City v Sunderland Post Match Discussion Thread

[mike channon´s windmill]

Roberto is gone. Sorry, the team didn't just lose it quit.

The 10 % cent doubt is now 90 - it´s the end. He and only he cost us that game
Milner instead of Barry is the sole decision that cost us the game. If I hear the twat say once again "I made a mistake" I´ll be over there to swing for the fooker.
The first half performance was noting short of diabolical. If a manger can´t get his team blazing for a shot at the title then he shouldn´t be there.

We had a week off doing fook all and the Mackems had a very tough FA cup tie in midweek yet only one team looked interested. He screwed up end of

Surely you mean De Jong instead of Barry? Milner put in a few good crosses where as De Jong was invisible.

Barry should have started. Had he done so we´d be back on top as we speak. He chose the wrong fookin game to rest him just like he chose the wrong fookin game to play the CB´s in Lisbon. It´s mistake after mistake after mistake. I´m well and truly off the fence. If Mou is available we simply HAVE to get him much as it pains me. We will not improve NOR learn under Bob
Only 8 games left and he rests Barry
Only a clown could come up with that one

I wonder if Sunderland will play like that against United....................

God I hope they do. If they do on their own home ground, Un*ted will get beat guaranteed.

Wes Brown, Phil Bardsley, John O Shea, Keiron Richardson........ oh yes, they will ensure united win........

Two points in the last six ain't good enough - four minutes added on is a joke

Sorry lads but the selection blew it today, Dzeko was absolutely shite again today so why does our intelligent italian boss take silva,our only creative midfielder off & bring tevez on !

Oh fuck off having a go at Dzeko he wasn't the only player to play crap and he won that penalty excellently. Its funny how when Silva has a shit game people are like give him a rest he needs it, the fact is Silva has been shit for months and we must start playing as a team insted of relying on Silva to create an opening all the time.

City fans fighting with each other, disgrace.

So are the players...

Aye but lamping each other in the stands is hardly going to lead to a great atmosphere.

 

[Lucky Toma]

And despite his goals today I cannot wait for Balotelli to fuck off so when a cross comes into the box - and how many come in per season? Must be close to 200 - we'll have a striker who attempts to get on the end of it rather than fall to the floor every fucking time because a defender has touched him.

They're never given Mario ffs! You'd think after the first fifty times he would have learned this by now.

The substitution takes a full minute off the clock and we get no added time for it, what a bosh.

Horrible performance, even given the point. We are not the same team from just a few months ago. I know there must be several reasons for that but the one that seems clearest to me is that we have no width and insist, even when it is not working, to employ a slow-tempo, passing tactic (as opposed to either a high-tempo, passing tactic or an outright counter-attack style from earlier in the season). It was not until Pizzaro came on to the field that we had any desire to play long cutting passes. The number of times Pizzaro found Kolarov or Johnson completely on their own outside the Sunderland box from our own half was unreal and should have been happening the entire match. This "twenty-five passes" and then you are allowed to shoot has to stop now. It will be the death of us.

Kolarov, Dzeko, And Pizzaro all had a great match. Balo would head that list if not for the petulance. Kompany looked not quite fit, Milner slowed down play far too often, and Silva... Well, I think enough has been said about his performance (it pains me to see it).

Hart really not at fault for any of the goals and Kolo did his best to cover for horrible midfield play.

I am very disappointed but relieved we took something from it. Let's hope United slip in Blackburn.

I can't understand when we were 3-1 down Rob didn't put Dzeko on.

are you for real

Obviously on bad crack..

 

[Jumanji]

Please tell me why we can't play the first 20mins every game like we do the last v Sunderland, v Sporting, v Chelsea.

Kill them off then relax.
Not sure what to think anymore!

Because our midfield besides Yaya is dead average for the style we want to play.

We put Pizarro on, the game changes.

 

[Dax777]

so what this proves is we need a regista just as much a winger. night and fuckin day when pizzarro came on

Like I have said a thousand times on a thousand thread. Pizzaro is the key. Just a better smarter player.
