Match Thread | Man City vs Real Madrid (24/07/15 @ 11am)

Have to agree defence is all over the place positional wise and Nasri slows it down too much going forward

 

[jared]

Fine till Delph went off... Seemed to change shape and got bummed in the face. Bad management.

Don't think Kolorov is the new scapegoat, he's just havin a very bad preseason

Not the new scapegoat. He always been the scapegoat even though our 2 very young CBs looked clueless out there against the very good RM side

 

[This and only this]

We lost that half as soon as we lost Delphs energy and mobility.We have nothing to replace it hence why he was purchased.

Kolarov and Nasri a waste of time,Fernando out of his depth.

Sagna playing well,Sterling a continual threat - brings something completely different to our attack.

Hi FI ... I saw the same thing. Thing is though, with Delph on the pitch both Fernando and Nasri looked good, better than they have all pre-season. What that says about Delph and them I could only guess, but Delph in the formation looks like a very good 'European games' set-up.

Agree with you on Kolarov, just doesn't have enough in his tank for top opposition.

I disagree on Sagna, he looks slow and out of it.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

We need fucking Left back

Agree. Just pay Kolarov off ffs

Strange how the thread was buzzing for the Roma match. .. nearly 700 posts and here we are at half time against one of the greats of football and we're on 20 posts....
Is everyone in the KDB and Pogba threads? ??

Lol that's what I was wondering!

 

[colombia-mcfc]

lol yes he is.

He isn't in the top 5 which is imo the world class bracket. I rate Neuer,Courtois,De Gea(to my pity), Bravo and Cech higher

 

[bluemoon98]

Yeah people tend to go down when people kick then in the leg.

And what do you mean "this handball"? The ball literally bounced off his chest. Have you ever played football? Think you can get out of the way of that?

Oh come off it. He went down way too easily this match and the first challenge in the box vs Roma. Not a bad record for playing two games

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Well that's up to u but how people don't see him going down a little too easy is beyond me. Just cause he plays for us now doesn't mean we can't say he doesn't dive when we said it every week when the played for the dippers.

Who said it every week??? Are you generalising?

Do you play the game??? You won't remember this as you were but a drip of your daddy's jizz, but ronaldo was exactly the same at sterlings age, slated for what was perceived as diving at full tilt.. Then someone with a brain highlighted at the speed he plays, a little nudge would undoubtedly change his trajectory.... Radio raheem is the same...

That Delph injury really is a kick in the teeth.. Let's just hope it's a tweak and he's back for West Brom as I can't see Fernandinho being 100% ready for that one without a good pre season behind him.

Perfect type of game for Delph that.

Probably at work......
