[size=14pt]City Defenders Need Time To Gel[/size]


It was another horrendous mistake when John Stones made a pass to Vincent Kompany who left his place before the pass.

Redmond of Southampton did not make any mistake when he chose to round Bravo and score. It was another error that caused City their chance to win a game after four matches without a win.

With John Stones hand dug deep into his hair, we can guess a million questions ran through his mind. It is frustrating with City gifting goals to the opposing teams but the defence was sharp in the last game.

Apart from the mistake from Kompany, the defence played well and coped with pressing of the Southampton forward players. Most of the misplaced passes came from the midfielders and Guardiola will sort it out.

Vincent Kompany was solid in defence. He made few passing errors but built-up play with some brilliant passes. Otamendi defended well and Stones made some tidy interceptions.

Kompany returned to the team after a long time out due to his reoccurring injuries. John Stones is a new player in the team and he did not know the mobile nature of Kompany's playing style. With time, such errors will not occur and the team will concede less goals.

Just like Kolarov's mistakes against Celtic and Tottenham Hotspur. Those occurred because he has not played under such intense pressure with Guardiola's system. That was the reason he made those mistakes. When he gets familiar with playing under such intensity, the errors will cut.

The English Premier League is a marathon and Guardiola did not expect the team to walk away with the title before December. The team is growing into the system and the second half showed that City can attack with high intensity.

The players are learning to play under the system and the City fans should give them chance to grow.

[size=14pt]That Was An Unfair Way To Lose[/size]


The EFL Cup game against Manchester United started promising after Iheanacho missed an early chance to take the lead. He headed a nice cross wide. It seemed a day City was going to play brilliantly but City were not sharp enough in breaking down the compact defensive set-up of Jose Mourinho.

It later looked as if it was going to become a long night until the referee allowed two fouls against Otamendi and Fernando go unpunished. The result was Mata having a good chance to score and the little Spanish player scored the ball.

Even though City lost, that is not a way City should win. Fouling players and the referees watching is disgusting. That is why City players should listen and work with Guardiola. City does not need to resort to cheating and fouling to win games.

The result seems poor but the team looks better. This was one of our best performances today. City should draw strength from that because as long as the team keeps getting better, City will become a strong force.

The fans should not bother themselves about losing this way because it is a long-term process to get a team that will outplay their opponents.

City can feel sad this night but they will have lots of joyous games in the future. It was a brilliant show. Kompany was good. Made some faulty passes but this is due to his long layoff due to his injuries. Maffeo was one of the most impressive players this night. Definitely he was the target but the young man showed bravery. He worked hard and put an impressive performance against some respected players. He showed stamina throughout the game, running front and back with confidence.

City needs to keep working hard to improve their play and master the system Guardiola is teaching. With time, the good results will come.

I hate shifting blame to referee for a match loss, but mike dean was a real jerk yesterday night...man u made two fouls in the buildup to their goal. And that valencia foul was a red not yellow. Wth? Too high and didn't go for the ball. Mike dean also showed me yesterday dat you can get a yellow for slipping.. Nevertheless pep should work harder in our front line

justicejay:
It was same story.. Played brilliantly but refused to net. Well am not disappointed with the game. Cos man u played against our youth team.
I just don't understand why some people are angry that pep field a youth team in EFL cup which suppose to be meant to develop young players and this same set of people are one crying that city doesn't give youth players chances.
Anyway I was impressed with garica and maffeo. Infant pep can field maffeo against westbrom

TheGoodJoe:


I agree. The team is close to becoming good. The front line needs to move the ball quicker and stay close. I have no doubt that Pep will fix it. Let us wait for the reinforcements of Gabriel and Moreno.

justicejay:

Yea I just can't wait for Gabriel to resume duty. I think pep is gonna play him wide instead of striker or what's your thought.

OBTSubtle:
Great game!


But I'm worried about kun.. He needs to start delivering in big matches..


Wonderful game!


Way to reply haters pep!

justicejay:

Big matches like? He always deliver in big games too, talk of man u, chelsea his favorite, scored some couples of goals again bayern too. I think he gut needs to gell well to pep style.

OBTSubtle:
Like the big guns...

His stats under pep is good enough, what more could you require as regards gell?

Yaya toure orders seluk to apologize to pep.

Though seluk has spoiled our legend legacy but I hope they resolve this. Yaya deserves a
proper send off. It'll be a really sad end to his
great city career if he leaves without playing
again.

TheGoodJoe:


Thanks for the information. I hope Pep Guardiola repays Yaya Toure's loyalty to the Cityzens with some game time. Respect.

justicejay:

Just few hours ago his agent has claimed he has nothing to apologize for.
The man is a fucking asshole
