Post Match Thread | Juventus vs Manchester City

Could someone tell me what Pellegrini sees in Fernando. I think he's toss

And if he'd played longer and his hamstring had gone ?

And what if it hadn't?

 

[Blue>Red]

Not only did I have to endure the frustration of that, I come back on to see @Blue Smarties has been oggling at my Mum's tits in off topic.

They only need a draw at Sevilla even if City win because they have the head to head over City.

I can't see many rushing down the bookies to put money on MCFC finishing top of the group. If we had to go to Sevilla for a win, like we did at Roma, I would give shit for our chances. Juve go to Sevilla and it's one of this season's forgone conclusions

Agree about the Sevilla game but I don't buy the idea that injuries have been as big an issue as all that.

Silva is important, sure. But we signed a £49m winger and a £54m attacking mid this summer.

Aguero is important, sure. The backup striker cost £28m.

Kompany is important, sure, but we have two centre backs at a combined cost of £70m as backup.

We talk about how we have the strongest squad in the league but as soon as we have a couple of injuries many people have said "oh but we have injuries". Arsenal had 11 injured players recently, the most we've had has been 4 or 5 at a time.

Every team has injury absences throughout the season. We can't expect to be exempt from that: it is completely normal. Considering the investment and wages paid out for this squad we should be able to handle it.

Sheikh Mansour is getting taken for a ride right now. He probably thinks he could have just bought 200 solid gold Ferraris instead.

Poor guy.

SILVA is important

I

I take it it you've never played football except on a computer then. Show me a player that's never missed a chance and I'll take it back.

Show me a 50m player that, 4 months into his career at his new club, has already missed 5 seasons worth of absolute sitters.

 

[grim up north]

Agreed, Sterling comes on, could feed Aguero but no, need to nurse Sergio back, so take him off, same could go for Clichy, strange !

Clichy was probably coming off till hart got injured

He is gash. Another one who has pulled the wool over people's eyes with the odd good performance.

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

Can someone please explain to me how we look so good against Sevilla and then a mere 2 weeks later we look so abject and devoid of ideas?

 

[Shirley]

Yep. Should of kept dzeko

He will be back next season, can't see Roma paying up.
