Match Thread | Man City VS AS Roma (30/09/14)

Stronger squad this season yet we seem worse?? How the fuck can that happen?

Because new signings Mangala and Fernando (injured) aren't playing. So its virtually the same squad as last season.

The one then that was dynamic, easy on the eye and scored goals??? We are getting mullered tonight and for the first time I'm stunned that the manager hasn't changed it!!!! Shocking

We are nowhere near good enough tactically or player wise to reach the latter stages of this competition.

Pellers needs to throw a few tea cups at (Yaya primarily) half time, swap Navas and Silva, so he can run at Maicon. And support Clichy who is being left high and dry by Silva
Even though Dzeko is having a decent game, he might need subbing to nullify the midfield.
Showing signs that we've woken up, but why should it take 30 mins!?

Why? He was the best player on the pitch in the first half. Is Kun another "untouchable" like Yaya?? If that's the case, fine - then we live and die with Yaya, Kun, and few other people who cannot be subbed if they play poorly...and everyone needs to stop bitching.

Otherwise get Yaya and Clichy off the pitch asap...worthless.

Fuck me, clichy is dog shit tonight.

He has noone in front of him...there is absilutely nothing he can do about it....the tactics are at fault not the player

Pellegrini is being found out big style. Just like Mancini not good enough at the top level. Laughable formation. Why he persists with 2 strikers and Navas and Silva and Yaya. Of course the defence will be left exposed. I said it last year and I will say it again, Pellegrini is a Chilean Keegan.

Ah well; look on the bright side. We've had a bit of a chasing there, and we're going in at HT still level.

Watching Fox soccer in the US and the co-commentator is doing my head in, slagging off City non-stop. I don't care if we could be doing better, just shut up you fucking ****! I think it's Warren Barton, not sure how he's qualified to pass judgement, just a mediocre player for some mediocre teams, never won anything. Know nothing wanker.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

No need for two strikers if all were gonna do is pass between midfield n defence for 45 mins. Clichy has been awful aswell

 

[Cobwebcat]

Poorest city performance for a good while.

Tempo is non existent

 

[MeatHunterrr]

We always play in to opponents hands. Unbelievable, always do it hard for ourselves even before kick off.

Thank fuck it's half time Pellegrini needs a rethink here we are getting overrun again and it's happening to much now to be a coincidence in Champions league matches when the fuck is he going to learn that Yaya in a 2 man midfield is not going to work
