Scunthorpe Utd v Manchester City |24th Jan 10| Match Thread

Robbie's affected by the crowd, who are singing what a waste of money louder than cheering their own team's goal. Sad.

I have to ask though, do either of the lino's know the offside rule??

Scunthorpe haven't been the better team KK, lmao.

on the ball Robinho has been fantastic, it's his finishing that is lacking. If he stays, it'd be great if he just got an easy tap-in because I feel if that happened then goals would start pouring in from him

I'm sorry, I thought this was a City forum, where we are supposed to get behind the team?? My mistake obviously

Yes, The players all look at Bluemoon at half time, so it's imprtant to get behind them on this thread.

I'm not getting involved in whether Robinho is having a good game or not but what has happened to his shooting? They are passbacks. Where's the power gone?

Good god i hate playing these matches where its like a cup final to these shitey wee teams. To be fair to Scunny, they took advantage of our lack of pace at the back and the high defensive line. They look dangerous on the break and from set pieces. Benjani really frustrates me, because i just don't know his purpose. Is he a target man? Or does like running on to the ball? He hasn't done either today. Robinho has at least worked slightly harder but he looks so low on confidence, he needs a goal. Midfield has been non- existent at times but Ibrahim looks like a real talent. What shit fans, is "what a waste of money" the best they can do? Their almost worse than the rags. Glad we got the second goal and lets hope we can do them in the second half.

I really hope he starts the 2nd leg. We need his creativity

Are you two watching the same game, Ireland looks like he isn't even trying, and he's been like that all season when he's been fit. I could be very wrong, but I've heard the odd whisper that his head's been turned ever since the Arse and the shite-hawks apparently made enquiries last summer.

I'm with the first two Ireland's made some excellent through balls.

Robinho has been as good as our bet player. His touch is masterfull. The back flick in the air to set up the counter late on was unbelievable. Yes he has missed the chances he has created himself. Oh no. Boooo.

nail on head!

we know benj is shit robbie isnt so whats with all the lame shooting?

low confidence is all...a goal will be all he needs.

agree with you mate but i just cant see him scoring.

i really do hope he proves me wrong 2nd half.
