City Vs Borussia Dortmund (CL) In Match Thread

[andrewmswift]

Thought Garcia was really poor needs to up his game after the international break.

and yet we were well in control until he came off

He locked up our defense, you could see how shaky we are with Rodwell in his place.

 

[mancity1]

Too pedestrian meaning we have to go over the top to create opportunities.

Midfield too slow.

Dortmund are too fast and opening us up with relative ease and one thinks its only a matter of time before they score.

Had two good chances but really Dortmund could have scored five if not for Joe Hart who has kept us in the game.

Losing Garcia with what looks like a torn thigh muscle is also a big blow.

Mancini should play dzeko in second half


Ohh wait...

Here goes the scapegoat stuff already :-)

Just what the fuck is Edin supposed to do when he didnt get ONE usable pass forward??

Dont give the offside shit - 2 out of 3 were LATE PASSES (one was him jumping too early).

Will some of you stop arguing with each other FFS! Leave it out or you will be out!

Aguero has done a lot more than his strike partner.

dzeko has made countless excellent runs in behind and not received the ball

After a while you can only be offside side so much before it's your fault. Despite what the prophet Neville suggests.

Fuck what Neville says. Edin was onside for one - wrongly flagged - and hair's width close on three other occasions.

If he stays on (personally I'd bring Mario on around the 60 min mark) then he should keep doing this because the high line of their is extremely suseptible.

Keep the Dzeko/Balo shit out of this thread please.

In fairness it is difficult when some spout absolute rubbish.

The game crowded in the middle? Now there's a fucking surprise.

Most of them have figured us out.

Our build up play is so slow a bunch of retired citizens could match the pace. Nasri (the invisible man) and Silva (glad he is getting back to his old self) drifting inside, leaving the wide areas empty. Let's see if we can get through the middle passing sideways in the middle.

Yaya has been a disaster. Dzeko has been making a lot of good runs, but being offside that often is just not good enough, when looking at the last defender.

Think this game is crying out for Tevez. We've already seen that they can be carved open with brilliant passes from Silva. Give there goalkeeper double the headache. Agree about gettin Yaya further up field though, we can win this if we keep the pressure on.
