Match Thread | CSKA Moscow vs Man City (23/10/13 @ 5pm k/o)

It's unfair to go at Garcia. Blame Peli or the gaffer above him. Garcia is playing out of position, who else is going to play there at the moment?

Here's a question for you and whoever else. I keep hearing Garcia isn't a CB but he's not bloody good enough anywhere for us.

Who should be dropped for him? Yaya, Fernandinho, a striker and play 3 man mid?

He's on 80 bastard K a week and he's fucking atrocious.

He was bought because he could play both CH and CM. So let's stop making it out like he's a striker asked to play CH. He's played CH before he came to City.

Except that he's not good enough at either for us. I agree, Pellegrini is to blame for picking him, but he's shown under both Mancini and Pellegrini that he's not good enough...don't know why he's still in the team over Lescott or Richards.

We did very well since conceding but our defence is awful, if that Doumbia would be in a little bit better form we would really struggle.

Better teams than CSKA will punish this defending like Chelsea on Sunday. Garcia is not a CB he can play there if we play like C. Palace and we are 2-0 up.

CSKA defending deep, its hard to find space for Silva, Yaya around the box. Also not much space for Navas to use his pace.

They are dangerous from counters, we should mark Honda better, he nearly always can pass it to his teammate. At least he couldnt shot from long range thats good he has good skills in that too.

CSKA probably will open up more maybe we will have some more space going forward but we have to use our chances well.

Would love to see Jovetic coming in and playing a little bit deeper in this match.

That is some cross, outside of the boot..

That's football porn. Negredo has taken to the team like he's always been in it. Sign of a really top player.

Oof, I really could watch that all day

Are we winning?

Al that smoke that got blown up his arse on Saturday must have sent him dizzy ;) I wish he was good but he's just not and a liability. It's no wonder we see players like nastasic and zab not at their best because they are too busy panicking about what this fellas gonna do

Souness is IMO the bet pundit out there. Says it like it is.

He is one of the very few pundits who gives us credit when and where it is due.

You wouldn't think so from that media arse raping.

Negredo's flick is sex, also did that hit Kun's back?

 

[Lancet Fluke]

Schmeicel is a fucking tramp.

That's not true. He's actually a fucking spunk bucket.

These are rather poor and we are lucky in that respect. Could of been in real trouble if these were a better side. We get cut open so easily and all of that isn't just down to Garcia playing centre half. It's true he's a big problem and causes the whole defence to be poor when he constantly goes walkabouts which forces everybody else to shift over to cover and leaves gaps but there's not much protection from the midfield either because of how attacking we are set up.
