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

Is it me or do we always seem to play shit when Yaya gets the armband?
Why has it been taken off Zabba when Vinny is injured?

Not only you. Surprised so few notice. We need leadership on the pitch and Yaya will never give us that. More important than most seem to realise.

Expectations, expectations !
Yaya, Navas, Fernandinho, are non-existent in this half - only Silva, Aguero and Dzeko did something !

 

[Damanino]

When did Dzeko nearly score from a header?

Early corner at the near post. Decent effort.

That was Kolarov.

We were outplayed in the 1st half. I am surprised that stats tell a different story, but we were clearly outplayed. Not sure if Hull cab sustain the pressure (pressing) for the entire game. They have been absolutely impressive.

No we weren't, we played poorly, but we clearly had the better chances. They did not fucking outplay us.

Fuck me, I should know better than to read the matchday thread.

I'm afraid I can't agree, City have been outplayed and they had the best chance with the one on one.

Blimey stony get those specs off its been abysmal

My mistake then. Apologies.

Davey Moyes is at the game, wondering what he is thinking?

Pie him!

He is thinking ......... Fabregas, Thiago, Ronaldo, Lewendowski and Modric will have a field day in the derby against these ....

Wonder if we'll see some new faces on Monday based on this performance.

Huddlestone is an above average PL player who is being made to look like a world beater by our bloody awful midfield performance.

Huddlestone is one of the most technically gifted English players. Understated all his career.

Tactically clueless first half.

Something is wrong with yaya, he seems in very bad condition.

Aguero should not have started this match. He has been all over the place.

The manager really needs to start managing the team.

We should improve in the second half but I expect some substitutions.

He has the pace of an arthritic slug and milk turns quicker.

But still a gifted footballer.

Believe that was Nastasic -- announcer said Dzeko but was wrong.
