Match Thread | Man City vs Bayern Munich (02/10/13)

[Wretched Vengeance]

sick of hearing,"it bayern, the outstanding, they world class, they have better players, blah blah, do we put on our slippers smoke a pipe and admire, the fuck no, we should pull up our sleeves and try and do sumit about it, i rather go down fighting, than end up looking like a limp dick

Exactly! We have a much better side than Cardiff, Stoke, Villa, yet those supposed inferior players managed to find a way of dealing with us. Time for them to show what they are made of this half! And this include Pellegrini.

MP got his tactics wrong but he can put it right second half - get Navas and Dzeko off and Silva and Milner on. Nastasic and Richards had poor first halves too.

My thoughts on the 1st half...

-Bayern are impressive. The constant movement when they have possession and the constant pressure when they don't are what make them the best team in the world.
-I think we're really missing a player like Tevez in a match like this (at least he's not refusing to come on this time). We need one of the strikers to drop back to help win the ball back. Tevez is great at doing this, Aguero tried a little at the end but it's not his game.
-Joe Hart....WTF man? C'mon.
-Yaya isn't getting forward at all because he's defending the whole match. Starting to look kind of winded.
-I think Clichy is doing a pretty good job defending all things considered. Nastasic isn't looking sharp.
-Is Dzeko even playing or did he get sent off when I went to take a piss
-My God Frank Ribery is a brilliant player
-David Silva should get a new hairstyle
-The ref/linesman are calling a lot of "soft" fouls. I heard the ref is Dutch, he's probably Robben's second cousin.
-We need to make a change at half time, although they didn't have a huge amount of clear cut chances, they're dominating the match. I don't know what change I'd make (maybe Silva for Dzeko and play with 1 striker) but something needs to change or we'll lose 1(probably more)-0.

But I have a problem with all 11?

So do I, but some people get fixated on one player and decide we all need to know, and they keep telling us

OK i am sory i will stop comenting him.
BUt mark my word, you will see who was right. If he is so good he would cost more than 12 mil. HE is a fucking winger, who didint have one fucking good pass half the game and keep losing the balls. ( 1 goal just his fault ). Maybe if there would be some other player infornt , maybe than he would start passing fucking good balls on strikers heads in box.

Andy Carroll cost 35mil. Your argument is invalid.

It was dreadful from our point of view , and even when we do mange to get the ball we appear incapable of keeping it , or creating anything ..... very lucky for us that they haven't managed to score a second goal.

That first half looked like an episode of the walking dead.

Hahahaha! Spot on!

 

[Mr Partridge]

If Pellegrini doesn't make some sort of change at half time then I'll be seriously worried if he's the right man for us. If he thinks THAT is acceptable and he doesn't need to do anything, he isn't doing his job properly, simple.

Two points -
1 Yes we're getting stuffed
2 They've only scored one goal which was (afraid to say) a keeper error

keep the faith!
