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

Playing with 9 men at the moment with Clichy and Yaya on the pitch, fucking terrible.

Clichy isn't the issue,it's Pellers who has set up the team wrong, hopefully he will address the issues at half time,otherwise if we don't win this, it's goodnight for another season in the CL.
Pellegrini needs to instill some belief in this team and get them firing on all cylinders, as at the moment we are being out passed, and out managed by a team made up of inferior players playing as a team

We haven't been great, but had the ref given the clear pennos and sent Maicon off, we would have this game won already.

How the fuck they aren't down to ten I don't know. The most nailed on red fucking card and he didn't give it. How can he give the pen but not the card.
The handball was deliberate too and that should have been a pen and a red. Dzeko is getting fouled every time he touches it, yet no yellows for them.
Shit refereeing. Why am I not surprised.

Every time I come on a match day thread I say to myself never again.

Bed wetters and rags springs to mind!

You really are an odious tyke!! Normally you directly accuse posters of being reds...that one was just a free for all if the cap fits your a rag......get a grip fella !!

Our midfield is too static off the ball, too predictable and boring tbh.

 

[PragueBlue]

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

Are you kidding me? A long ball over his head and he didnt have a fucking clue where the ball was or Gervinho was. He bottled out of a challenge that nearly created a break away chance for them, he been absolutely useless tonight.

Why single him out though? Kompany has been awful. DeMichelis little better. The back 4 have been exposed by the wrong team shape.

Haul Clichy off at halftime, along with Dzeko (even though he's doing well, we need the extra man in midfied and I'd rather have Kun up front) Get Milner and Kolarov on and at least try and get something resembling a midfield going. Obviously Yaya should be dragged off as well, but it's pointless to even suggest that.

New Champions league campaign, same problems. We're just soooo dire in the Champions league, we play like deers caught in head lamps.

Milner on in front of clichy for aguero. Silva in the hole behind dzeko. Toure needs a rocket up his arse!

 

[Blueband Brother]

We need to play with a higher tempo in the second half. The full backs need protection or coverage with an extra player that can fill in the space between the center backs when they go forward. We need another midfielder, Milner or Lampard in there and Clichy needs to wake up and Dimechelis was a wrong choice from the start with the pace of Gervinho and the fact that we have two midfield players.

I hope to see a better showing in the second half. Roma are a top top team but we are playing at home and this is a game we cannot afford to lose.
