Swop Spanish Dave for KDB, Gundo, Foden or Mahrez, what the dirrerence?

Confidence, that's the missing item , not Spanish Dave.

Quite a lot, Spanish Dave looked to plat Sterling in behind and laid on inch perfect passes. The others you mention are great players but look to play different passes and in different areas of the pitch. Sterling, even at his best is quite one dimensional.

That's a great question. Who would you drop from a false 9 formation to go with Torres as a number 9? Possibly Gundog.?

Gundogan will be the first name on the teamsheet, unless very seriously injured and Torres won't start as a 9 as long as Foden, De Bruyne and Mahrez are available even if he scores hat tricks in the next 2 games. At best it pushes him up the ranking on the bench.

Eric Garcia is complete shite. It has to be said. Can't be a coincidence that all the defenders around him turn to complete shite as soon as he is playing.

It has to be said your opinion doesn't coincide with that of Pep, Luis Enrique,Spain's Senior manager, Barcelona or his fellow City players. For a 20 year old CB who is only 6 ft. he has shown a lot of character to get where he has. He is still a City player and deserves a more intelligent appraisal than being ignorantly referred to as "complete shite" , a term more suited to refer to your well thought out post.

So do the players I mentioned, Sterling is having a confidence crisis, nothing more.

Sterling’s problems are all up top, if he thinks what to do he often cocks up. What he needs is a sports psychologist to sort him out.

Totally agree, when he has time to think his is dangerous, but also his ball striking technic for a pro footballer is appalling.
 
I am a masochist - I read the comments after reports about City on the media web sites.
It really is amusing to see the number of trolls from overseas venting their stupid comments. I wonder if their motivation is driven by the fact that they spent their hard earned money on the wrong coloured shirts and cannot afford to "lose face' with their peers by buying a SKY BLUE SHIRT..

Really enjoyed that football tonight and Newcastle played their part too. What a goal that was very special indeed.

Me too. The match day thread (which for me is read only) was exceedingly good as well, for a dead rubber, packed with full-on flap and get rid stuff. I especially liked the guy who felt compelled to tell us all he had a top job in Edinburgh, £2m in investments and a £1m house to rebut an accusation he was thick.

You couldn't make some of this up. Long may it continue to be a source of merry entertainment.

Btw if you don't know Edinburgh I can tell you £1m might get you less house than you might think.
 
Said it before and will say it again… Sterling has no first touch, no decision-making in front of goal, runs down blind alleys, can’t pass, and tonight was mugged for pace by a young Newcastle lad (when I thought his speed was one of his last redeeming features).

He has not only not progressed this season, but he has regressed!

Yes, he can occasionally cut in an put a curler in at the far post. Got it! Cancelo can do that, too!!!

Sterling loses the ball too often, doesn’t take the chances he makes or others make for him, unless it’s almost too hard to miss….and he has even missed a few of those!

He CAN be a decent player. I know because we have seen it! However, it has been so long since I have seen him string together a few decent games it is difficult to know anything positive to say about his game right now.

I hope he can turn it around. Pep is certainly giving him the opportunity, but so far he hasn’t taken it. Fingers crossed…for Raheem and City!

Don't know on that one, always thought you needed qualifying matches, following article say's Klopp last year literally gave Lonergan one. Can Carson get one being a loanee ?

Scott Carson starts for Man City but Klopp resisted Guardiola decision

Pep Guardiola handed former Liverpool goalkeeper Scott Carson his Man City debut against Newcastle on Friday night

I think you used to have to play 5 games to qualify for one, but I think City can pay for more, which I think they do.
