City v Napoli In Match Discussion Thread

[Pride_In_Battle]

Suggest any changes?

Move Nasri over to the right to get more crosses in. He's having to cut inside onto his right foot, by which time he's got 2 defenders around him. In terms of subs, maybe Clichy on for Kolarov. We lose a bit in terms of balls into the box and an outlet out wide, but means we've got more pace against Napoli's counters.

Napoli are no mugs. I think we need to step on the gas a bit and bombard them with some wizardry from all angles whilst keeping it tight at the back, wary of their counter attack. Two of their defenders are on yellows and should be targeted. Micah on for Zab.

bazza needs to be replaced.

they are killing us in midfield.

Are you sure you're watching? He has been superb. We give them far too much space to run into. Zabs and Kolarov push so high up, Yaya does not work hard enough in centre mid-continually the wrong side of the opposition. This formation needs DeJong to sit next to Barry.

Not sure if 22 will remain when we get to 90 minutes. Nappy will tire in the last 15 or so and we will kill them off with 2 or 3.

Difficult to concentrate as I am so excited!

When evaluating first half one should consider Napoli is defending with 11.

The entire half.

Someone said they're dominating us in midfield? They're not dominating anything - holding to their dear lives.

I see a red card coming for them.

Goal early = City wins 2 or 3:0. No goal early = 1:0 or even a draw...that's the Champions League for us - teams come with one and only goal - get a POINT.

We're trying too much through the middle - they are bunched up in front of the box....need some crosses and wing play. That'd break them IMO.

No,we are watching the city v Napoli where he's totally immense.

Bang on mate. We should be more direct aswell. I guess it's just the cohesion still strengthening due to the new approach.

I'd be tempted to bring on one of Richards or Johnson if we haven't scored after 15-20 minutes into the second half.

Barry has a better pass completion than even Silva.

We have something like 73% possession. This is why teams draw Barca or they get 1-0 results. Teams sit back and have a go with their attacking three. How many times have Napoli had 7 guys in their half of the midfield?
