I picked one of the few games with Mangala and Demi, to show the common theme is not Otamendi, it's a lack of Kompany. Look at the United game, Villa. Kompany Otamendi as the CBs, two clean sheets. I don't rate Otamendi particularly highly, he dives into tackles and any time he is out of...

Oliver torres looks very special, running the game

14 games Mancini has played at Emirates, SoL, Britannia and Goodison in the prem and he has yet to win a single one. Needs to figure out whats wrong and come up with a way to play against those teams. They are tough places to go but that stat is poor.

Re: Nastasić (cont) But if he can get a permit for one eu country, surely it applies to the other? Should be the exact same regulations no? Wondered this with the mariga transfer a while back

Agree, would have loved to see Carrick and Barry with Gerrard playing off the striker. Would make a great midfield three, and we might end a match with more than 40% possession

Always rated sturridge, don't buy in to him being too selfish either, think back to the stoke and blackburn games in the 08/09 (think it was) season, 3 cracking assists to robinho. I think with good movement around him he could be a very useful as the wide forward. Its just whether he fancies...

Kolarov is probably our best crosser of the ball. He's not the best defender, but then Clichy is solid. Thats what makes them a great pair of left backs for the squad, Clichy for when we need to be solid, Kolarov for when we aren't going to have much defending to do and need to break teams down...

But when Guardiola arrived they weren't three of the four best in the world, Messi was 3rd, Xavi and Iniesta not even in the top 30. He also made the decision to move on two of the people that were in the top 30, Ronaldinho and Eto'o, a pretty big decision and one which made Barca what they are...

One switch off at the back aside its been a good away performance so far. Soaked up their pressure and created chances. There is an away goal in this for us, just need to keep our discipline at the back and not panic.

Good result but nothings really changed, our home form was never in question, still need to improve our away form

Going without tickets and hoping to get some in the home end or jib it. Nothing better than a good jibbing. Anyone else giving it a go?

Re: Fulham v CityPost Match Discussion Thread They were all over us before silva went off. Expected zaba to come on but not for Silva, thought Nasri should have come on instead. We weren't good enough off the ball today

Re: Viillareal away Looking for two tickets, living in Spain this year so this might be the only game I get to, any help would be great...

So of the two examples of his "deficiencies" one is from two seasons ago, since when he has improved immeasurably, and the other an incident just after he had taken a knock which forced him to hobble off two years ago with injury. He is one of our most important players, and we struggle when...

Sounds like Wenger

Third goal his backheel frees up the space for Edin to get the ball into Aguero. No two ways about it, he contributes to three goals. And watch that one pass to Richards. Brilliant first touch and perfectly weighted ball. A lot of people seem to have an agenda when it comes to AJ, don't get it

Contributing to three goals in a "no show", impressive stuff

Classic case of a previously underrated player being overrated by those who noticed he was underrated. If that makes any sense.

I think he's a useful player, but getting a bit bored of people going on about him like he's world class and spouting this shit about having to appreciate football to understand what he does. He's good at controlling the pace of the game and has a good passing range. On the other hand he often...
