Manchester City vs Juventus - Match Thread

[RochBlue]

One thing stood out miles tonight - turnip head is a class 1 nob.

content with a point.

And Juve is not average. Their long range attacks and setpieces looked superior to Top PL teams bar Chelski with drogba. Though they do lack box attacks and crosses.

I agree, thought Juve were good and could have easily nicked all the points.

Everyone said before the season we'd need a few months to show our best football, I think we've come a long way. Stingy at the back, dominating the midfield, don't worry blues the goals will come next.

It's a bloody game, played by blokes who aren't supermen they try their best, we support, yeah a bit frustrating if you want goals goals goals, but come on, we doing great..aren't we???

...funny how people see things if such different ways

Juventus are "just men" as well, though, and our "men" are better than their "men".

We dominated posession and mustered 5 shots all night. Adebayor... Vieira and Barry. Give me strength.

Mate....I know. At times, it just comical the way some of our players just bumble around and shots on target has always been our problem. With all that in mind we did great. Could have so easily been a loss especially after they scored first...but for the first time in a while I was sure we would score and i certainly thought we'd score again. We lack some killer touch but it gonna come

Gonna take more time...as per usual. But I'm enjoying the ride so far..aren't you??

Goiung to Newcastle game..can't wait...CTID

Juventus are a good team, we are slightly better. A draw was fair. Early days. Win on Sunday.

But this game was such a contrast to the game against Chelsea. Tonight's game showed that once again, passion will only come when United, Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool come to town. We'll win games, but we won't win games the way we did against Chelsea. Tonight wasn't gutless, but playing Vieira showed what Mancini wanted from that game.

With hindsight - he should have started Silva, Milner and de Jong, rather than Vieira, Barry and Adebayor.

Ah well, a points a point, eh?

Very entertaining game, both teams played well and apart from the game's opening and end we looked the more dangerous. Hart looked a little shaky but apart from that I saw good performances all round. Take that form and tempo into the Newcastle game and we should win.

Yep ... +1 on that one, Milner over Barry for a tough match like this ... for his forward play

Bye Bye Ade ... times up!

 

[kennycar]

i thought there were at least 8 worse players than Ade tonight to be honest.<br /><br />-- Thu Sep 30, 2010 9:52 pm --<br /><br />I think we have to stop bringing on Silva with 15-20 minutes to go, he hasn't once influenced a match. Don't know if that's because he needs a start or because he's not good enough yet. Not overly impressed. Tevez had an unusually bad first touch today, and it showed how much we rely on him.

 

[keemcfc]

We were decent today, although we gave it away worryingly easily.

Boateng provided a lot more down the right, more physical, good passer, knows what to do with the ball.

Yaya was nondescript, and we missed de Jong.

Adebayor seemed to make Tévez alot worse, as well as not really doing anything, and Tévez improved when Ade went off.

For me we need to see how Balotelli and Tévez play together.

I HOPE WE DON'T UNDERESTIMATE POZNAN.

Juventus are NOT a good team... Looked poor at the back and toothless up front.

Thought we were poor tonight and never looked liked winning it from the start.

Disappointed.
