    Kitching - Tried dribbling the ball out and got caught in possession, lucky not to concede.
    Odour - Caught on the ball just outisde our 18 yard box, lucky not to concede.
    Collins - Passes the ball straight to one of City's players, again lucky not to concede.
    Helik - Gives away a penalty, decent save from Collins.

    That's just four examples but there were others. If this is how we're going to set up then teams will press us high and wait for the mistakes. We've changed completely to how Val set us up, I'd rather we cleared our lines and played it on the deck in the opposition's half.

    And we've stopped giving the ball away by lumping it foreward we just pass it straight to them in our own half now :D

    Moon has lost his man twice for goals, too. Him and Oduor haven't helped themselves today, to be fair.

    It's the quality of the build up that's putting them in that position.
    Mahrez and Cancelo are running this game.

    2 goals where our back line jogged back rather than breaking into a gallop. Completely lost the defensive shape and ended up leaving players unmarked.

    Schopp was having a good chinwag with Pep before the match, hope he has agreed to take a couple of these on loan.

    People are expectin
    Collins will cost us goals no doubt about it, his kicking/passing is atrocious.

    Should have had a few more friendlies before now, we probably look class on the training ground. It should have been the strongest team starting the match.

    Moon would have been sent off at 0-0 in a league game.

    Mines Portuguese and people tell me it’s similar to Spanish and imo no way is it similar , it sounds more Eastern European with a hint of French than Spanish imo .
    I don’t speak any of them by the way but I know what they’d sound like .

    Judging from the comments on here, Schopp might be trying to change too much too soon. And if he is going to change the style, he’ll need to change formation to get a defensive midfielder or two to give the defenders more options to pass to.

    I think taking this game was a massive og by the club. I just don't see how we possibly benefit from taking a possible if not probable towelling at this stage of pre season doesn't matter that it's Man City giving it, it will effect the squads confidence
