becuase dippers fans are bitter as fuck

Are they also that sad that they pay to attend a game in which their team isn't playing, just so they can boo an ex-player?
F@@@in w@nkers!

funny how ppl lose it over a friendly against probably the best eleven in world football. In a game, where we only have three maybe four first teames on the pitch.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

so why have a go at me when I stick up for the team.. like I said read my post fella.

Soory just seen your next post... seems the numpties are getting our kacks in a twist..

 

[jared]

Still not doing the basics right.
Nasri getting caught out when he could have nicked the ball.. could have been in on goal himself but no cover when he did get turned.

Ball over the top - Kolarov stood ball watching like a donkey and playing the whole world onside. Good line from Humphries and Denayer, messed up by the seasoned "pro".

Corner... still can't defend from them.

In terms of attacking play, Silva class, Yaya seems second best too often and the same old issues with Nasri and Navas. We move the ball into promising positions and they either dwell on it or lose it. Sterling isn't a target in the box the way Benzema is so we don't have much luck.

I doubt we'll have to play this lineup too often with De Bruyne hopefully signing. Can play Sterling Silva De Bruyne behind Aguero/Bony and will see much more of a threat.

So much wrong in this post. Silva class? Not in this match so far. Yaya and nasri did more in attacking play. At least theu had shots on target and were more dangerous in the attacking

The ones ball watching were our two young CBs when they failed to notice Ronaldo zipping past them and kolarov had to cover but given his pace againt Ronaldo. It was always a losing battle.

Fernando has actually had an OK game but his distribution is so average and slow, he'll never be more than a sporadic squad player.

Looks like we're playing more of a 4-4-2 this half.

Yes by apart from bony how are we missing the rest? Would have been nice to see a competitive match

They're having a break after the copa America Fernandinho, zaba, demichelis and Sergio. I am a basket case and I know that ;-)

Delphi was missed straight away, shows that someone with a high workrate can block the oppositions route to goal. As soon as he went off they poured through our left hand side.

 

[Demosthenes]

Fuck sake man. A City B side with a 16 year old CB losing against a full Real Madrid side really shows who the fucking muppets are.

Come on Jason lad you're better than that
