Kiss the badge... kiss my arse
I know generally we are a terrific outfit. And I know come a bit of warmer weather and some key players back, we will get back to our flowing best. But where could we improve on the park in a ideal world? This would be my points for improvement would be
1. A player with total electric pace
2. A class back to goal forward
3. Better tackling in the middle of the park
4. Not being so vulnerable from the ball out of the opposition defence (the ball always goes to their player)
5. A truly top passer coming out of defence.
 
we have an average goalkeeper and some poor footballer in defense , only this is the problem
 
If I could improve ONE thing, it would be our corners, we are never so vulnerable defensively as when we win a corner (and today we did mostly OK), but we far too often pass it to the first defender, who then puts the opposition on the attack. Does my head in, and has since well, hughes, sven, pearce, keegan, royle........
 
Not great at set pieces and crossing in general and a bit too eager so we get carded for silly things like Clichy today. Too many cards in general, tbh.
 
Our weaknesses are:
1. Many slow to average paced players
2. Poor crossing ability for many
3. When we have a throw-in we look like we don't know what to do
4. Not much strength in depth at centre back (compared to say centre mid)

None of these are such huge problems because we make up for them all in other ways. We play to our strengths. When we do that, more often than not, we'll come out on top as not many teams can live with them or are good enough to exploit our weaknesses.

Would like to see your suggestions considering the FFP and City tax.

1. Agree here but our players are quicker than it looks and tbh would rather someone like Johnson who has pace and ability than Walcott who just has pace.

2. Not really sure how that will benefit us but a suggestion?

3. Barry and Milner made some great challenges today and Yaya also has that in his locker.

4. Not really sure how signing a player could change this?

5. Name me a CB who would come to City without a price circa 30m and has this ability.


Every team has weaknesses, fortunately our's aren't as big and aren't having an impact.
