City v Boro post match

[halfmist]

This tiredness crap that some are using as an excuse. The previous game was 4 days before. How do you think tennis players go on playing every couple of days. When them lot won the treble playing and winning every few days no one was complaining about tiredness and it was the end of the season. If they are too tired don't play them! For me they are still trying to pass the ball in to the net rather than more playing at a higher tempo.with more shots needed rather than passes. No confidence in the defence.
I always feel the opposition have a good chance of scoring every time they attack. If a good team comes and attacks us they will turn us over.

Flapper central in here today, typical Bluemoon when we don't win.

We were brilliant today, just missing that finishing touch to kill the game off but shit happens sometimes throughout a season. The passing and movement was unbelievable at times, the way we're playing is an absolute pleasure to watch.

Sensible. Not sure this forum is for you...

It was at Eastlands that mate. Sun Jihai scored for them.

Thanks for correction Ric.
My memory is worse than I thought it was, usually I compress yesteryear into a fairly recent event so its a surprise to know it works the other way round.

Rumours Barca are a decent outfit

Are we any further forward than last season ?
Worse off I in the league ,not played a top 4 team bar spurs.
About the same in the chams league
Out the cap one cup
No nearer to getting a settled first choice back four
No settled position for our midfielder s
And gone with a style of play that if the forwards don't press the keeper we struggle with
No pace and desire besides barca and wba
Are we much better off than this time last season ?

We're playing a totally new way which will take time. I think it's ridiculous to try and compare it to last season when we were playing a recognised and well worn style. To answer your question though, for the whole, I think we are better.

Can honestly say after the minutes silence don't think I clapped once .
Crap game even if wed won freezing cold crap day out,the only entertainment was the boro fan getting twatted in 137 at the end

Not even for our goal? There was a slide rule pass into their box for KDB in the 2nd half which was worth a kleenex or two let alone a clap!

I don't like the way young Garcia is being blamed, that falls on the forwards for not wrapping the game up earlier.
It's easy after the event, personally I think Komps should have been sent on at 70 mins.

We are creating chances, we just need to start taking them.

Agree. It was nothing to do with Garcia; we should have gone in at the break 2 or 3 goals up but for poor finishing

We have a big squad and they all need to play. After a huge game in the Champion's league imho we could have started with Garcia Maffeo, Sane, Nolito, Nacho, Kompany. Give them game time, fresh legs and hunger for future starts. It easy in hindsight but surely we couldn't have done any worse.

Prior to his ban Nolito was a regular, now he is not. If he hadn't been a dick things could be so much better. Who knows? Why managers suddenly decide to stop picking a player in form I don't know.

Yes that was a decent ball ,hands were too cold by that point.
Sitting in the north stand yesterday they may as well have put a big fence across the half way line for what we saw of the ball

 

[fredmont]

Corners are a complete waste of time for us. We should go short every time.

When we go short it ends up with our keeper. Why we can't go short and whip it in I don't know.
