Napoli Vs City Post Match Discussion Thread

Always learn something when one comes home.

Too many players had poor games and we switched off for both goals, particularly the second, where we kept giving the ball away in the few minutes preceding it.

The good:
Silva
Hart

The bad:
Yaya
Kolarov
Lescott
Dzeko

 

[Comrade Buka]

Fist game versus Napoli back line:
Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov

Anyone remember the whining about playing Zabaleta and Kolarov instead of Richards and Clichy? Guess Mancini learnt nothing from that. I would have given my right arm for Richards and Clichy on the pitch. What a fucking disaster Kolarov was.

When you play a 3-4-3, what area of the pitch do you exploit? Takes no genius to figure out the flanks.

Also, substitutions in the 80th minute? Really? What does Mancini think will change in ten minutes? Aguero shook his head when he asked the official how much time was left. That says it all.

It was obvious after 20-30 minutes that Balotelli and Dzeko weren't clicking tonight. Why on motherfucking earth wait until the 80th minute to change that?????

Cue the abuse, but this one is on Mancini.

Kolarov, January can't come soon enough, please fuck off

Respectfully Chippy, De Jong was in my eyes, responsible for the second Goal. He forced Cavani to pass it wide, then went out to assist two defenders approaching whoever crossed it. He shouldn't get 6 in my eyes 4 max... Shocking decision making as Cavani had acres of space for that shot

Mancini got it wrong tonight . He likes to rotate the team but for one of your biggest games ever we have to play our best 11, Clichy and Richards would have been able to both cope with the pace that Lavezzi and Hamsik offer as well as going forward stretching their 3 man defence.

Dzeko looked terrible tonight so we take him off and Aguero can come on, if it doesnt work well at least you tried instead of waiting for the final 10mins.

Milner and Hart did well but they cant win games by themselves.

Really annoyed and would rather just get kicked out now rather than go in Europa which is such a awful competition.

 

[Slicker than Sommeil]

De Jong was shocking today, at fault for the second, giving it away trying to pass in the air.

Dzeko seemed distant and couldn't get into the game.


Balo should have had a freekick on the edge of the area, blatant foul, shocking the linesman didn't flag.


Play the reserves in Europa. I'll still go to the games though, might win it ;)

 

[Ntini77]

The worst exhibition of crossing I have ever seen.

Zab, Dzeko, Kolarov, Lescott & Kompany all had a night to forget.

On a brighter note, if we play our reserves in the Europa League (like we should do) it should make us even stronger contenders for the Premier League.

 

[tommybooth]

not that arsed about the chumps league this year. Always dissappointed when we lose but the league is the one for me this year and a better bash at the chumps league next year.

fingers crossed we can still pull it out of the fire!

 

[Duffinho]

Oh please lets stop slagging our players off this was always going to be difficult. Reality check here people we have come a long way and it disturbs me how after the great start we have had we crucify the team for 1 defeat.

Some people on here are starting to behave like rags!!!


*Applauds team and fans in napoli i hope you all get home safely*
