Match Thread | Manchester City vs Norwich City (31/10/15)

Norwich played 120 minutes and yet we look more fatigued. Walking at times.

Without movement, there are no passing opportunities.

They made 7 changes for this match so that won't be affecting many of them.

He's had 1 good chance & yes he wasted it. 2 other shots, 1 on target 1 from outside the box off target.

Linked up well, created the chances that he missed - what has Nacho done that makes you think he's deserving to stay on ahead of Bony?

Not having a go, just feel people are too quick to jump on Bony when he's been far more dangerous than our other striker for me. Love Nacho but unless I've missed something he hasn't exactly set the pitch alight today.

I want Bony to do well but he looks shot of confidence or something. Nowhere near as sharp as he was for Swansea. Nacho has done a few nutmegs, and his link up play and speed looks good.

I fully expect that Bony will stay on, mainly because Pelli is like Arsene and wants to show his faith in certain players.

I don't see sterling making any difference if he comes on the left. Has anyone been watching him recently. If he comes on it needs to be in the middle.

What a bunch of half arsed Prima Donna dad jogging on the spot cnuts, Kolorov got a motza on this result.
That half is not worthy of the word professional, cooking annoying twats, rant not over

Calm down dear

I second that. Bony has been pure class. Minus the one finish. People seem to think he's a good scapegoat. But in my opinion he was the best player for MCity in the first half.

I've never made him a scapegoat, I've never even said a negative word about him until this thread. My opinion is that due to Norwich parking the bus it is better to keep the faster striker on and that Bony has fluffed his lines in that half.

He was probably better than his strike partner on the whole but hardly the best in our side.

 

[jollylescott]

They all need a kick up the rear end. Not enough urgency or passion.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Also like the Juventus game we do look quite slow, i think that happens when Bony, Yaya and Kolarov all play at once. Nowhere near enough pace.

It's because he's crap.

People don't like calling their own players crap so then say things like "good hold up play", yet cannot actually provide a single example of this or why hold up play against a team with 10 men in their box is a good idea.

If that's your chart for "pure class" then you'd better not watch Aguero play as your brain will explode

Nacho isn't even playing as the focal point of the attack unlike Bony. That's the reason he's more 'dangerous'. Saying that, you would much rather an important chance fall to Nacho over Bony.
