Porto v City In Match Discussion thread

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Christ sakeeeee!
Some people in here need to click that little X button in the top right corner of the screen and resume with football manager.

to be fair they could be on a mac

Very good.

Just got here, are we slagging off the fullback choice and sacking Mancini yet?

No, just Mancini and random assorted players depending on whom the poster randomly decided they hated because that player is obviously our weak link. Did have a funny time with a couple dozen posts about Mancini's European record. Basically, we've been a bit chaotic as to whom to blame since we aren't playing one of the usual "It's all his fault!" guys.

Because he isn't on the pitch.

I'm sure that he is completely our saviour though, or will be heralded as such in the next twenty minutes before he turns in another disappointing performance

Nobody has despised Dzeko yet .....

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.

Is that a joke?

If he would get over HIMSELF - it would be 1:1 right now.

Fucking show-off.

I unfortunately, after tonight (regardless of the score) have this feeling...

that Mancini will never get City a significant trophy.

I think he is way over his head with this. Constant shuffling of 4-5 players in an out of the squad...I think it's not working.

With the amount of TALENT on this team - he has no excuse for not bagging in a major silverware this year.

If he doesnt no doubt in my mind next year City needs a new manager.

Are you pissed off cos Dzeko aint playing?

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.

By the sounds of it, you could do with even half of that...

Upset to see City down but Hart hasn't had much to do. One bad piece of defending and we're down. Sucks but if happens often and I can't truly criticize the defense.

I think Nasri and NDJ have done well. Silva hasn't been totally up to it but still seems alive, and I think Toure's in an odd position. Mario hasn't had many chances with his feet...his one free on goal didn't really bounce right for him. Crosses have looked well from both Richards and Clichy. IMO, Richards has been our MOTM. I'd like to see them get up more, and I'd like to see Nasri running with the ball more. That was what he did at Arsenal. Sure, Kun seems like a rational choice but I think Dzeko could be more useful with his size for a header. Pizarro's passing could be nice if he can bea the press.

Everyone on about Hazard or this and that need to drop it...Mancini's not going to buy much when he's got Guidetti as a secret weapon and still has to sell the likes of Adebayor, Santa Cruz, and Tevez.

Porto are a good team, we seem to be getting ridiculously hard draws in every cup this year.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.euroclubindex.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.euroclubindex.com/</a>

Is it three years or something when they last got beat at home - or is that just in Europe?
