Match Thread | Man City vs Newcastle (29/10/14)

[Benarbia]

Fat Sam and pardew tactically outclass us in a week. That's special

 

[rushts]

Stop whingeing everyone, you can clearly see we are playing the 'they will tire near the end tactic'...

 

[Mcfchamps]

Fifa yaya and mangala

Defence worth every penny in comedy value at times.

You fucking lemons. Trying to keep up with the game on holiday and stupidly logged on here. The exact same muppets who would be going mad if we played a weak side and went out the cup are going mad that silva has played.

You fucking lemons. I'm listening to the radio

We have a squad capable enough to cope without Vinny, Silva and Aguero.. They are our three best players and silva in particular needed a rest. Especially with two huge games coming up. Playing him tonight was ridiculous, don't give a shit what anyone says.

Southampton 2-0, christ what a season they have had so far considering...

 

[deano ou812]

Wtf is yaya doing ffs tackle him...

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

We're fucking shite without the ball.

Anybody that claims that a real prospect of Silva getting injured after three minutes or so dawned and dominated their thought before the start of the game is just deceiving themselves.The manager also did not expect this and if Silva is indeed seriously injured (which I hope not) we cannot blame the manager, it is just an unfortunate incident.

The approach and attitude of the players have been good so far and they have played well. It was just an unfortunately familiar defensive lapse with some comical goalkeeping that makes the score what it is but we are playing well at the moment.

the manager should always expect an injury and for that reason he should save his best players for more important games, especially if two of them are within 6 days with your closest rivals and a match that would determine whether we can increase our chances of CL knockout qualification

No, the manager cannot always expect an injury. That is not reasonable. He rotated the squad fairly well for this game and what happened cannot be predicted and was just incidental.

we're a shadow of our former selves.
