City v Napoli Post Match Discussion Thread

[Comrade Buka]

When a team defends like that, you need to mix in TWO simple things:

1) some fucking crosses into the box

I mean - God were we one-dimensional tonight!

This.

very impressed with napolithey played better tbh,bit worried we wont make it through,i know its only one game but this group is just ridicously hard.

did mancini say wed beat bayern away??

Mancini isn't good enough for European competitions, tbh.

typical chelsea fan attitude...drop 2 points in Europe n then contemplate replacing the manager...

 

[Comrade Buka]

No way.

Vinny diving in unnecessarily and Lavezzi hit the post.

Vinny fannying about on the ball on the touchline and giving their guy a 1 vs 1 against Hart. Reminiscent of Vinny fannying about against the Rags.

Vinny saving on the line though. I do love Vinny, but he needs to learn. Franco Baresi he ain`t.

I can`t remember what Lescott did too wrong to be honest.

Scapegoat.

vinny also cleared off the line and made a couple of very important last ditch challenges. Lescott played well only thing that frustrates me is he scored for fun while at everton and with us he is lacking.

I don't think it is a matter of picking a scapegoat we played ok, Napoli stopped us from playing and did it well.

and remember if those shots that hit the bar went in it would be a different matter now.

And if their cross bar had gone in?

It's a learning curve, isn't it?

We could have won tonight. We could have lost. 5 more games to go

Personally, if we were to get knocked out in the group stages I'm not sure I'd cry too much - would help us in a sustained crack at the league

We finished 3rd last year, still feels a bit ropey to be in the CL to me

why don't ye just fuk off back to the "bridge of sighs" cockernee wankboy.

Funny how some City fans criticize Mancini but I cop all the insult. I'm just stating my opinion and you don't have to agree with it.

well i've never criticized Bobby Manc,never will.
as to "cop all the insult",
wtf d'ye think we'll do,sit back and take it.
You come onto a City forum,slag us off,
fuk yer opinion & fuk you Londonboy.

"Mancini isn't good enough for European competitions"

Tell me a Chelsea manager who has been good enough to win the European Cup??

Mancini is still good enough to beat you 4-2 at the bridge you sad twat!!!

 

[goatboy]

good game really and fair result overall but for the love of god will mancini realise tippy tappy arsenalesque stuff does'nt work against everyone. especially when you keep trying through 5-6 men in the middle. said at half time if this is'nt working by 60 mins and tevez or johnson is'nt on then i'll be very worried.

at least we did'nt lose and got an idea what the real europe is about

Lmao, we've been close to the final and the trophy itself plenty of times. As for the 4-2, the motivation for your team was the Terry scandal.

You're right pingu.

We were good at times,naive at others. A few defensive adjustments, and maybe some width may assist?
