Match Thread | Man City vs Villa (25/04/15)

[Bluep*ss]

Pre match Sky stats said City have the oldest squad in the league.

 

[roach3]

the whole team bar navas and zabba looks totally outpaced.

silva no good over there, needs to be more central to hold the ball up for our aging midfielders.

kolorov offers nothing going forward.

the towering mangala I think has won one header yet the undersize zabba wins nearly all.

kun not pressing watching defenders pass around at will.

need milners energy and fernandinho pressing second half or we could be in trouble

Not if he's already offside.

See shots that the keeper saves which rebound to players offside when the shot was taken. Flag is then raised. It hitting the keeper doesn't then play them onside.

Don't worry. Many people get mistaken like you on this.

In this case the ball ricocheted away from goal then was hit by Yaya back towards the goal where the players were. I would agree if it had only hit one player on it's way forward but as it was going away from goal before Yaya's touch I think it was onside.

Happy to be proved wrong though.

A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent, who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save), is not considered to have gained an advantage

Start a thread about it ffs.

 

[Don Karleone]

Apparently Fernandinho is coming on for Yaya.

Good

Think it's an injury.

Lampard needs to come off too. He adds nothing.

Agree with that as well

 

[pudge]

Just shoot ffs

 

[jollylescott]

Can we put Kolarov on the sale list please.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

I'd rather sign Delph than Barkley

And Kolarov is really shit

 

[Damocles]

Pre match Sky stats said City have the oldest squad in the league.

This is because we have Lampard, Richard Wright and the like. Our first XI is on the upper end but not the oldest.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

I see Villa coming out energised after inspirational speech from Sherwood. We carry on as was and it ends up 1-3 to them.

Because the balls are aimed at Zaba? Mangala is doing his job.

I am tired of Lampard though, not doing particularly well.
