Mueller hits out at City strikers

[richball_PF55]

Muller is a frikkin mug.....nothing moves faster
than someone beating a german to a spare deckchair
and once you get one then you don't get up

Christ thats embarrassing.

Isn't it Muller? Whose this Mueller chap?

It's either Müller or Mueller.

The 'e' is used to replace the umlaut in languages that do not use it, such as English.

Sorry to be pedantic but whereäs and naïve are both words that are supposed to have the accents on in the English language.

I think you're wrong about whereas, but naïve does.

But then that comes from French, where the umlaut is used to make the 'i' sound seperate from the 'a'.

Just like the 'e' in Gaël.

Negredo should have started, he would have pressed much more aggressively. Would have benefited from playing an extra midfielder as well probably, but Pellegrini has his system. Bayern were class either way, but Dzeko and Aguero couldn't get near them and eventually stopped trying. Anyway, back to the spelling competition.

I pasted muellers bit about our strikers

The 24-year old said he was astonished about City’s approach that night, adding: "Manchester had two attackers who -- and I exaggerate a bit -- sat in their deckchairs on the halfway line when we were in possession. No attacker is allowed to do that at Bayern or the Germany team."

Thoughts? Reactions?

spot on

Let's see if the players have got the belly for ramming some words down German throats, this slight needs to be used to the maximum. Sometimes the best team talk comes from the opposition, ps don't mention the war?

I suspect if Negredo had pressed much more aggressively, he'd just have got knackered faster. The problem doesn't appear to be that our attackers didn't run around enough, but that we had two attackers at all instead of another midfielder. And if they were hanging around at the half-way line, isn't it possible Pellegrini told them to stay up - after all, if he'd wanted more players in midfield, there were better options than Aguero or Dzeko for the role.

If those two plus Yaya Toure, put in the effort that Robben Ribery & Muller did to close the ball down & then kept hold of it with the same attitude, then we wouldn't need the extra midfielder (& one extra wouldn't have been enough anyway, we would have needed three more to match them). We could have pushed them back and matched them man for man, but they worked harder and teated the ball with more respect & Muller is right in that.

But we also needed Joe Hart to have the bottle to pass the ball out under pressure & try to playfootball rather than booting it to Bayern & basically waving the white flag that their tactics had won. Pathetic.

Our strikers plus Yaya needed to work like their midfielders in order for the plan to work though. They didn't and they wont, that three together will not do it to the required level. We may be able to get away with one striker (with a rocket up his arse) plus Yaya (with a rocket up his arse) but imo either Pellegrini adapts his system to take on Guardiola or we get beaten easilly again 100 times out of 100.

Change the managers around & Guardiola would make huge changes for the rematch. We may still lose then as well, but it would be much much closer & the following season when we had adapted fully, imo we would beat them.

We have been given a lesson & Muller is teaching us some more. Learn from it, do it, then stick it up their arses.

negredo and aguero should have started... that is all

No, just aguero with extra midfielder.

well Mr Muller, you &your club really are superior aren`t you, as is your wonderfull German football. got news for you billy big bollocks , every dog has its day & Manchester City are not going away, we will play you again & again & again & one day we will ram those taunts down your superior fucking throats.

Yes. Time will tell and it will eventually result in the same type of dawn the rags are currently experiencing.. The fact that arrogance always come back to bite you is a vital lesson to be remembered/avoided as we go forward.
