Porto v City In Match Discussion thread

Would it kill Ballotelli to put in a bit more effort? Unless it's delivered on a platter for him he isn't interested.

Hes been running his bollocks off hence why he is offside. What game are you watching?.

Exactly, he makes more runs than Aguero and especially Dzeko.

We just don't pass it quickly enough to him, but when we do (Nasri's pass), good things happen.

Also, he's playing as a lone striker. It would be quite stupid to have him pressing and chasing when he should be conserving his energy for runs and staying in good positions as he is the only out ball (lone striker).

Christ on a bike, some of you lot don't have make me laugh. You're 1-0 down to the reigning champions away from home yet you have had 2 or 3 good chances and just failed to put them away. 60% possession i think as well.

You're playing well. Unfortunate that you're behind, but some of you think you're playing Walsall away and have the divine right to wonder why you aren't 5-0 up!

This is far from over. And you are NOT playing shit!

Possession counts for fuck all. Arsenal had 48% last night!

 

[Andouble]

Yeah, we just need an away goal and we should be fine.

Just don't concede any more, mmmkay?

i'd like our chances even if we lose 2-1.

Is Balotelli going for the record number of offsides in a game?

Little pea currently holds that record with an average 237 offsides per game.

Benjani and Adebayor are close front runners with an average of around 220 offsides per games.

At least Benji always had a smile on his face so you couldn't stay mad at him for long.

1-0 wouldn't be bad because Porto are not as good away, they lost to Zenit and APOEL in the Champions League away.

Lack of pace, especially in midfield is pretty evident again. Need to get more bodies in the box when attacking too, no good only have one option when the ball is crossed in to the area.

Quite an even game. City certainly not out of it. Our form during midweek games this season has been poor. I don't know if it's just because we seem to have played tougher games during the week but we have lost to bayern, Napoli, Chelsea and behind here. Positive signs from the way we have played since the goal. I think we can turn it round.

He's not used to staying up this late.

Cant really connect this team and the one that destroyed united few months ago!

Mancini has lost compass, and I think that he is the only one who understand his moves!

 

[Bozo]

What a complete joke, this performance is an absolute disgrace, I was honestly nearly physically sick when they scored, I've actually got a bucket next to me now in the case that they score again. Mancini is a joke of a human being, and I hate all of our players. Should bring back hanging for performances like this. A disgrace. An absolute disgrace.
