Sevilla v City post match thread

[city saint]

to be where we are with all the injuries weve had is nothing short of magnificent

Quality AND hard work! Unbeatable combination.

Everyone apart from Kolarov was class who got beat virtually every time someone took him on.

I hope Pellers realises we must play Fernandinho & Fernando in the KO stages. We can't drop one to have Silva & Toure in the side, midfield will get bossed.

If it comes to it, I would play Merlin ahead of Yaya in that formation.

Definitely between Raheem and Dinho for MotM.

Dinho for me.

Great result and super performance, but what a terrible kit! I have read it is lime green (could not tell on my b+w TV) in fact could not tell who was who for most of the match, why not play in the dark purple?

 

[burning blue soul]

I'm sure they'll say pelle just stumbled into that formation.
Who was right to drop kev.

yep, just said it mate!! scholes is a wanker!

Loved the banter with Delph at the end

That's the first time we've ever played Yaya and Fernandinho in front of Fernando, but the commentators were oblivious to it. They kept referring to Fernandinho as a holding midfielder, and Yaya as a number ten. They are ignorant as fuck. It was a perfect, subtle change from Pellegrini. We've played those three together many times before but EVERY other time, Yaya was advanced with Fernandinho level with Fernando. This doesn't work. Yaya can't play as a number 10. We lose Fernandinho's high press, as Yaya offers none of that. Also, with Yaya too high, we lose a vital link in transition from defence to attack. We need Yaya deep enough to dictate. And this set up allows Fernando to play his best position. This could be our turning point in Europe if Pellegrini remembers this specific tweak on the three man midfield.

Crucial adjustment by Pellers.

Clearly the best system for Europe. Agüero and KdB fit in, Silva doesn't...
