Match Thread | Manchester City vs Stoke (08/03/17)

[Damocles]

Nobody plays 70 games a season

38 PL, 13 CL, 6 LC, 6 FA Cup = 63. Stick a few replays, Community Shield and the like in and you can do it. Seem to think Liverpool did 70 recently.

But the point remains that we play a high tempo game in a lot of competitions. We need Sterling to fit all season and not just now, especially early next month. These are shit, we'll beat them without him.

Get Navas off please....

 

[super_city_si]

Get rampaging Zab on

He provides a lot of impetus to our attack. Not the worst idea.

Shocking. Worst 45 minutes in recent memory.

What the fuck is Yaya doing, in the No.10 rather than the base.

Fernandinho has been atrocious, but he's trying to cover an ocean in midfield.

Otamendi, all over the shop and breaking the line as per fucking usual.

Clichy, absolute dogshit.

De Bruyne and Aguero, zero impact.

Stoke should be two up.

Silva on for Navas and push De Bruyne wide right.

Been saying it since about the 15th minute. One simple change, swapping Yaya and Fern around, and we'll be a different team. Firstly because of the better build up and better forward passes from deep that Yaya would give us, and secondly because Fern would then be able to press higher up the pitch. We're always dangerous when we win the ball high. Don't know why Pep hasn't changed anything yet.

Silva is still our most important player. We just look lost without him.

I can see why Pep wants a player like Isco.

Came on here to post exactly this.

And what has happened to KDB? Last season we hardly missed Silva when KDB stepped in. Now he looks lost.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Why are you not here?

Cos like I said, tried to buy tickets and it was red, I couldn't find a pair together. Wish I was I would give kdb a shouting at.
