Its Not all doom and gloom

[Shirley]

Fernandinho out for a month. Interesting to see what we do with the midfield now.

Interesting to know where you got the news he is out for a month?

MP said in the news conference he may be out for 4 weeks.

Injuries to Nasri and Kun are bad enough but if this is the case this may well be the last straw in our battle to stay near the top of the premiership.

Clearly Negredo isn't fit at present either.

Hopefully Garcia and Milner are right for the next lot of games coming up.

Obviously Lescott and Richards were not available either last night but we cannot afford any more injuries from now on.

If its our high intensity that is causing these soft tissue injuries at an alarming rate then we have to modify our game style until we find a better way.

If we don't things will get worse with no plan b to keep the season on track.<br /><br />-- Tue Feb 04, 2014 4:55 am --<br /><br />

Todays result was a kick in the teeth but look at arse's and the chavs next two games
Liverpool v Arsenal (12.45pm)

Chelsea v Newcastle United (3pm)


West Bromwich Albion v Chelsea (8pm)


Arsenal v Manchester United (7.45pm)

Chelsea v Everton

Arsenal v Sunderland

Surely a few of these can cause an upset to both all we need is a draw for either of them and we are back where we belong our fixtures over the next 3 weeks look good for us

More concerned about what we do and how we cope with our injury crisis.

That's what I thought this thread would be about to be honest... I don't know what we're going to do without fernandinho. For big games, the system is either going to have to change or we're going to need to convert milner into a WC cm ASAP. I just can't see our system working without an engine in the middle of the park. Fernandinho has an amazingly well rounded game, but his mobility, for me, is his most important trait (for making our system work). Milner is the only player within our squad I can see being even close to capable of fitting in at the role, but even that is a long shot. If demicheles stays in there Yaya's game is going to suffer big time, I'm afraid. Zuculini may be the reason we didn't do anything about this in January, but right now it just sucks. We need dinho.

Out for a month, that is really bad news.

 

[Ducado]

We got beat by a better team and I can live with that.Just need another long run of unbeaten games.

But we are the best team on the planet?

Maybe the biggest positive to come out of tonight is for us all to realise we are still a work in progress and that we aren't unbeatable even at home especially when we have inferior squad players covering injuries to our first eleven.

Bayern Munich taught us a lesson at home and we bounced back. Chelsea have done tonight.
We learn from the mistakes and take one game at a time and see where we get to.

If it curbs the Rags-like arrogance we have seen on these pages I won't complain.
Let's brag after we've actually won the trophies not before!!

CTID

Yet another City fan which an inbuilt inferiority complex, a psychologist would have a field day on here, you are actually glad we lost, and don't deny that is what you said, it is exactly what you said you are glad we lost because some city fans were getting cocky now that is sad and pathetic, the sooner fans like you pack in supporting us the better

 

[sir baconface]

We lost a game; that's all.

It was an important game but not one that defines the season.

 

[Bill]

It's not all doom and gloom because we are a brilliant side with too many injuries.

 

[Bluemoon230989]

With the injuries mounting up, we could very well get knocked out of the FA Cup (Chelsea will be able to play full strength due to no UCL) and suffer big time against Barca. Pivotal though that we keep winning in the PL, particularly with the run of games : (Norwich A, Sunderland H, Stoke H, Villa H, Hull A, Fulham H) we have to get maximum points from that, and by the end of that run, Fernandinho, Nasri and Aguero should all be backl (please , if there are footballing gods out there, please let us have some fortune with our injuries, maybe even one or two back early).

Not sure what this means mate?

They don't play until the week after we do is what I think he means.

No doom and gloom at all. The Chelsea result was a disappointment all right but not a major setback at this stage. The next three league games are Norwich away and Sunderland and Stoke at home which give City an ideal opportunity to get back on track.
