International Player Watch

Delph looked very assured when he came on, I presume Sterling is being held back for the more difficult game coming up.
Shaw looked a little lost, but to be fair, the pitch was awful, I've played on better pitches ,after the cows had galloped over it!
I popped to the offy at halftime, and preferred to actually chat to a neighbour I don't particularly like, such was mediocrity of the football on offer, rather than sit through another 45mins of the Rooney legend show.

19:45 Cyprus vs Belgium - (Kompany, De Bruyne, Denayer) Sky Sports 1 shortly

 

[MadchesterCity]

Kompany and De Bruyne both start

 

[donachie&chadvalleybigleague]

Should've scored that one Kev! He's in amongst it generally though.

 

[somethingelse]

KDBs roaming around ,mainly on the right flank but now coming through the middle and on the left too,doesn't look like hes got any job defensively ,pushing some nice balls through and got on the end of a good move,so hes direct and knows the route to goal

 

[donachie&chadvalleybigleague]

Keeps the goal hunt going all night. Great corners and a free kick taken well to clear the wall and bounce in front of the keeper. Even tracked back when necessary, to the left back corner from a right forward position, though attacking is his thing. good buy for us no doubt.

De Bruyne has been everywhere, a lot more than hazard has been (who has been woeful).

Kompany has left gaps when he has gone forward to to an attacker and leaves vertonghen vulnerable luckily Cyprus haven't took their chances

You have posted the same thing in two different threads, do you have a downer on Vinnie

No I'm just saying in both the relevant threads if that's ok for me to do so master?

 

[donachie&chadvalleybigleague]

That goal was KDB's through ball. The business!

yes my son you may

I think it's fair, not been a very good Belgium performance, great ball from KDB there which created the goal

Garry Birtles should never get a job again, terrible commentary tonight!
Such a negative, spiteful person who should be nowhere near the TV

 

[MadchesterCity]

Very soft yellow for Kompany for winning a header

 

[MadchesterCity]

De Bruyne has been wasteful at times tonight with his distribution in final 3rd but a fantastic ball leading up to the goal

It's very hard to judge players on international performances although I admit it's all we have to go on for the time being, but from the first game against better opposition he looked good

Yeah he looked exceptional in the last match, the entire Belgium team were off the boil tonight; the condition of pitch, temperature and humidity may have been a factor somewhat. Either way can't wait to see him in City blue!

You should've watched it through wiziwig like me. The only word I recognised was 'De Bruyne' and it was pretty frequent so that commentator gets my vote.

Ud expect some in depth analysis of the game. That was like listening to some moaning old bastard in the pub watching the game.

Yeah Flemish or Cypriate would have been better

19:45 France vs Serbia - (Mangala, Sagna, Kolarov) - FRIENDLY.

Sagna and Kolarov both expected to start, I can't see this televised anywhere but may be available on a stream.

Kolarov and Sagna will be head to head in this match, with both our other full backs injured this really is a game we could do without them being involved in.
Let's hope Sagna doesn't play this match!
