ciggiesnbeer Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Interesting to see Smiths game management second half. See what he learned from our previous games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 You want to see us really going for it after the break, being a man up and a goal down, but this will be easier said than done. They will still keep the ball well, and punish us hard if we leave too much space open (see their first goal, which was almost impossible to stop.) We’ll have to sacrifice something, and hope it pays off, but we can’t be reckless about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Pep even did the kick as part of his argument, what was he saying “all John did was this on the side of his knee after the ball had gone, it’s a disgrace” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Man we have been absolute shit. Needs to change it and get Davis on to bully their fragile back four 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 21, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 21, 2021 I wouldn't change anything for the moment, if Davis comes on it'll need to be for Traore or Ramsey I'd have thought. Going on the way City looked in the first half, they'll beat us 6-2 and finish the game with eight men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I will be stunned if Davis comes on after half time. Its got him coming on with 20 to go just in time for city to get the third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have played some incredible football that not many could live with and we are a mid table team just trying to keep up. One of the best club teams in the world playing some great stuff, it’s hard to stop. Thankfully they look a little crazy without the ball so we have to try and take advantage of that but that will be hard because it isn’t often they are without the ball Don't disagree but I'm still disappointed with it, we look like we've accepted city are brilliant so we will give them the ball in areas where we think they can't hurt us, we will play narrow and compact We aren't good enough for that Traores tracking, mcginn and Luiz energy and positioning, it just doesn't work, they're breezing past us In order to play like how we've set up you've got to be on to everything, rushing to close down etc tracking every run from deep and that's just not us, its not these players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's saying Ramsey came in with his leg up. Wazzock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were just not really doing anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashingqwerty Posted April 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2021 2 minutes ago, villa4europe said: Disagree with that, mings does jump for the ball he's just nowhere near rodri, no way can emi see that, he's come for the cross based on the flight of the ball not on rodri and Mings He jumps from 10 yards away. He could see Rodri was unmarked a good 15 seconds earlier and left him unmarked. Martinez can see Rodri on him own so rather than leave him unchallenged him moves to challenge him, which 8s what Mings should have done sooner. Our defensive setup is dire though, we never have tall players marking tall players. Beggars belief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
