Re: Frank Lampard Is Lamps currently the oldest outfield player in the Premier League ?......Really seems to be enjoying his spell "up north". And we're reaping the benefit.

Why would you not follow them ? OK they're not City. But they're part of the 'City' brand. They're more connected than say a feeder club. So yeh I'll follow them. If not with quite the same passion. :-)

For what we paid Atletico, is there a better signing in the league this season. Can't think of one. After a difficult start, mainly because of late signing, adjusting to a new league. And picking up an injury in his first training session. Demichelis has been a revelation recently. Automatic...

Re: Micah Richards Slightly negative attitude mate. For me tomorrow will be won in mid field. And when we see just how fit Kun is. If Yaya, Silva etc boss it, then hopefully Liverpool aren't going to see to much of the ball in areas that will hurt us. If that's not the case, and Liverpool do...

Re: Micah Richards Taking alot of flak on here Micah. And frankly it's a disgrace. He's a pro at our club, who almost certainly will move on in the summer But until then I'd expect him to be comitted. That's what good pro's do. What sort of training is taken is obviously down to Pellers. If it...

Re: Martin Demichelis He's a quality footballer,always has been. Though you wouldn't have thought so on here a while back. Pace is not the only tool in the box. Though in this country it's sometimes used to cover difficiences.

But just to play devils advocate. Who would take a defeat tonight, with a guarantee we'd go on and win the league. Or would you rather win tonight,and take our chances.

Totally agree about the title season. Now under Pellegrini, and his insistence that the full backs get forward at every oportunity, he just doesn't look the part. Kolarov always has been a better player. Brings far more to the table. And this season is showing his true colours. You're not on...

Get Luke Shaw here in the summer. No if's no butt's. Clichy's time has come. A pale shadow of the title winning season. Albeit a totally diferent system now that he's just not made for. Demichellis overcommitting, and Clichy ball watching cost us the game today. Sure most of the other starters...

As the guy said himself the other day he's playing regularly now, and it makes all the difference. Under Bobby he was in and out, and you can't maintain a level like that. Pellegrini's system is tailor made for Aleks, in a way it never will be for Clichy. With the exception of Kun, that was...

I do sometimes wonder what people expect Garcia to do. He's a defensive mid field player. Who's role is to put out fires, protect the back four. Pass completion rate is second to none. Strong in the air. He's not a creative player. That's not his job. And for me when Pellers calls on him...

You don't play for Bayern as long as he did,if your crap. Don't forget he signed for Athletico in the summer. And they're as good as it gets in Spain at the moment. He's a top top player. Immense in the air today. Lacks a bit of pace. But makes up for that in so many ways. Easily part of our...

Re: Fernandinho Definately overplayed. May have played more minutes than anyone. And it's beginning to show. The guys a class act. But he's only human. And definately needs a rest.

I think you must mate, Javi was solid today when he came on. Both our DM's were below par today. It's very easy to look at players and have an opinion before they've played. Sure Garcia's never going to be a starter.But he does what's asked of him. And obviously Pellegrini trusts him. Should we...

In the Nicola McCarthy interview post game Aleks said with not getting regular starts last season, he didn't have a chance to show his capabilities. That's obviously true. But it's also true that Mancini's system was far more suited to Clichy. Allowing teams to come on to you and defending deep...

We have had a few decent wingers down the years, but it's got to be Summerbee for me. Saw his debut at Ayresome Park. Wonderful to watch. And hard as nails. Never backed down from anyone.

For what we paid, and what we'll obviously be paying him, a good signing. I don't have any concerns when he plays. Yes he lacks pace ( the English obsession), but he reads the game well. Excellent in the air for someone who's not particulary tall. And on Sunday completed all his passes. Fairly...

Not the tablet. Just me. ;-)

Pantillimon 100% And unless he has a howler, Pants will get the shirt at Sunderland at weekend. We're talking pro sport here at the highest level. And sentiment or emotion doesn't come into it. Joe Hart doesn't have a devine right to be the starting keeper. And the England situation is nothing...
