I guess the stats don't bring into account the pass difficulty and I am shocked that he only gave the ball away 7 times.

I recall him giving away possession and getting us caught out in dangerous positions. I'm not one to knock our players and normally I agree with most of your analysis but I thought he was poor, I'd have to admit to being sober yet emotionally charged so my opinion could have been skewed. I have been very impressed with him so far but felt this was his work performance
for us in amongst many poor performances, we did play better when he left the pitch and scored all 3 after this point which must be taken into consideration.

I would love you to show me a video of all his touches and loss of possession as I am a geek like that and happy to be proved wrong.

Sorry, I'd have to recruit Jumanji for that.I am not that knowledgable about making Youtubes and Player touches e;t;c; But if Jumanji can help it would be great :D

As for the passes he gave away.
Minute 4:57 long ball to Adam Johnson headed out by Insua
Minute 13:17 Thru ball to a cutting Silva, last defender stretched to cut it out. Would have been a world class pass.
Minute 20:37 Cornerkick he passed to the defender (causing Kola to pick a Yellow) Worst play in the game for him. And one everyone remembered.
Minute 25:30 a crossfield pass that to AJ That was beatifully read by Insua and cut out. This led to the counter in which Marti Fenerdez dove and got a yellow.
Minutes28:14 A slide pass Adam Johnson failed to get to. This also led to pressure on us, coz Micah was already up, hoping to get a connect but A.J let the pass slip under his foot
Minute 38:40 .A chipped ball over Insua that AJ didn't read and run onto. Led to a goal kick.
Last one was in the second half. He tried giving yaya a cheeky pass and Stinj read it and intercepted.

That was pretty much all the incompletes for Pizzaro. 4 of the 7 involved Adam Johnson. This is what I mean, when I say some players make other players look worse The stats begin to show connection issuers. Also most of his missed passes were to the right

After the first 15 minutes Pizarro was poop, simples. I'm still laughing about 'that' corner lol

Denial is more than just a big reservoir in Africa you know, Dax777. As for your claim about watching the game over a lot? You need to get out more

Got it! When the facts don't match your imagination, attack the guy with the facts. Makes sense.

The FACT is that he was poor, as were a lot of players, for the majority of the game. (and that's not my imagination)

EDIT: Looking back and finding the exact times of all his misplaced passes? Are you that weird?

LOL. Facts are facts though and some will to go to the length of actually proving their point.
 
silva, johnson, dzeko + nasri have been woeful for the past 3 months.
They have no discipline and do not track back or stay in position.
Too gung-ho

hart
richards - kompany - lescott - clichy
dejong - barry
milner - yaya - aguero
balotelli

i wouldnt give the others a look in. Tevez will come on later in the game

if savic and toure are centre-halfs we are in the ++++ against drogba and sturridge
 
I remember Dzeko physically bullying David Luiz for 90 minutes during the Bosnia-Brazil game.

I wonder if we'll see that Dzeko (if he plays).
 
-------------------------Cech------------------------
Ivanovic--------Luiz-------------Terry------------Cole
Sturridge---------Essien-------Lampard--------Ramires
------------------------Mata--------------------------
-----------------------Drogba-------------------------


I expect that from Chelsea. I think Essien could be a weak link, he hasn't been great since he has came back (understandable) and was very poor against Napoli. I was shocked that he wasn't substituted.


Anyhow, I expect City to win by the odd goal.

He forgot Mata.
 
if savic plays Kompany will be left side
if kolo plays kompany will be right side

either way its not lookign good
kolo makes mistakes in silly positions
savic is worse than tweek tweek in south park -- does he neck 10 espressos before a match then have a lobotomy?

well all the more reason that the forward 3 track back and do their jobs properly
