City vs Cardiff Post Match Discussion

We had a poor day by our standards and still scored 4

Shows what we've become

Agreed; a bit lacklustre today by our usual standards. Still got 4 though, and should have two penalties. Onwards and upwards.

Missed Nasri

While the two goal lead takes the pressure off and allows our creative players to move forward with purpose and intent, it also seems to have an adverse effect on our defence and they switch off.

However, with 3 points and another 4 goals in the bag I'm not to fussed to be fair.

 

[Gabriel]

With Navas hugging the line there is more space and the game is more open, compared with when Nasri plays. Without Fernandinho that meant Garcia would be more exposed and, consequently, so too would Demichelis and Kolarov.

This was one of those 'we will simply score more goals than you' games.

Good win. Could have been more goals with a bit more urgency. Saying that, we were never going to get that today.
Think we were conserving a bit of energy ready for the 2 big league games coming up/

 

[cleavers]

would have had 6-7-8 if the ref had been even half fucking competent, one of the worst performances i've ever seen from a ref

You must have missed Mike Jones, he's awful every time I see him.

Made it far more difficult than it needed to be but should have been playing against ten with a penalty thrown in for 85 minutes of the match. Great response to the equaliser, Navas has really exceeded my expectations and is bringing a few goals to his position that I always thought were required.

Ref was clearly out of his depth. Not much more needs to be said on him.

Stupid goal to concede at the end.

Excellent to see Aguero back in and scoring two in two already. When he's fully back up to speed he'll be frightening again.

Great performance by Noone.

Ref was that bloke out of Despicable Me.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Played ok. 4 scored without really getting into top gear shows how good we are
Can't work out Demichelis. Last week he was outstanding. Today he was very poor

 

[super_city_si]

That ref was crap. Two definite penalties he jibbed out on.

 

[WyongBlue]

Good result today, but we seemed to be flat at times during the match, but again Dzeko, Navas, Toure and Aguero all took their goals well and I thought Garcia had a good game in the midfield, but our defence wobbled a bit today, especially in the last few minutes where we gave away a silly goal, but still good to come away with the 3pts................well done guys..............

 

[MillionDollarDream]

Well played!

Let's sign Noone now

I think we should sign someone..

OK. Let's sign Noone now and Someone in summer. :)

Winner!

But decent game overall, Noone was certainly someone today. Had Kompany MDM and Kola on drugs all afternoon. Think the Beast needs a Fernandinho break coming up soon and go with Dzeko/Aguero up top.
