Most places tend to stick with sky 4 matches, especially if it's a multi match, but we are getting alot of coverage this term. The only way right now that I could say you're absolutely guaranteed to catch the games is to meet up with someone and watch it at their place. I'd love to offer you...

I'll cut a fairly long story short. Christmas time each year normally comes with me receiving something to do with city, but over this year and the last something seems to have gone horribly wrong. Last year my gf bought me a whole load of stuff through the OS, but at the time of purchase a few...

Definitely looked like there was a lot more communication going on tonight, albeit more in the second half. I found Bellamy covering Bridge a fair bit in the first. Micah played well, wee bit shabby going up but defended very well imo, and I've been trying to say this about him for a while now...

seconded. hahaha

oh wow, i haven't laughed that much in so long hehe would definitely take it though... :p

VK is too much of a quiet character to lead the team me thinks. To be fair to Kolo though, I see him week in and out trying to command that back four, but the problem lies within these reasons I think: 1. Bad coaching 2. Bad communication between them 3. He's trying to lead a bunch of guys he...

All of the big name right backs are listed for their ability pushing forward. For all of you who suggest Dani Alves, do any of you actually watch Barcelona play at all? He's part and parcel of what gives them so much going forward, and alot of the time he's caught well out of position if the...

100% correct and there is one major reason why it won't change. anyone fancy a guess?

anyone else think he's put on a wee bit of weight? maybe he's been living with jonno :P

2 wins, 1 draw (I'll take the Villa draw) and 4 losses would still give us 7 points. The fact of the matter here is: Hughes seems to be protecting his attractive pay slip rather than managing the team. Given our current situation, the "positives" will remain, and in the end, Mark Hughes will...

For the last few weeks, it's been all about "Hughes not having the balls to drop Tevez". He did, now Tevez is the new hero and "Hughes doesn't have the balls to drop Barry". 4-4-2 seemed to be the only thing everyone agreed on being shite, but now 4-4-2 is good with Ireland and De Jong in...

Barry does need a rest, but Hughes needs to decide between Tevez and SWP not De Jong and Barry. When we got Barry, he was meant to be the link between our DM and AM. Hughes is playing him as a second DM whilst his instinct is telling him to be the link between everything. Add that to the amount...

I posted this yesterday in another thread. I'm not even Hughes out, but am I free to criticize based on your authority? :P

Very true, however, I think if we want to be a top four side we need to be a commanding team, rather than a submissive one. I can understand away from home, but it doesn't take a genius to spot how well we played once we got into gear.

Agreed 100% SWP's assist was brilliant today though, it's just a shame we don't see things like that too often anymore.

agree with everything bar your first point. to me it's more a case of us soaking up too much pressure and defending badly before we switch on. or in other words, we're the ones that aren't up for it, until we go behind.

this is exactly why everything points to playing 4-3-3 (4-1-2-3 if you want to be technical) imo, having barry and ireland playing ahead of de jong, giving both of them freedom to push on, barry a little less so he can cover for stevie after a long run or pick up a rebound.

de jong was immense today and has been for most games this season, his passing may be woeful at times but other than that he does his job very well. the full backs are clearly the problem and what needs replacing. for me though, it doesn't need to be big name replacements, anyone who can defend...

adding to that, is it just me? or for all hughes' want of a 'target man' does ade seem to drop off to pick up a missed header 7 times out 10, offering us absolutely nothing in regards to holding up the ball after being hoofed? don't get me wrong i love the guy, but even tevez held the ball...

disappointed but content in knowing we still took 2 points away from their top 4 chances. hopefully we're back to full form, with some decent new defenders come 20th Feb and we give them a spanking at home
