City Vs Roma Post Match Thread

[Joe Hart's Dandruff]

Aguero doesnt suit playing up front on his own. If we are going to change the formation for Europe it should probably be him that misses out. Strange as that is to say.

Need to start Kolarov with Dzeko to get those crosses in. Fernando better be fit for the Roma away trip and Moscow trips and not get injured inbetween. Din't even test their keeper except a Lampard shot.

Work rate without the ball compared to Roma was piss poor. When will we fucking learn to play 5 in midfield, they hardly had a kick after Lampard came on, control the middle of the pitch and you control the game, Basics.

Roma was missing their #1 GK, 2 of their top CB's and their top 2 MF's. Not looking forward to the reverse.

Poor tactics, we were calling this all week, you can get away with Yaya and Fernandinho against smaller teams. But even with the MID Roma put out tonight, you could tell we were gonna get overrun.

 

[Jack Wills]

Not good enough. Not enough pressure applied on their players or on the ref to give us something.

Once we got Lamps and Jimmy on we looked a bit more in control, but like much of this season so far not clinical enough. If Silva could shoot he'd be the third best player in the world.

Yaya fucking bobbins again, he just cannot be arsed. Wish we'd sold him in summer and got Fabregas. See if Pellers has the balls to leave Yaya out against Villa, give him a kick up the arse. Start with Lampard instead.

If we're ever going to do anything in the CL we really need to make an absolute top drawer attacking midfield signing next summer.

So naive. I sincerely hope Pellegrini learns form the second half of this game going forward in Europe.

Yaya, one has too question either his commitment or his fitness. Or both. He needs the little break Joe was put on last year in my eyes.

Naive or arrogant? He should have done his homework on Roma to see they are technically good and press high. We can't cope with that in a 4 man midfield. Piss poor management from Manuel tonight.

Looks like were going to be dumped into the Europa League on a Thursday night.
Utter shite performance, the players look lost, confused and completely out of their depth.

Europa League would be a good result for us actually. A good run in the EL would our CL coefficient far more than scraping out of the groups and getting eliminated straight after... again.

 

[Bluestones]

seriously...we need to get shut of Toure asap....plays like a 50 a day smoker and seems to have the management by the balls.. Plays when he wants and never gets taken off however crap he is..and most of the time he is

 

[citytill1die84]

Champions League is shit refs are either clueless or bent. Anyway we simply wasn't good enough and it looks a pretty big ask to qualify from here.

How unfortunate that Paul Scholes called this correctly prior to the game and after.
