Martin Demichelis

[nobody can eat fifty eggs]

yes he is when lescot came on he had him im his pocket.... demi helped him out!

how can demi help him if hes red carded off numpty ! lescot is better than demi and nastasic any day pelligreni better wise u[ quick before we lose him !

Lescott better than Nastasic? Give your head a wobble. He's a good defender without a doubt but to compare him to where Nastasic is heading and what MDM has done and achieved youre way off the mark.

For God sake.....deal with the here and now will you..................one,s in the past and one which is very debatable is in the future.....

I do deal with here and now and Lescott is past it. MDM was picked tonight because of his experience and know how and ability on the ball. Lescott "crazy legs" has no composure on the ball and it showed when he came on, he is untrusted to have the ball passed to him in tight situations and the gulf in class is obvious. He's a good defender in the mould of an English old fashioned CB but where City are heading we need a player who can give more to the team.

Hahaha, genuinely laughed. Incredible. Messi's incredible movement is the reason Kompany, and Kompany alone, was 6 yards behind every other defender? This incredible movement didn't seem to confuse Zaba, Demichellis or Clichy did it as they all held their line fine.

If you want to blame Kompany who played out of his skin tonight then you are more than entitled to do so but don't act so shocked that DM is getting so much shit for one of the worst defensive decisions I've seen in a long long time. The facts are Kompany will still be playing CB for us next season while your mate DM will be cleaning the boots.

Kompany was immense tonight, never claimed otherwise and is twice the player Demichellis ever was. But quite simply the penalty largely came about because of Kompany's positioning.

One of the worst defensive decisions you've seen? It was poorly timed and out of desperation, nice bit of exaggeration though.

To say 'one of the worst defensive decisions you've seen' is absolutely ludicrous. That stinks of an agenda to me, either that or he doesn't watch much football. Or possibly he just makes random bizarre statements?

 

[ForzaMancini]

When he stops making mistakes people will stop jumping on them

Do you deny Kompany's positioning to play Messi onside was the greater mistake?

Of course there will always be the likes of yourself eager to deflect from his mistakes

You're deflecting from answering the question because you can't deny it.

Confirming that Martin Demichelis has damaged ligaments in training today - out for about six weeks

This forum is disgraceful at times

You're deflecting from answering the question because you can't deny it.

Because your question is irrelevant.

Although by asking if it was the "greater mistake" you are at least acknowledging that MD made a mistake himself.

Which was my point.

No need for you to get insecure and bring another player into it.

Everyone was holding their line apart from Kompany. Kompany had a great game, but It was his error, and he'd be man enough to admit it. Shit happens, and MD happened to be the 'bail out' man.

Demichelis was left one on one with Messi. What would you have him do?

Ref made a mistake, and Kompany made maybe his only error in the game

Fact is we defended very well as a team, but we didn't get the breaks.

Up to you if you want to look for scapegoats. For me the only person who didn't have a good game was the referee.

Well clearly he made a mistake, he mistimed a challenge, I'd have to be deluded to deny that. Almost as deluded to deny the tackle only had to be made because of Kompany's positioning.

Why is it irrelevant? Again, a point I made earlier, if Hart spills a simple shot and a defender fouls the player chasing the rebound who would take the blame? Hart and rightly so as his mistake came first.

 

[syedorf]

The worst mistake was making a tackle you could never get with 60 mins gone and getting sent off not playing someone onside.

Pretty much all I wanted to say but couldn't be arsed to type it.

It's irrelevant as i wasnt debating it.

You seem rather forceful to prove a point to someone who's not arguing said point.

A point I made earlier, insecure.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Ah well, let's look on the good side. DeMichalis can't play in the return leg!

How did the ref make a mistake? Just outside the box but definitely a red which is worse IMO

Apparently Barcelona have appealed the red so he can play.

Im not arguing Kompanys share of the blame though.

I just stated MD made a mistake, not the "bigger" mistake.

Ive been dragged into an arguement i wasnt having.

By allowing play to go on despite Navas being clearly fouled. I saw that from the back of the stand 500 yards away.

 

[blueonblue]

Get off the guys back people, as the previous poster points out he was left high and dry by that f*cking numpty of a ref, he had to try and get a tackle in, and factually it was outside the box but the c*nt in black gave a pen anyway.

He had got more than his fair share of tackles and interceptions in during the game, and looked steady apart from a few loose balls out, far better than Lescott who came on and always looked like f*cking up.

 

[steviemc]

Those that suggest MD shouldn't have made the challenge haven't yet offered an alternative.

Perhaps he should have just run after him, but at more of a jogging pace, to ensure that he didn't catch him up. Thus allowing a few people on here to pat themselves on the back and say 'I told you MD is really sloooow'

** i agree he's not quick but he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't by some on here.
