Match Thread | Leicester vs Man City (13/12/14)

[Dogtanian]

Has Kompany been rushed back to soon

 

[Damocles]

Most off the Pozo criticism is that he is constantly offside, something he is in control of 99% of the time and thus a fair criticism.

Im not knocking his ability but his performance today, which has been poor.

Disagree. That is not a "poor" performance, it's a performance from a petrified teenager playing up front on his own against two physical centre backs and desperate to impress people. He's over enthusiastic with his runs and the midfield cannot find him because they don't know his game well enough.

He was caught offside 4 times, 3 of them within the space of a couple of minutes after Leicester changed formation, Milner came on and he was trying to adapt to a new defensive organisation.

Sometimes he shite.


Sometimes alrighttttt.


Deeeeeeeeeemichelissssssssssss!!

 

[jimharri]

ffs

is there something wrong with our training with all these fucking injuries

It can't be just coincidence. There's too many of these non impact type injuries happening over the last 2 or 3 seasons for it to be just chance.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Joke, if he wasnt fit to start 3 days ago, he wasnt fit to play 70 odd minutes today.

Agree. Demichelis was building a good partnership with Mangala, so there seemed little point in risking him unnecessarily.

I agree entirely. Give him another week unless absolutely needed off the bench.

 

[jollylescott]

Bit of squeaky bum time

 

[kaz7]

Feeling nervy now

 

[Pastor Kidney]

Good job we're out of the Rumbelows Cup with all these injuries

 

[Bluewonder]

Our injury management is appalling. Amateur scenes regarding Dzeko and Kompany.

 

[blueinsa]

Here we go. Some of you desperate to blame the gaffer again for a players injury lol.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

This is shambolic.

 

[johnny on the spot]

Mangala on another planet.

 

[Ducado]

Feeling nervy now

Nowt new there than ;-)

Well, from what's been said on here. Early Mancini days, we had a club doctor who called all the shots and said when players were fit to play and when they were not... past two years or so though, a new doctor has entered. And he's very much a yes man.


So, what the manager wants... the manager gets.

 

[Cheadle Blue]

need to keep the set pieces to a minimum as thats the only way they will score

We don't seem to be alone.. Rags have had loads of injuries this season. Even read slaphead Phelan slating the tactical turtle for it the other day.

7:1 in corners for them.

 

[pudge]

Awufl, absolutely awful from Navas.

Knock the ball infront of you and run, showcase that pace you apparently have instead of cutting in slowing down and passing it behind a player..

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Don't know weather we've been poor or it's been a good performance today, especially with the injured and Rome on Wednesday.

Was saying this before the game. Was no need to rush him back. The Mangala/MDM partnership looked solid and that extra week could have been crucial.
