Re: Gael Clichy
I'm with you on that. Zaba was exactly the same and put in a far worse effort to get back than Clichy did for the goal about 3 minutes earlier, but nothing came of it. Both fullbacks put in a hell of a shift and were just knackered by the end. The only slight criticism I have is of that awful cross when clear through and with all the time in the world. Just didn't make his mind up, far too indecisive, which is one of his major problems with the ball.pudge said:Thought he played well
Was dead on his feet by the end, not to mention having to deal with Sanchez and Alves all by himself for the most part.

I thought he defended well almost all night. He was against top, top quality players and I didn't see Kolarov helping out much. He just stood there when they were attacking.

Re: Gael Clichy
Strange isn't it. Supposed to be on his prime, but had his only good season in 2011-12 with City. Sell him in the summer, if someone wants him. Doubt there will be queue because he is 30 years old next summer and two shit seasons under his belt.neel said:Whats happened to him????
Re: Gael Clichy
In fairness to Clichy and the other full backs it's probably the hardest position to play now. Especially for City. You are expected to provide width when we are attacking and solidity when defending. It's too much. If we persist in playing 4-4-2 then we should tell the full backs not to go forward. I've a feeling we are crucifying our defenders at the moment for what is basically the managers tactical errors.

At fault for both goals yesterday, he's hugely regressed, clear now that we need an upgrade.

1st Half he was Citys best player and ran his nuts off, not really his biggest fan but credit were it is due.
