PL Matchweek 2

[Prntscrn]

lol that guy looked like a midget when he stood next to the wall

Roy Delap's boy on the bench for City. Wonder if he's got the long throw in his locker.

I think he's a striker. He probably was on the end of his dad's throws when he was a growing up.

That was a sloppy tackle to give up a penalty.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Cool finish by the best in the league.

 

[Burner Account]

Pretty shit foul

 

[S E P H]

What the blimey f*** was Saiss doing on that challenge? That ball and City player were in no threat to score and he just goes into IDGAF mode.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It’s kind of a joke Mahrez doesn’t start.

 

[Evilo]

Cool finish by the best in the league.

Henderson took that pen?

 

[Blender]

It’s kind of a joke Mahrez doesn’t start.

He's their 2nd or 3rd best player, but gets treated like a rotation option.

 

[c9777666]

Wait, the premier league is already back?

That was a short break from 2019-20 to 2020-21

 

[phisherman]

It’s kind of a joke Mahrez doesn’t start.

Didn't he have covid? Maybe he didn't get enough training.

Foden is good.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Henderson took that pen?

Lol

 

[Burner Account]

I see which City we're getting today.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Foden is so class... shame hes english.

 

[Savant]

Wolverhampton tactics are all wrong. Do not resemble the team that did you he double on City last season. Guess they miss Diogo Jota (probably)

they Are playing way too much on their back foot, aren’t challenging City at all. No aggression.

Having Traore play as a RWB might have something to do with that as well. Too far back to counter.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It’s ok Semedo is coming

They aren't exploiting the spaces City leaves behind their attackers like they did last year. Need to stretch the pitch more and make those direct passes into that space. Jota definitely helped them exploit that, and Traore is sitting back a lot more.

Yeah that’s definitely part of it. I get that Wolves are short at RWB right now but it’s very insane to play your best player out of position to accommodate that.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I mean you can’t do continuously beat the same team over and over. At some point they will get over the hump. Plus city’s quality it’s a matter of time.

For sure, but Wolves' style is well suited to countering City's style, but they aren't even playing to it today.

 

[Live in the Now]

Cool finish by the best in the league.

Salah isn't playing today

 

[Blender]

You can see the difference here with Traore playing wingback instead of as a winger, he just doesn't have the space to power behind the last defender and make a cross from.

 

[Blender]

Better from Wolves, Traore found Podence all alone there.

 

[koyvoo]

Wolves having a strong stretch of play now
