It looked like Yaya can be at his best only if played in a relatively free role, he has played CDM at Barca, but does look very slow into tackles and wit him in the middle our ball winning was very slow and less effective..hopefully only a lack of fitness and effect of fasting and not sign of declineAnthony Kun said:Plain Speaking said:A better performance but some schoolboy defending for the 2 goals and some weak finishing. Frustrating we didnt win but we dominated possession and chances. At least we didnt do a blanket 11 for 11 at half time.
The MCFC commentator was poor can we not get a better one? (He doesnt seem to be a City fan.)
I agree - Poor performance overall but even poorer commentator!
He couldn't remember how many subs we'd made and then come out with a comment saying they haven't tested Panti much when he'd only been on the field 7 minutes!
Nasri and Fernandinho looked lively, and Yaya's passing was top notch too.
That was much better than the 1st friendlyoppa gangnam style said:I didnt see much improving on the first friendly.
Lot of times we get the ball back at the back Dzeko and co at the half way line and we turn into attacks way to slow like it was under Manicni.
Clearly 1 week training wont be enough to change that for Pellegrini but he has to work on it because that is crucial.
Both Supersport and Amazulu made just as money subs as we did, they wanted to give chance to their players as well, probably they are ahead of us in their pre season or are they playing league games these days?
Hopefully there will be a few wins in friendlies, not too important of course but some success feeling wont be bad surely.
Pellegrini said in the beginning it is not important but in the last 2-3 friendlies he wants to win as we are closer to the Newcastle match...

yeh, not a big fan of the high line thing.Shaelumstash said:If we play a back line that high in the PL with Kolarov and Nasti playing, we'll concede 3 a game against a team with any pace up front.
On a positive note, Nasri was exceptional in the middle, as I predicted he would be under Pelegrini. Well done me!
