Match Thread | Man City v Hull (31/08/13)

[Airbags Optional]

I know it's early in the season but terrible defence no ideas going forward very bad

 

[taconinja]

Jovetic for Navas.

Milner for Fernandinho.

That might give our strikers A CHANCE.

Yes let's unbalance the midfield further.

 

[KingVinnie]

Lescott, Kolarov and Dzeko have absolutely no idea how to control the ball with their first touch; surely that should be a basic skill for top class players!

It is. They just aren't top class.

 

[RandomJ]

But but but I thought Mancini was the sole reason we were playing shit how can this be?

 

[Pigeonho]

Oh, i'm sorry

Get some bollocks, i'm not having a go, i'm sharing my opinion.

So they apparent 6 foot strong enough, skill full, great dribbler wouldn't make a difference in a game where our players can't keep the ball?
Ok.

We'd have to have the ball and give it to him first.

 

[PSmyth07]

I missed the pre-game, what formation are we using?

Looks like everyone is on a free role.

 

[rnblade]

Fernandinho is not justifying his exorbitant price tag!!
Complete lack of cohesion and effort. Trying to walk the ball into the goal as normal, do our players realise you are allowed to shoot from anywhere.

Considering the talent we have in our squad, I find it really worrying how regularly we give the ball away. It seems we're still carrying the walk it into the net bug, from last season too. Would have liked to have seen Negredo get a start today, and is Jovetic still not fit enough?

 

[AustinBlue]

I love Silva.. but his passing is atrocious this game

 

[andrewmswift]

that's a free fucking kick
