City v Watford Post Match Thread

[Didsbury Dave]

Good to see that the team is really a team... Who will stop us?? Able to play fantastic football and if necessary fight till the end. That's the mixture of Champions!

No one is going to stop us, mate. No one. I'm glad you can see what's happening.

Every performance shows a new dimension to this side.

The extended highlights are up on the website now. Well edited as it didn't show just how bad City were in the first half. Anyone know when the 5th round draw takes place?

Ha ha, now I know you're wumming! I mean having spent the last 8 months bellyaching about the loss of Mancini at every opportunity, whilst the rest of us spent it endorsing the appointment of Pellegrini, you have to be, right?!

I'd say you got a good carpeting there

except the wurzel is chatting shit. I like pelli but we treated bob very poorly, sadly we have some fans want success at all cost, even if it means riding slipshod over a manager that got that friggin banner down.

I thought we were better than that.

are you looking at me??

(I was talking about him)




- it's been wacky in here this afternoon/evening

Well it's a good job the people bankrolling and running our club know a lot more about football than you, bill.

Call me stupid, but do you have a link as I can't seem to find them? All I see is the Aguero/Jovetic reaction videos.

Got to give Watford some massive props for the way they took us on, and let that be a warning for any future games we may take lightly.That's the magic of the cup, from despair to delight, good one for the fans today!!!

Hopefully a reality check not only for the players but also those posters who suggest some crazy team selections - lesser teams look on games against us as their cup final and play out of their skins.
Watford players may be disappointed at losing but I bet their confidence got a massive boost from this game.

Me neither.

What we saw today had fuck all to do with losing form.

And at no point did I say we should sack anyone, although in fact we should.

My point was that we have some great players who can pretty much be relied upon every single time and who are the spine of our team. I am talking Hart, Kompany, Zabaleta, Silva, Aguero primarily. Then you add in some others who are real top quality - Fernandino, Negredo, Nasri. Perhaps add Navas and Kolarov too. You play a majority of these and you know what you are going to get. Quality and work ethic and almost certainly a result.

Then you have other players who are patently not as good, or who can be great but are a bit flaky. I won't name names, but the rest basically. Play one or two of those and that's fine, they slot in and support the main cast. But when you have too many b list players, we struggle. It's not the first time we have seen this, and that's why I say it's got nothing to do with form. It's about quality.

I am not suggesting we sack all of these, just that we don't play them all at the same time.

John McEnroe and Peter Flemming won everything in tennis doubles and Flemming was a donkey. But Mac didn't sack him. On the other hand, if two Flemmings had played together they would have got knocked out first round every time. Our supporting role players can do a great job in a supporting role. But not in the starring role, thanks.

you can't be serious

Yes. Why not, Einstein?

Einstein eh ? you can't be serious ? McEnroe ? get it now ? it was just a joke but i guess not a very good one :)
