Ake - Demonstrating that he is not a great defender
Mendy - A dreadful defender that is slow and also cannot cross a ball!
Cancelo - Good going forward, but a complete liability as a left back!
Sterling - Passenger and each week convinves me he wants out!

What about the negatives?

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

Good scenes with Carson at the end.

Great sign of the team spirit. You’d think Eddie might be after golden gloves.

 

[hgblue]

We should play the chuckle brothers at centre back in every game we don’t need to win. Cracking entertainment.

Any positives?

Torres staking his claim.
Sterling not.

Did he not assist the winner ?

Akes fine.
Mendy is broken.
Cancelo shouldnt play the final
Sterling is lost.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Enjoyed that.

Feel for people who couldn't enjoy that game for what it was.
Thought it was great fun myself.

Yep. Great fun if you don’t give a fuck about the result and not arsed about us winning or losing. Carson in net was a touch I suppose but other than that we should’ve gone stronger.

You have to deserve your place in this team and I don’t see how Sterling deserves to play when we don’t necessarily need to rotate

 

[west didsblue]

That was entertaining. Loads of goals and zero stress. Great performance from Torres. Poor from both CBs. Dias, Stones and the new Spaniard (El Porte) don’t have to worry about losing their places in the bigger games.

We've just won the league and we've just won that game and you come on here bitching about every fucker

 

[NantwichBlue]

Great result and entertaining considering it was a dead rubber of a game. 3 great goals by Torres!

on a side note, I thought Sterling stank the place out tonight. I think his bags are already packed tbh

 

[hobbsisablue]

Managed to get a ticket for the Everton game in the ballot. Absolutely chuffed. Fookin hope Ake isn’t playing!

 

[applecentral]

Sterling just confirms why he will not start in the CL final and has fallen down the first subs list.

Fallen off a cliff more like. I watched him closely tonight and his form is abysmal. Maybe he needs a long rest this summer. Or maybe he needs a new challenge?.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Any positives?

Ake much better overall in the 2nd half.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Pep - The entertainer

Or he has shares in a company making blood pressure tablets.

 

[willipp]

Torres maybe showed his true position tonight. Natural instinct in front of goal and just looks like a centre forward.

Really entertaining game and enjoyed it.

He's Torres at Chelsea but I hope im wrong.

 

[scousemanc]

At 3-4 I actually didn't want City to score another. My dad took me in 1968. Happy days!

Also Torres is a goalscorer. It's something you can coach to an extent, but there is another level beyond coaching. Torres is that. Sterling is a coached goalscorer. Sorry Raheem, it's the way I see it.

 

[mcfc-a-ok]

First game in a long time where I watched with no stress and just enjoying the game , I know it's because to us it's nothing but a 'for pride' game , multiple changes a mix or 1st 2nd 3rd and players leaving team but shows no matter who plays we have some bloody team on the field

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Had far too much to drink tonight which is unlike me but.....that game summed up everything that is wrong with English football...we humped them, we played our 2nd team and scored 4 good goals...they played their strongest team and dived around and won 2 pens...it's hard to accept the shit that twats like Knobclifee spout about "pens' like the first one and the even more dubious 2nd one...it's odd how we never seem to get them yet fuck wankers like the great Newcastle, with their fantastic support and history seem to get pens very 2.5 minutes?
Great win....Torres superb...
