Post Match: City vs Newcastle

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

For me that's our 'best 11' and it's interesting with that set of players on the pitch at the same time we wiped the floor with Newcastle. Cant remember the last time we had our best 11 out there all properly fit and raring to go.

I've never seen Dzeko play as well as that. His goal was fucking superb, his overall play was outstanding and his workrate was unreal. Does my head in cos we know he's capable of this but usually doesn't produce, but well done today son.

Toure's presence is key to this team. He totally dictates the game and is like the biggest lion in the jungle. Nobody fucks with him. Vital player.

Thought MP handled the substitutions very well to.

We looked today like we did in our pomp last year. Long may it continue.

Swap Clichy for Kolarov and I would say it is a candidate for our best 11 pre Bony, who may or may not prove that he is better than Edin. The bigger question is are we at our best with Dzeko or Silva "supporting" Aguero? I think the answer depends on who the opposition are. What is hard to deny is that we have not been in a position to field today's starting line-up with all those players fit and in form many times this season or that if those 11 starters play well, they are very likely to beat whoever they meet in the remaining league games.

It's a tricky one the Clichy/Kolorov one. Clichy has been very good the last few months and is clearly a better defender. However, I think Kolorov is worth the risk for the rest of the season with the exception of maybe 2/3 games. His corners are much better (we actually looked dangerous from corners today) and if Dzeko/Bony play then he is worth the gamble for me.

Haha, there is a distinct lack of negativity.

Dzeko's passing went a bit astray towards the end

You forgot the weather. Even the bloody penguins had jumpers on today. I'm just thawing out now, though the feet are still a bit numb.

Jim, you need to get over for matches more often if this is going to be the kind of result we get.

We normally lose or draw when he is over

Another solid performance today from Mangala also.
World class save from cisse's deflected volley too by joe.

Excellent day all round with results going our way too. Good to get a clean sheet too. Cant wait to play them cunts next sunday now, bring them on, pretty confident after today. Genuinely think we have a realistic chance of knicking it there so we'll be breathing down the chavs necks

Comon city!

I thought this was particularly funny

City are strange. They are playing their best players Silva and Aguero in their proper positions. They have a LB at LB and a RB at RB. They also have midfielders in midfield. Odd !

I thought we were brilliant today, some of our play was exceptional. Lovely fasted paced pass and move stuff that we've lacked recently.
