Match Thread | Man City vs Arsenal (18/01/15)

Hart- done nothing
Zaba- Poor
Kompany- Looks off the pace, but never a penalty
Demichelis- Awful, spent the first 20 minutes trying to set up Arsenal counter attacks
Clichy- Again, awful. Kept giving it away when we had no one back
Fernando- Actually pretty decent
Fernandinho- Probably our best player
Silva- Can't get on the ball
Navas- Threatening a bit, but never anyone in the box forcing him to try impossible pullbacks to no success
Milner- Terrible, not sure if he's actually on the pitch
Aguero- Isolated, can't get on the ball.

Mike Dean- Arsenals best player

Fucking awful first half

Right on the money. For me Navas has been missing with his crosses but he is getting in dangerous positions. He stretches the play and is very good defensively. Replace Milner with Jovetic for me. We are in desperate need of creativity.

Clichy...poor?!?

He's been strong down this side first half in defence and attack.

You at a different game to me?

I was going to say, of all of our players he would be quite literally the last (level with Silva) I would complain about. Especially when you have Demi with probably his worst half of football in his career and Kompany looking shaky.

You can criticize Navas all you want, but at least he is trying something. Milner has spent the last 45 mins falling over the field. He must be the fucking Mascot.

but he runs around a lot........

normally chasing the ball that he has just given away!

we need to learn how to play against packed defences and teams that sit deep. Its always our undoing. we can never seen to break them down, arsenlas defence is wank aswell..

 

[jimharri]

Get the goat on!

 

[@BluePhil8]

Don't panic lads, we'll bum fuck them this half.

They'll remember they are Arsenal and bottle it.

4-1 City.

Milner off and Stevan is on.......we needed to change something as we've been so flat.

 

[super_city_si]

What? I thought Jovetic for Navas was nailed on.

 

[dave_blue12]

We were always likely to lose this game.

Aguero and Kompany not match fit. No YaYa, no NasrI. That is a big part of our team missing or not up to speed.

I am expecting City to drop points until we have our squad back and fit.

 

[abu13]

On the plus side, we are only 1 down and still 45 minutes to play. its hard to think we will be as crap in the second half.

 

[Super_Citizen]

If we lose this, we will be lucky to stay in the top 4 if we carry on like this.

Oh dear.
