A) This formation is absolute crap, and why we persist with it is baffling to me.

B) The blessing is that we're only one goal down - there will be space in the second half for one or two more attacks, as they tire. But we need to ditch this piece of brick formation ASAP.

What do you think the formation is?
 
Mate your doing that thing again where you get fixated on one thing and keep repeating it.

We have issues in midfield and defence today.

Tripper last season was targeted by teams because of his lack of pace and concentration lapses. It is why he was sold.

WP might not be the answer for a team who wants to win the title I don't think he is. But he is the best we got right now, playing what could be the best time in Europe.

I like you as a poster but you sound obsessed with him.
You were the same with trippier last season if I recall.
 
Sanchez isn’t left sided... neither is Toby

Stands out against top sides

Maybe a lefty would have cut out that pass to aguero. But regardless of his main foot, Sanchez needs to do better. He wasn't marking a man or cutting out the pass. But out wide we shouldn't have let DeB get free either when we have 3 men against their 2 attacking. So as a side we need to step up our defending. Just a little lax at times.
 
Sanchez isn't there yet. He needs to play games, but he's not at a level to defend against City. As a team we're not hard enough to beat. Eriksen lets DeBreynna drop off for the cross. Sanchez not alive to the pass or the man for the second. Rose knows DeB is going over lap but the other players are not alive to it. It is hard to defend against their confident movement. But we didn't too well.

The other issue is we can rarely work the ball past their press so most of the game is played in our half. When we do beat the press there is space to play.

Only one down though (could have been more).
Indeed Sanchez needs to improve but. I have felt for sometime we have overrated Toby. I was really hoping someone was going to pay the release clause so we could start planning for life after him and Verts given their ages.
 
Lucky to be only 2-1, I think Poch has to go back to 4231 as Sissoko is marginalised as a player out wide or in the final third. Moura on for one of the midfielders but this game needs everyone to step up for us to have any chance
 
I'm not able to watch today (overseas and cant find a stream) but doesnt sound like Poch has learned from last week. Our midfield balance didnt work then and sounds like its not working this week either. We have options this week though with Eriksen available from the start so could have played Moura instead of say Sissoko and gone 4-2-3-1. Hopefully with Son back next week he'll be forced to go back to our best formation

I'm still not sure what formation it is. I thought it was 4-2-3-1 but with players in the wrong position initially. I don't think it can be 4-3-3 because Lamela has been playing in behind and Erisken isn't far enough forward either.
But it is crap, whatever it is.

Watch Toby and him swap second half
It always happens... it’s like they toss a coin to see who starts left
 
HT1-2 Poch sitting there doing sweet fa. We look really tired leggy and confused. No cohesion in attack or defence. Really really disappointing display and could - and - should have been a lot worse. Kane completely anonymous. We had one attack in 45 mins. Totally shocking.
We clearly can't handle them but they can't handle pace. We miss Son and Moura massively. Hoping Moura comes on and lo celso too for Eriksen and winks. We don't need 3 cms in there IMO.

It’s that bad nobody can tell
 
We are SERIOUSLY flattered by that score line. We have been terrible all over the pitch. The tactics look wrong - again.

Yeah but they will do this to every single team that goes there, just stay in the game and hope to knick something at the end, they are on a different level to everyone, it’s literally cheat mode this fixture is imo the only free shot we get all season.
