City V Wolves - Official Match Thread

it definitely is nice to get 6 points so far when you can definitely still see players are getting used to each other.

I saw too many fancy passes early on trying to set up the perfect opportunity.

How the heck does Ireland miss his best chance?


That said, the best clubs don't win pretty each and every week and we are going to have to win our share of ugly matches.
 
I'm very happy, a good win against a young, hardworking and enthusiastic team. This is still a very new group of players so to me both halves were encouraging. The first half showing we can click together and completely dominate a match, and the second showing that we can tough it out when not playing well.

Slightly concerned about the centre of defence still. Thought Bridge was very good though.

Let me retract -

There are some easy games in the Prem.

Happy now?

I'll agree with this :-)


Generally what happens if any side in the league is on top of their game they can prove to be difficult opposition for any side (Hull vs Chelsea). If they aren't fired up then the difference in class generally shows (Hull vs Spurs)
 
Bellamy was horrendous today, gave away possession so so easily every time he had the ball, then ran in front of SWP's shot. Hopefully he gets better this season, his pace off the bench could be vital.

Was so frustrating to watch today, should've won by at least 5 goals really. 3 points are 3 points though I guess.

Me too, Micah had a decent outing on the other side as well.

He was close to our best player against Blackburn, so he's already been better.
 
On the train back from the game. We never make it easy for ourselves do we? Typical city hasn't died just yet. We need that defender asap. Richards was decent, but he let his man get the better of him far too often. Adebayor was excellent, as were SWP and Given. Ireland was average, and Robinho was disappointing. We put ourselves under unnecessary pressure because we couldn't keep the ball. Just hope lescott comes sooner rather than later. However, whinging aside, i'm happy with the 3 points against a potential banana skin.
 
Can't expect our team to walk every game, we have raised the bar with our transfer signings this summer and every team is going want to beat us. We were professional in what we did, one of the problems with rotation is sometimes the players coming off the bench will try to hard and things won't just come off. From what I saw and only in my opinion too many times we made wrong decision when it mattered.
 
I think we'd be better off with Bellamy on the right but that would mean dropping SWP. Bellamy has the same blistering pace but I feel he is more intelligent with the ball. (granted he made one mistake today) . SWP career hasn't really grown in the last couple of years and although he a better game today I still think he's hot and cold at times.

I think the old Typical City has died and been replaced with the new moneybags typical city, almost snatched defeat from victory would have been typical city, the new moneybags typical city is we didn't throw the game away but scrapped home.

I thought we were going to stick with 3 in midfield, and have a front 3 of Tevez, Adebayor and Robinho, then have SWP, Petrov and Bellamy on the bench as some serious pace to come on later and hit on the break, guess not though. Maybe in other matches.
 
I think hughes should have counteracted wolves going 442 2nd half by putting dejong on way earlier, we were getting overrun in midfield
 
I truly think we'll learn from this and really go for the throat next time we go a goal up early on. A 2nd goal would've seen champagne football in that second half. Instead Wolves weathered the lucky breaks, quietened the crowd down and really went for it with a more attacking formation.
 
I think the fact we never took our numerous chances
gave Wolves added impetus and belief they could
get something. We nearly hung ourselves.
That's the only gripe i've got
Other than that i'm happy with a win, 3 points
and a clean sheet.
Anyone expecting a 5 or 6 goal demolition was quite
frankly trippin'
