City v Wigan | Post Match

[Vienna_70]

Good play and a good result for City but I should think that Wigan are relieved to be out of the competition. I heard they had 9 changes from the weekend (us 10) and they have enough to deal with with the obligatory Europa League games whilst they're trying to get back into the Premier League.

Serious competition for ourselves, United and Liverpool. It may be United's and Liverpool's only route into European football next season! - alternatively, if a CL qualifier such as City win it and the EL place goes by PL position. Important that our competitors are in Europe next year as it will tire them out!

The rags and red dippers aren't both going to do well in the League Cup.

They're playing each other tonight!

Great result and performance last night.
Of course it's only Wigan but as stated previously we can only beat what is put in front of us.
I liked how the boss brought on Yaya,Navas,Negredo in the second half....

Interesting to see Coyle blaming soft goals....after Rooney claiming Sunday was down to their bad defending.

I wonder how many other teams will blame themselves in these circumstances and how May will credit us.

Agree. I bet a few sides are bricking it now and lining up the press conference excuses already.

Sorry, that should have been "United's or Liverpool's". Obviously no two teams can qualify for the EL as League Cup winners!

I wonder if it was always the plan to play Ferny first half and YaYa second.

Whether it was or not, it worked very well.

Im not sure about that.Think they will both be starting on Saturday.Never in a million years did I expect to see Yaya,Negredo and Navas come on.

Good lad

Cheers m8

I'm not happy for you... I had Dzeko and 4-0 (33's) !! Oh and Sunday I had Aguero 3-1 (50's)

Ah fuck it...well done ;)

I had Dzeko and 4-0, as you say at 33-1, plus on sunday i had 4-0 at 55-1 absolutely gutted when Rooney and now Jesus scored.... ah well at least we're winning in style.

 

[GazM]

And Villa had a nice morale sapping defeat in time for the weekend as well. A perfect evening.

Benteke out too !

The dilemma between City winning by more and losing out on big money!!! A pal of mine won £4000 on Aguero first scorer and 4-1 at the weekend. Think he had it at odds of 200-1.

Was working last night so missed the game - just saw the goal highlights that Shadygiz put up (thanks) and how composed was Negredo for the final pass to Navas - if that had been Wooney/van rapist/Wiltshire the media would be creaming themselves about it. Absolute beautiful piece of technique. Rapidly becoming my favourite player for us - technically excellent with the power to flatten Huth and hold camelgob off like a child - what's not to like?!!

 

[MillionDollarDream]

Those Sky Sports highlights just kept mentioning how poor Wigan's defending was instead of praising the actual goals, frustrating to listen to. Had we not been able to break them down or missed those chances they would be all over us about the finishing.

Superb, what a week. Lovin' it.
Thanks Outrun - my PC doesn't like these streams.
Quick question if anybody can be bothered replying - i am trying to avoid downloading software or loading updates etc from theses stream sites - do any of them just play when you click on the link or do they all start churning out spam and opening new windows with ads and asking for registration etc.

Never ever download anything from them, use the Adblocker extension with Chrome. If the site won't run with Adblocker use a different stream. You'll download a shed full of crap if you click any link.

yup, never try and run free streams without adblockers installed and running

Are these adblockers freeware programs shadygiz? I'm on a company lap top and some of these sites do make me nervous tbh

I missed the first half but used Pudge's link to see the second half (cheers Pudge)

 

[SuperYaya]

Had to miss the game (and waste my ticket) because something came up last minute.

How did Lopes play?

Its what they do best. BBC report starts with "Manchester City's £22m striker Stevan Jovetic" and then you have Coyle saying how our team cost 200 million and we brought on another 100 million. I have never ever head this line when teams play Utd, Chelsea etc.
Also are we the only team to have 70% of the ball and seem to concede more free kicks than the opposition lol

A good watch tonight, here in Scandinavia we actually had it on the telly. Jovetic enjoyed himself with some good play but I still rate Aguero and Negredo as our first choice. Milner excellent tonight, Clichy looked a bit rusty. Fernandinho and Yaya immense. Interesting to see Lescott and Boyata together. Boyata doing some silly mistakes but he tries to be creative at least. Lescott scared of the ball even in a one-way affair like this.

Jovetic has great potential. Check some of his games in Italy. If proper managed and with no injury you will be suprised of end result. I think his phisical, mental, intelectual (game-plan) potential is on higher level than Aguero's and Negredo's.

I was aware of his talent and everything he has showed so far confirms that. He looks to be a very well rounded player with both skill and awareness. Comparing his potential to that of Aguero and Negredo is a bit meaningless for me. As of today I feel the pair of them complements each other in a fantastic way and will be key in our campaign this year. And if you think Jovetics physique will surpass that of those two... well, let's say he has some growing to do ;)

And, he seems to be a very good-hearted and likeable fellow. The way he greeted the lads after the derby was touching.

All other "great" teams were doing the same thing since fotball become professionall sport. When MU, Real or Barcelona spend 100s of milions it is completely normal and acceptable (look at last transffer Bale to Real), but when someone else interrupt their domination doing excatly the same thing than they are complaining. "Big" clubs were always big just for their money, nothing else. Money attracted good players and brought them titles, popularity etc....

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Some tough decisions for Pellers on Saturdays game

Fuck me, Silva and Rodwell have to come back to the squad yet

And Demichelis!
