Match Thread | Man City vs Stoke (30/08/14)

[the god Gerry Gow]

hart has cost us three points today. if it was 0-0 we would have scored. he should not start again outside of domestic cups

So allowing a player on his own to run 70 yards with the ball had nothing to do with it then.

Little fern couldn't bring down his man as he already had a stupid yellow and captain fantastic got done outside the area but it's all harts fault is it

Charlie Adam falling over isn't a foul

 

[Bruun]

Navas is way to slow when he's passing.. Broke the pace two-three times and made stupid passes allowing Stoke to get back in place.

 

[Blueband Brother]

Sagna/Kolarov are not as good as getting forward as Zabaleta/Clichy. We're usually good with fullbacks overlapping the midfield... this game it's non existent.

kolorov is far superior to Clichy

You wouldn't have guessed it from today.

 

[lewisMCFC]

Too many little pretty passes. Looks good when we're winning, but when we need to score just fucking shoot!

 

[SebastianBlue]

That is as clear a penalty as you will see.

This is a farce.

much like Stoke's.

Actually, the more I watch it the more I don't think that was a penalty. No blue specs, Diouf three himself to the ground far to easily under very, very little contact, where as Yaya was kicked full force in the knee.

It is if you're Lee Mason

Got to learn to break teams down better

For a wannabe hard man, Charlie Adam is going down easier than a Scouse widow...

 

[zeven]

Its gonna be a long season.

PS, Adam that fat fuck. hope he get run over by their team bus on their way home.

To be fair, it was right at him.

crowd dead quiet all game

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Full marks to stoke for parking the fucking train

 

[Theengelbert]

We didn't play well but we didn't play badly enough to lose we've been very unlucky

 

[BoundedCascade]

Horrible performance no matter what happens

 

[Big Dave Watson]

We applauded Chelsea for doing that at Liverpool last season.

That was what we bought Navas, Negredo and Jovetic for. We are supposed to have fixed that after the 12/13 season.

 

[Comrade Buka]

90th minute.

Still playing keep ball.

No urgency.

Very, very disappointing.

Fucking what a load of bollocks, the whole team has been wank today.

Of course it isn't bollocks, Hart should have saved that and I agree that we would have been more likely to score if it had stayed 0-0.

 

[razman]

it was a clear penalty...well our 1st loss

out of the system....

hughes would be beaming though
