******** it. I'll take the blame Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Delph; De Bruyne, Fernandinho, David Silva; Sterling, Gabriel Jesus, Sané Manchester City bench: Bravo, Danilo, Gundogan, Aguero, Mangala, Bernardo Silva, Yaya Toure Napoli: Reina; Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Zielinski, Diawara, Hamsik; Callejon, Mertens, Insigne Napoli bench: Sepe, Allan, Jorginho, Maggio, Maksimovic, Rog, Ounas Start praying lads
Yikes. That midfield has been a disaster every time this season. At least put in Rog for Hamsik or Zielinski. I don't really care about the CL this year, but I don't want to see us get blown away.
Someone tell Diawara to pass the ball along the fukn floor and not a jumping shit pass, his pass led to citys chance, where Zielinski as predicted was fukn SHIT
hard to do fuk all with 2 shitdicks in midfield with you - granted zielinski is being played out of position
The thing is Napoli could come back because ManCity isn't particularly good defensively but the final ball has been so shockingly poor that its delivered City two counter goals. Also Albiols passing from the backline has been nothing short of scandalous.
10 napoli players cant play how they normally do because diawara is having a personal meltdown on the pitch, best example is when i see hamisk drop deep to do the job jorginho normally does, maybe this is on sarri. I also dont see what zielinski is bringing that allan doesnt. Sarri said mertens has poor fitness and maybe this is the result of 90 mins against roma,. he shouldve scored the pen though. :-(
which is why i said it might be on sarri, give the kid some protection in the form of rog or allan or better yet let him play the easy games in serie a more
The last 15 minutes were much better. We started like pussies. Too nervous. I don’t want to attack Diawara and Zielinski. They are too young and started getting better. I always defend Hamsik but today I need to single him out. He is supposed to be a leader but has been one of the worst. Hysaj has been horrible again against a fast defender. We really need a right back because he is slow and adds little in attack. Rog should have started.
The same old usual when we come up against a big team. Hamsik nowhere to be seen (unless he's assisting the other team), diawara and zielinski just not knowing how to control play, hysaj with predictable underhit crossing, albiol out of his depth, and mertens having the worst day of his life. This is just damage limitation now
But in this game we had to rest Jorginho and Allan. This is better the Roma and Inter games. The problem is playing Hamsik and Ziellinski and exposing him. Rog should have started.
