Reading Vs City In Match Discussion Thread

[ali benarbia's studs]

the commentators are muppets for baconschlops..... constantly quoting the tw@t.

the ref has thrown too many cards around and has spoiled the game at times.

i mean, dean is not one for a quick whistle, he always waits to see if there's advantage

he d give them 3 mins at the swamp if they were in the oppositions corner!

Milner for Rekik and move Zaba to the left with just three at the back, simples.

that would be a nice confidence booster wouldn't it...

garcia or barry should be the one to depart

Rekik is just standing out wide in attack. I mean that's technically his job yeah, but with Nasri we would have a guy constantly moving inward and outward, combining with other players, opening up space, ect. like he always does.

I just don't think Rekik has even half his skill set? Like it looks like he can put in a cross, but isn't even making runs to get past the fullback, and he certainly doesn't want the ball in tight spaces. If Milner can play we should bring him on, because we're not even using one side of the field at the moment.

Also, perhaps Dzeko for one of Barry/Garcia. I wouldn't normally encourage a third striker over a midfielder, but do we really even need an extra player in the middle today? Dzeko could grab a scrappy goal, which is probably how we will win today.

It doesn't look like the players honestly trust him yet either. In some of the positions he's been in Clichy or Kolarov would have at least been used as an outlet a couple of times by now, yet Rekik is only receiving it when it's either pointless or it's a clearance.

No one seems to trust Rekik, hopefully Mancini tells them to pass to him as he's been in some good positions so far.

Strange game to start Yaya in the advanced role.

Reading are virtually playing a 9-0-1 formation.

I agree - can't understand the thinking, really.

I think City are missing the CM Yaya.

Can sadly see this ending as 0-0. Prove me wrong City.

Need Balotelli on :/

B-b-b-b-but; there were lots of posts on BM predicting 5, 6, 7, even 10 today?

I hate tevez's corners & free kicks.
