Negredo

[super_city_si]

Showed some nice touches last night. He's clearly out of form or knackered. I think this season was tough on him but he has shown he certainly has the ability to play at this level.

I'd call his season now barring injuries to other strikers and hope to see him back firing on all cylinders next season.

showed some good touches but never seems to get himself in right postions for Goal Scoring Opportunities these days..

He needs another kick up his ass. One, although it won that penalty, was not enough.

On a serious note though, it looks as if he himself puts so much pressure on scoring and breaking this bad joss, it's like catch 22. And because he will most likely stay (and Dzeko will most likely leave), he will be an important factor in games when Aguero's runs don't work.

i don't think he did too bad last night, when he gets that 1 goal he'll be fine next season. Really hate when people massively overreact because of the result of the match, Negredo didn't play that bad last night.

If we can get Aguero and Jovetic fit we'd only need one of Dzeko/Negredo.

Season 2011-12
Aguero 31 games (3) bench
Dzeko 16 (15)
Balotelli 14 (9)
Tevez 7 (6)

Even in the unlikely event that we can have three fully fit for the entire season, given our commitments I still think we'll require four.

Haven't we just offered Edin a new contract?

No, only Sun had an article about that that we will offer a contract to him. Dont think we will, and this is the last time we can get some good fee for him.

I watched him from the start last night, and although he had some 'nice' touches, his all round attacking play was shockingly bad. I didn't see him make a meaningful run. If Dzeko put that performance in then this board would probably go down. I don't know what's wrong with the bloke, but someone needs to take him to one side and fucking bollock him.

Completley agree.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

It's quite mystifying as to how he has gone so far the other way to what he was. There was a clear expectation that at sometime or other during games he would score. Now, I'm just wishing and praying for anything to go in that he has had a foot or a head on!

But at this point we're playing with one striker more often than two, so no reason to have four, unless we have two who's overly confident even if left out of squad several times.
