Match Thread | Viktoria Plzen v Man City (17/09/13)

[Chi-town blues]

What is still a mystery is how on earth a tall player like Dzeko can't ever trap the ball from Hart majority of time ?it fucking depressing .

 

[Centurions]

Aguero fans protecting Aguero and slagging off Dzeko, who's been superior in every single way to their golden midget. What else is new?

I like Dzeko, but wow. You're going for the full idiot with chocolate sauce and hundreds and thousands on top there.

How fucking annoying is Naill Quinn, he's almost as clueless as some of our Dzeko fanboys.

Lol

 

[red 2 hats]

carry on where we left off and the goal will come

 

[welsh_andy]

A good link, please?

 

[pudge]

Sergio's got the beating of the defenders, and he's been direct. Looks the more likely to score, don't see the problem.

He has a 78% passing accuracy to Dzeko's 58%

Phew, please tell that to Edin's pal, EaglesFan...might finally shut him up!1

On how many passes is that statistic drawn? Completely irrelevant.

Dzeko's backheel to Kolarov created more of a chance than any of Aguero's 78%...cause guess what - in front of the goal (when it matters) - Aguero is not passing. Just watch.

Sergio 18, Edin 19.

At last......someone, someone has eventually sussed out the problem...

.....Yaya Toure takes 3 or 4 touches before he moves the ball on.......quote Graeme Souness, implying we are too slow in the build up.

Halle fucking lujah............

Hardly at last mate, the majority of us have been saying it for nearly 2 years now.

Our tempo is insipid at times and its puzzling as to why they just cant move the ball around at pace?

 

[Chancy Termites]

Really hope Kolarov gets replaced at half time. The booking may have actually helped him because at least he hasn't even tried to tackle after it but Nasri and Nastasic are having to cover him too much and it's leaving gaps in the middle. Out of 11 starters and 7 subs, he'd be my 19th choice for left back.

 

[Cheadle Blue]

we need yaya and fern higher up the pitch, thats when we play our best football, nasri or navas off for rodwell, which will allow them to play further up the pitch, and be more influential

 

[andrewmswift]

if we play the way we did last 15 we'll win 3-0. they look dead tired and have barely touched the ball for the last 20 minutes

 

[andyhinch]

I would bring Rodwell on for navas and go 4231 with yaya in the hole. We are overloaded up top and exposed at the back of the midfield again.

I'd just try using navas
