That's Garcia banned.

What?

BBC live text making a fuss about his elbow on McManaman, they're at it already.

Wtf? ^

Am I wrong?

The amount of times he receives the ball at speed before just aimlessly flicking it first time to the opposition is unbelievable.

And you don't think that's because of who's behind him? what's he supposed to do 2 on 1 when Richards hasn't got a fucking clue what to do. It's amazing how he looks like a different player when Zabaleta is next to him.

He does it every week so let's not blame Micah.

Slightest bit of pressure and he feels like he has to aimlessly fling a leg at the ball in a random direction. I have never seen anything to suggest that he should be anything more than an impact player to come on after an hour for us. That's all Spain use him for and that's the only way you can utilize what he offers.

Why are people blaming Demichelis?..what is he meant to do,tell Manuel he refuses to play as he feels he's not good enough?...not going to happen,the fault is firmly at Pellegrini's feet. He bought him,he picks him.

Improve? Not be a liability? Stop costing us goals?

All of the above?

Well it's obvious to you and to everyone else and nothing is going to change with him,so why does Pellegrini still pick him?..

Not hugely surprised they took it lightly the week after a trophy win and international break. Pellers will put them straight at half time. Keep the faith. City to win 3-1

Richards and Nasri off and we'll be fine. Nasri hasn't been awful but it is just not his day. Richards has shown what most of us already knew.

We'll right the ship.

Nasri is one of the few players who looks like he actually wants to change the score! Definitely hasn't come off yet, but I would put Silva next to him before taking him off.

Too much party after the cup win? looks like every one got a shit load on their ass.Slowest performance from city ever.
We can't score if we keep playing like this in 2 nd half.Got to up the tempo

 

[SteveinBeds]

Poor display. Said by others the second string players are way below par. We need the big guns on.

Silva will unlock the door. Keep the faith

Stop talking sense and being upbeat. There's no place on the match day forum for that type of attitude. Flapping only allowed!!

OK, I won' bother with my post that MDM will score a header to equalise and hit a sizzler for the winner...

 

[teddykgb]

Are some of you really wanting to see Boyata play? If not MDM, and you want to rest Kompany, who was going to play?

 

[Gelsons Dad]

Yet again 442 proves to be the wrong tactic. And a poor selection today just makes it worse.

Holistic at it's best. He's got absolutely everything wrong today!

Like to see silva on with nasri. The milner later on.
