Yes, it would have been him, he goes to most of the away in games in london at least. Shame its not yaya watching tho.

utd have the 'model', chelsea have the players. utds strength is in their ability to adapt to different situations, ie. they can play with a 433-esque system or with more traditional wingers out on the flanks. chelsea mainly play through the middle and whilst having seriously good players, they...

I'm definitely not his biggest fan, but I thought last night he was very good for 75 mins. Unfortunately though, I still maintain that we are better without him in the team. Look at tottenham, in the last few weeks they have beaten us, chels and arsenal and lost to utd. Palacios didn't play...

Bellamy has been brilliant all season, up until the las 6/7 games where he's not looked the part, why, I don't know. Sporting gesture though? I don't buy it, he was not so sporting when that united fan came on the pitch at ot. To shake someones hand is one thing, to grin and laugh is another, I...

kenzie 115; ''He has a high tackle percentage because he only tackles when he's confident he can get the ball, not a bad thing but the likes of de Jong will try and get the ball in more 50/50s and as the name suggests, you're not going to win them all.'' Its not just the tackle %, its the...

To see why barry is rated as he is, go onto the telegraphs statistics page, link to it the other week. barry is near the top on every stat, successfull passes, chances created, tackles won etc. This is in sharp contrast to our other midfielder ndj, who is only near the top on one stat, tackles...

I've said it before and I will say it again, de jong is the most overrated player in the club. At the beginning of the season, first three games, he didnt play apart from 10mins against pompey i think, we kept three clean sheets. Since he has come in we haven't kept one until yesterday, and that...

I understand that we cant all out attack in every single game, im not naive enough to believe otherwise, i dont think u can look to other teams results there, utd put 5 past them in about half an hour.i just think that people are kidding themselves(maybe i am) with the role of de jong. Yes we...

I have said it before and will say it again, I think de jong has to be the most overrated player(based on the comments on this thread) by a mile. forgetting about his attributes which we know, yes he tackles and yes hes not great on the ball, we never keep a clean sheet when hes on the pitch...

I know this will probably annoy a lot of people and I will get told I'm a fuckwit, but anyway, I think De Jong and the job he does for the team is massively overrated. Yeah he puts in the odd great tackle/interception, having said that ireland did that just as much when he came on. The problem...

richards, as said earlier zabaleta is too slow and small, doesnt win enough in the air, also before the wigan game when he moved into midfield, he wsa on the verge of being dropped from the team as it was clear he couldn't cut it at rb. good squad player to bring on to fight in the middle of the...

can i ask about the attack on the youth coaches and youth system. maybe i am missing out on something or being naive, but if you look at city's team now, it contains onuoha, richards, ireland, swp, johnson(if fit), sturridge on bench (if fit). i dont see anything like that anywhere else, the...

i like the whole idea of stability etc etc, but i dont feel hughes is that man. however, i will try and look at hughes positives, feel free to add more: 1, home games- we have won the majority of home games, of which most we have comfortably deserved to win( not inc. last 2). this is in contrast...

Out, as far as I'm concerned. look at his signings, some v good but others not as great as everyone makes out; tal ben haim-... zabaleta, average midfielder, shit rb, bought as a rb swp, obvious signing for a city manager with money jo and robinho, not his signings, not much he could do with jo...

I'm a new member, but have been reading the forum for quite a while now. Prestwich blue I think it was said that Onuoha would have disappeared under pearce, whereas under hughes, he is starting to flourish. Is this the same onuoha that was very close to being sold in january? maybe i'm being...
