what's he done wrong ffs?

This?

What has he done right?

Gotta be a bit braver when attacking Navas's crosses for me

No better than last season away.

Cardiff doing well

 

[Luke_mcfc]

Cardiff have been the better team, fair play to them. We need to up the tempo..

No they haven't.

They really haven't been, as you have said. They have just kept us from doing anything in the final third... Well, in tandem with our keeping ourselves from doing anything, that is.

If City were still a mid table to bottom side and they played against the top sides like this Cardiff and so many other teams do I wouldn't bother watching. It's shit.

They tired themselves out after half an hour and then we started to create a few half chances. Final ball been a bit forced so far, but I think we'll end up 2-0 barring a catastrophic Campbell breakaway cock-up.

On the hour they'll be shattered.

Tired out after half an hour?- they still managed to create two good chances in the last five minutes of the half!

 

[kaz7]

I havent got a great tactical brain but didnt navas spend too much time in the middle?

 

[BlueMoonWalker]

Utter shite. Should never have sacked Mancini.

Well we did, move on.

 

[1961_vintage]

I will get crusified

only if you'd have suggested taking Navas off.

 

[bobmcfc]

What will happen if we don't win. Will everyone go crackers again ?

 

[SebastianBlue]

Hmmm...


Started as expected, weathering a storm, settled without doing anything really apart from the odd Silva moment and then a few long balls near the end and a slight heart attack.

Silva, Aguero and Clichy playing well. The rest not so. We don't look much like a team. Fernandinho looks like Gelson. All sideways passing with no end product.

Still...watching it in 3D with my new soundbar attached...it's very exciting!

Behave.
He was man marked the whole first half.
As Cardiff tire he will become more influencial.

He actually had several good slide rule passes toward the end of the half, most to Silva or Aguero trying to feed the creative players right on the edge of the box. He certainly has been better than four or five others on the pitch but that is not to say we have played as badly as some on here are saying.
