Negredo

EVERY single striker that's ever played the game goes through spells where they can't hit a barn door and generally look shite. It's a confidence position; when you're full of it the goals fly in from everywhere and the Beast has proven that he can score goals. Once his confidence and touch returns, voila! so will the goals. Doesn't help that he's carried an injury for a bit.

True

And I think Dzeko and Negredo and Jovetic would look twice as good alongside Aguero

When you have 75% of the ball as we did yesterday, but you have a 10 man defence behind the ball, you need a player to make little runs off the central striker. That man is Aguero

The minute Aguero returns, Negredo and Dzeko will spark back into life

The other way around dealing with it, is to play one of them centrally, and then put an extra man in midfield and get Yaya, or Nasri bombing forward

Agree entirely , against teams like Stoke it would make sense to play that extra midfielder, so yesterday just play Navas for Negrado/Dzeko and push Nasri and Silva more central. That said if Dzeko had knocked a second in we would probably think otherwise.

At the end of yesterday the 3pts was all that mattered, it was like Crystal Palace all over again.

You can tell the season is ramping up. The pressure is mounting, as there's no room for mistakes. But we dealt with it

And with just Nastasic out we're in the best shape we've been in for some while. Crucial win.

So with Jovetic injured again and Aguero recovering from injury (who probably won't be fully match fit till Wigan in FA cup) and Negredo and Dzeko out of form and they also can't play together, we are effectively screwed for the Capital Cup Final.

Are you fishing or just stupid?
 
It's my fault the second I put him in my dream team it was all over for him and I've got previous my last brainwave was to replace hart with Lloris the day before we put 6 passed him dohh,
 
A cameo from Sergio in the final will give the whole team a lift. Win the cup and it will put a spring in the step of all the players as well. The Wigan game should hopefully give the strikers a chance to rediscover their scoring touch as well, all of which will set us up nicely for the run in.
 
He's had to sacrifice his normal positions on the pitch to accommodate Dzeko and this has affected his goal scoring opportunities. Can't wait to see Aguero back and normal service resumed.
 
I'd like to have Negredo back. This doppelgänger who has been playing in his place for the last few weeks is pretty poor.
 
For all we praise the lad and he is great don't get me wrong but in the league where it really counts he's only on 9 and only two ahead of dzeko.
 
After watching the Stoke game again i realised Negredo wasn't that bad. He made a few smart 1-2's with Silva and Nasri and tracked back when needed. Just didn't get any luck in front as no space were available.

I've managed to do what centre halves all over the country have been trying to do for a few months, stop Suarez from scoring. Piece of cake, sign him for my dream team (and I also got rid of Giroud for Adebayour at the weekend)

Transfer windows closed or they'd all be in this weekend.

It can't be much fun playing with a dislocated shoulder, because thats what I think he suffered away at West Ham in the league Cup.

The more I 've watched him since his return, the more I've spotted what my dad's reaction was to his dislocated shoulder

My dad, 1971, still a relatively young man (English teacher) in his mid 30's .. active hill walker and swimmer.

... trips over a floor mat at school and crashes into a heavy wooden door... result: dislocated shoulder.

.. Ambulance .. paramedics help him 'relocate' shoulder (bloody painful for a sec , by his account)

Some (short) time in hospital as no 'medical' complications...

But that's it, innit..

no 'medical' complications.... but if AN did dislocate his shoulder .. his professional return is not , qualitatively, the same as my dad's....

As an English teacher,you are not constantly throwing your body on the line ...

IMHO, if AN is not firing on all the scintillating cylinders, that he was doing earlier this season.. this may be a line of investigation...

Rock climbers who have had falls resulting in injury often report the usefulness of cognitive behavioural tactics such as 'black-boxing, visualisation , re-framing etc...

The beast is a fantastic signing for us .. he deserves a fully rounded assessment of his neeeds as an athlete.. and these may cover the affective dimensions of injury for young sportsmen..
 
Not sure if anybody has seen it but his opinion on the beast chant here:
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/367760/Beast-not-boos-Man-City-ace-Alvaro-Negredo-has-to-explain-fans-chant-to-bemused-family" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/footba ... sed-family</a>

He says in it he even thought it was boos at first and all his family think it's boos until he explains what it is to them
