Agree. Maybe Balo for Dzeko.

Bigga, -we were too attacking, but the only player wrong was barry. -Mancini caves under pressure -you criticise players not manager nor system -taking out a playmaker and putting in a tall strong striker is a good tactic against a tall but slow defense. This is what I get from reading your...

Though I agree with the setup of the central midfield being one of our main problems, I do believe De Jong and Barry could be played together against stronger opposition - just not with Yaya infront of them.

Thread should have ended here. Maybe with the addition that we actually went to something that resembled what you might call a 4231 sometime in the second half with Balo on the left and Silva on the right.

Kompany.

Agree with most of these points. Still would like to know how you would set up our team against Liverpool?

Clearly a 2-2-2-1-3. This is more or less how a 442 look when you play a left winger with a free role offensively. Compare Balotellis, Johnsons and Silvas defensive duties in the first half - 442. Numbers doesnt really matter that much though and your assessment of how having another attacking...

My favourite centreback this season along with Thiago Silva.

This. Still think the balance and work distribution in central midfield needs some more tweaking though. And no more Yaya at AM, please.

Re: Boyata He should either slowly be getting more and more chances in the first team or be loaned out next season.

Ok. Who has the highest pass completion?

Look I'm just going to tell myself something gets lost in the translation both ways and step away. I did enjoy the condescending smiley though.

Are you saying that when comparing players from the same team, stats are usually not wrong about who is the better passer? If so, Zanetti is a better passer than Sneijder?

Squad player. He definitely has the ambition and drive to step up to the next level and we should atleast give him a chance.

Why make this a discussion about Dzeko? The main question is whether Yaya is being used in the right position or if he could be more useful playing somewhere else. Also, from your post I take it you believe Milner isnt playing in his ideal posirion either?

If he gets us CL - IN.

Is that an insult? Can't tell. Anyway, I actually really liked Mancini at Inter even though it might seem otherwise. Under his guidance we were always well organised and hard to break down. I was pleased to see him appointed at City and I genuinely thought that he would get the team to the...

Neither. I'm from Sweden.

I am well aware of Mancinis lack of power but it is not like he didn't have any say in what type of players he wanted for the squad. Atleast not during his first seasons in charge. And why does he seem to do the same mistakes again at city? Let's blame Marwood.
