City v Sunderland Post Match Discussion Thread

[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.

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.

Bullshit. Our midfield is DEAD AVERAGE apart from Yaya.

The only midfielder on our entire team that has excellent vision to cut a team with a pass is Pizarro.

That's IT. Not even Yaya. His vision is good but not on the level of Pizarro's.

For the entire match, we struggled because we make 5 passes to get the ball in a good position to attack and by then Sunderland have gotten into a defensive shape to stifle us.

For example: 5 passes before AJ gets the ball....by then he has 3 Sunderland players breathing on him.

Pizarro makes those passes in 1 move, indirectly speeding up the tempo by FAR.

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

Dzeko is a goner in the summer but i think he left menatlly in january

If Dzeko is gone, who will the wingers that we buy aim for? Balo? He drops to floor after a touch from opposition ffs! Silva? Aguero? Tevez? All too short I'm afraid

Unless your privvy to our transfers than no one has a clue who we will buy! Mancini is looking like he might be out himself at this rate so anyone he has earmarked will be forgotten unless a new manager is interested. I noticed Balo scored twice today which means he has scored more league goals in less games than Dzeko the anonymous

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

are you for real

It was a joke. Cheer up.

I got it

 

[pudge]

Right i will take you on this, so dont forget it

I'll be happy as larry to do so if the need arises

Will the candle be lit ?? ;)

that would just be silly

Kolarov, Pizarro and Johnson only the players that turned up today. Even Tevez did more than Dzeko and Balotelli the whole game.

The toure brothers was awful today.

You mean the Ballotelli who scored two of our 3 today?

Not his best game by any means but give the guy some credit. At least he has been here all year to help put us in this position.

Not much wrong with the line up/subs, the players themselves just didn't perform, next question.

Really? PMSL.

 

[Kaiser Soze]

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.

fuck off with this. do you not think you know we were shit? it's not impossible for us to be shit and still get jobbed by officials

i've had enough of this shit for months now people calling out those who see the wretched (or bias) refereeing with "yeah but we've been bad." YES and so have them Red shits but they get dubious pens or non-pens (e.g. Fulham)

We're not fuckin children it is impossible for two things to be true

mind your language gob shite.

I must have missed Tevez scoring more than twice and winning more than one penalty.

He was up and down the pitch all the time. Worked hard. Balotelli and Dzeko did fuck all. I would rather have Paul dickov ahead of Balotelli and even play with 10 men rather than some City players!
