Man City vs Reading - Post Match Discussion

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Important 3 points to keep us in touch at the top.

Mancini needs to look at the tempo of the team. For me we do not move the ball quick enough across the pitch and are too pedestrian too many times in the game. We moved the ball a lot quicker last season and this helped to open defences up.

Very fair point would like to see some stats on this

We also moved the ball a lot quicker against united and Newcastle but for some reaso yesterday went back to the old slow Predicitble pace. Why?

Just shoot!

73% possession in the 1st half, 75 in the second, the reading tactic was to hold out, they didn't and the Gaz Baz goal could be very important....

Come on Swansea, come on Michu

Small point, but two players central to the winner were Milner and Dzeko - Mancini subs

Fantastic ball from Milner in the build up to the goal

The pundits seem to be saying that the cross for Barry was made by Silva,at the game I thought it was Sinclair.
Great win at the end of a long day.

Because we were playing against a back 9.

Newcastle and Utd actually tried to attack every now and again. Totally different games.

It was a cracker of a cross from Silva. I just dont know why we dont mix it up earlier by chucking crosses in instead of tippy tappy all the time. It works as defenders panic.

Wasn't the best game to watch but we got the three points which were vital. It's good to grind out results in games like this to keep us challenging at the top.

There was a guy sat a few seats from me who muttered "I'm bored watching this" in the second half, which made me smile thinking back to some of the shit games under people like Pearce. We've come a long way.

On another note, that must be one of the worst turn outs of away fans I've seen since we moved to the new stadium. How many did they bring with them, about 300?

Reading are not a big club There were more than I expected to be honest given the time of year

I spent most of the second half screaming just that.
