City v Arsenal post match discussion

[chesterbells]

I've never said he was. WTF are you on about?

"In a months time I expect him to be running the show in the Prem" etc.

I'd just come from the Garcia thread mate and saw you post this about him. Made me think you thought he would be a good player for us, improvement on last season etc.

Yes and I stand by that. I think given a few games he'll be able to control most midfields with Yaya.

You were implying that I said he was 'the answer', which is a strange thing to say.

The answer to what? Is it even possible for one player to be 'the answer'?

I'd argue not.

The early bit of your post made out he was the answer to replacing de Jong in midfield, which I don't agree with, especially after today where he was poor IMO. Whereas de Jong would close players down with aggressive intent and pace over short yards, I just don't see that with Garcia. So I meant the answer to replacing Nigel and the answer to improving our midfield. Apologies for not making this clear on my initial post. I was gutted about the result, and had happened to only just read your post a minute before in praise of Garcia, when I'd just seen him, in my view, make us look weaker in midfield than last year.

positives-we didn't lose.
Gervinho was inspirational as our MOTM.
Arsene Wenger and his board are complete idiots so sold Fabregas, Nasri, Van Persie and the Arsenal fans villified Arshavin who wasn't anywhere near as bad as Gervinho and Wenger is clueless for not picking the Ox or Walcott.

that's it really, utter rubbish for the most part.

does anybody else feel different about how they feel watching us?
something just isn't quite right,we're stuttering,not playing well at all but still undefeated and only three off the top but i'll say it again that there's something not quite right watching us play...

I hate to say this but werw gonna do naff all this season, something has basically changed at the club and i cant put my finger on it.
It could be the signings weve made they are not Mancini type of signings and again im loathed to say this but i think it all stems from not signing Van Persie that was one collosal dropped bollock by Marwood cause this guy could win it for the rags ...spit

Complete bollocks

 

[SlauterPFK]

Silva, Clichy, Aguero, Garcia not good enough..

Dzeko should have stayed in, Tevez openes lot of space with great movement

Gervihno best City player today

feels like the defence under Hughes matched with the attack 2 years ago when we relied on Tevez all the time to get us goals and chances.

Completely outplayed by Arsenal on our own patch. If Gervinho was a half decent player he could of got 2 or 3.

We have been poor all season. Mancini needs to stop pissing around with formations and go back to 4231.

Completely outplayed? Which game did you watch? They had their chances and so did we. Never were we "completely outplayed", stop being a mardarse.

For anyone who watched the game on Sky, did twitcher junior have an opinion on merits of zonal marking, in particular i want to know if he gave an insight into his view about if a player attacking the ball fro a running start has an advantage over a defender try to clear the ball from a standing start.

I can't remember his mentioning this at all :)

fucking southern ponce.
