Brilliant from Foster.

We've had more chances than City have.

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:30 pm

Rodri definitely going to know he’s been in a game by Amdouni by the end of this game. Like a terrier.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:31 pm

Great stuff, Foster!
Unlucky.

Greekclaret · Post by **Greekclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:31 pm

Amdouni looks very good. Foster lively. Just a shame we’re playing City in the opener rather than a mid level team.

Foster looks really really good.

Less Pony more Thoroughbred

We are top !

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:32 pm

We really are playing some good footy here.

Fantastic stuff lads.

Don’t care about this result. We’re looking really good!

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:37 pm

We changed our press and started holding our shape more and then they score again.

He's just makes it look so easy

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:37 pm

Shame

Casper2 · Post by **Casper2** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:37 pm

Maybe someone mark Haaland

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:37 pm

Oh well.

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:37 pm

Haaland is just ridiculous

Doesn't matter what you do. He's unstoppable

Great response
Corner lads

Foster got to be doing better with chances like that.

Casper2 · Post by **Casper2** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:40 pm

Not a free kick

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:40 pm

Shame cos we’ve played really well. Can’t switch off against City though.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:40 pm

That was never a foul FFS

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:42 pm

We've played really well. City can play at 50% and beat most of the league. If we play like this more often than not, we'll be more than fine.

daveisaclaret · Post by **daveisaclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:42 pm

It'd be a pretty even game if it wasn't for the big bugger they've got. We're great.

Fires off quick, looked to be on target, blocked by a diving city defender…

He’s not Haaland

bf2k · Post by **bf2k** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:43 pm

Having Haaland is like having a cheat mode.

Carlos the Great · Post by **Carlos the Great** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:44 pm

I be happy if we score .. we can play well but we need show we can find the net

I'm not entirely against checking he's not a robot from the future. He doesn't miss.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:45 pm

How come City always have a forward that can't stop scoring against us.

aclaretinstevenage · Post by **aclaretinstevenage** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:45 pm

Brownhill for Berge at half time. Berge can't get into the game.

Benny is going to have to get two screamers instead of the one.

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:47 pm

Would swap the wide men at half time, give benny and Zaroury a go.

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:50 pm

Caught out twice, punished twice! This is why City are the best team in the world right now. I think we have done well to be fair.

dermotdermot · Post by **dermotdermot** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:51 pm

Sander Berge looks a bit wooden. Is he any good?

Clive 1960 · Post by **Clive 1960** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:51 pm

Pity our defending as let us down as we have done ok .

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:52 pm

Never mind, folks.
We've only got to play them for another 135 league minutes this season.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:52 pm

Can’t grumble at the performance so far tonight - very much work in progress and some really promising displays - always a free hit this one and a good run out for the team.

GodIsADeeJay81 · Post by **GodIsADeeJay81** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:53 pm

We don’t actually look that bad considering the score

Genuinely don’t think we can judge anyone too harshly against this lot!

He’s been with us a few days and he’s playing against one of the best teams there is! Give the lad a bloody chance!!

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:54 pm

Playing really well but for 2 split second moments. That's why they're Champions League winners.

We'll beat a lot of other teams this year with this level of performance

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:54 pm

Harland is world class
They have only had two chances two great goals

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:54 pm

Not disappointed with that. The scoreline doesn't reflect the game. We have created a good few chances and the difference has been Haaland. Very promising.

SalisburyClaret · Post by **SalisburyClaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:55 pm

Obviously Berge isn’t up to speed yet. Get Brownhill on

I know you’re not new to this place, of course they can judge them harshly

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:55 pm

Thought we played pretty well against the best team in world football. Such a sloppy first goal to give away and then the second is just the worlds best striker. Zeki, Foster and Koleosho have linked up pretty well to say it’s their first time together.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 8:56 pm

Same as last season in that we will be fine when all these players get used to playing competitively with each other. We will create more chances against the lesser teams but we have to take them.
