City v Sunderland Post Match Discussion Thread

[Cheadle Blue]

i can't believe sunderland were that up for the game, after being knocked out of the cup. O'neil must have had a call from fergie

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.

i'm with you here all the way i thought he'd be a first team regular when he came. even AJ looked like he was not awful when pizarro is on

anyone blaming a 30sec sub plus the odd 30sec here or there on a loss needs to lie down in a dark room, 2pts dropped as a result of a lacklustre performance all round in general, complete lack of tempo coupled with a credtitable Sunderland who seemed to want it a whole lot more than we did, on ballo, I would have taken him off after the free kick debacle, good job Im not in charge then. Although he's losing respect on a daily basis now.

De jong needs to be kept out of the first team. We were doing brilliantly til he came back. Far too negative.

this^^^^^^^^^^6

used to love the guy but he just disrupts any flow to the game.

Can't understand why would not have put Pizzaro on when Silva went off?

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.

Our midfield is fine it is the fuckers upfront who are failing to do anything for 80mins of the match.

Pizarro does change the game and has done pretty much every time he has comeon so why he doesnt start then get taken off i have no idea.

Some bad decisions from Mancini but every manager makes them and will do so in the future.

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

are you for real

Obviously on bad crack..

For the amount of great balls Kola put in Dzeko didn´t get near any of them - I thought he was utter shite. Has absolutely NO presence in the box whatsoever and for a big man good in the air that is fookin baffling

fighting over a FK
how sad

 

[Comrade Buka]

If a manager can´t get his team blazing for a shot at the title then he shouldn´t be there.

 

[arsenalrob]

One thing is must add is Pizzaro shows what's wrong with most English players.

He was on the pitch for like 10 mins yet he showed more skills on the ball than i have seen from average players like Milner and Barry.

He was very impressive.

Pkaying De Jong is what has cost us the title.

And today he was atrocious. Even tho he spent most of the game 3 yards infront of the centrebacks he still managed to not be there for 2 of their goals. I see no point in him, especially if you're going to play a 2 man midfield. Can't expect Yaya to control the midfield on his own against 3 opponents.
