Porto v City In Match Discussion thread

[PaleBlue]

I'd take a 1-1 against the holders right now. Rags play a club 6th in the Eurodivisie and a routine win generates a typical wank fest in the media. Arsenal lost 2-1 at Porto away then beat them 5-0 at home so all is not yet lost. Balo needs a goal or needs subbing after 60 mins.

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.

You can't be watching the same game as the rest of us?!?!
Not for real surely...

We're playing pretty well, but with the players we have out there, Nasri should push higher up the pitch like an attacker.

He wants to create, but I think we'd play even better (we're not doing badly) with the ball going through Yaya and Silva, and having Nasri as an attacking option to play to.

pizarro would piss on their pressing

You folks already know this but it's nice to be told by a neutral sometimes, the ref is properly shit. Not biased against either side, just absolute shit. Really frustrating to watch. Porto look much better than I thought they'd be, Varela always seems to do well when I see them play, much better than Hulk...

Hope we get a good pacey winger in the summer

Mancini doesn't like winger's (Bellamy ?) so i doubt we will be in for one. i really hope i am wrong though.

You are. He didn't like Bellamy. Not many people who've managed him do. He wanted a pacey winger this summer. Number one target was Alexis Sanchez. There weren't many out there.

Disgusted at their theatrics. Man up FFS!

Balotelli needs to stop running so much. He's playing as a lone striker, he's going to get tired to quick. He needs more fucking support. Making very nice runs but everyone is taking so long to deliver, hence why he's always offside. He should have finished that chance, though. Best player so far for me though.

Tell me this is a wind up...

lol that is definitely a wind up.

Yes, well I'm sure you two are part of the rational brigade on here, but anyone with more than 4 brain cells will see that this performance has been unacceptable. Almost in tears, here. My hands are shaking. I've already ripped down my Balotelli and Toure posters, and smashed my Man City mug in a rage. I'm going to be sending the club an invoice to have them replaced.

1-1 would see us through to the next round by virtue of away goals, even if it is 0-0 at Eastlands.
