the game. The day he leaves City there will be a gigantic void to fill that will become extremely noticeable and I think rival fans who maybe don't give him the deserved praise now will do when they see what City will turn into when he leaves.
