Re: 82% Possession...

Is that all? It looked like much more!

Hmm... Didn't you say that Clichy provides more going forward than clichy in the pre-match thread?

No.

Oh lol. Sorry was some Moderator who said that. Thought it was an extremely daft comment and today's match is just evidence to Kolarov's direct attacking capabilities. Dzeko needs a Kolarov in the team to power those high crosses in for him.

*sigh*

Clichy has better crossing, more through balls, better passing, more key passes and more dribbles. He's better going forward by every single metric.

From Sky SPorts match updates:

Harvey emails me to say: "I think that Man City are lucky to be top spot because of some controversial decisions against united this season to cost them points, so of they get the title, they dont deserve it!"

bukamukkahahhhahaaaa

 

[QuickSilva]

has there been a more dominant yet patient atatck this season?! we always looked like scoring and im so happy mario, kun and edin could get goals!

silva was a star as usual but i think kompany, AJ and kolarov all ran their socks off

COME ON CITY!!!

82% possession, 3-0 win just 1 shot on target for Blackburn all game. The same Blackburn team whipped the floor with those dirty rags haha.

Re: 82% Possession...

how about Stoke at home earlier this season

Good game, feel a bit sorry for BB at the moment. Their manager never gave them a chance and they got roundly twatted because of it. It's shit to see a club like them suffer

Its obvious that they came without any intent of going forward. Goal difference could be the key for relegation teams so I guess they are happy not to be losing by 5 or more goals..:)

What a rounded performance today, quality from back to front and disciplined for the whole game.
I'm wondering if there is another team in the world that dominates possession like we do?!

Take note all the Kolarov doubters, that was a quality performance today.

It was v. arguably the worst team in the league at home with 82% possession, let's not get to ahead of ourselves. People easily forget that he is a very poor defender, however, great assist today.

I think it was slightly below 80% in that match
