Stoke Vs City Post Match Discussion Thread

[Berkovic_blue]

I'm not comparing Pellers to Mancini. You said it was a disgrace droping Aguero,Navas,Dzeko and Fernandinho when neither and I mean neither of them have had a good start to the season. Aguero has been greedy and gives the ball away to often deserves to be dropped. Dzeko at times has looked like the Dzeko under Mancini. Navas hasn't shown anything he's supposed to be lightning fast but i've not seen anything yet. Fernandinho hasn't shown anything yet either. Rodwell deserves his game time, Milner also deserves to play as does Negredo who should have 3 in 3 goal wise. Hopefully dropping Aguero,Dzeko,Navas & Fernandinho will give them a kick up the ass although I wouldn't say they were dropped Pellers has Tuesday in mind.

So they are all shit after 4 games then ?

Hahahahaha where did I say they were shit? Said they deserve to be dropped if they have been dropped. You clearly think Pellers is shit after 4 games tho don't u?

And there's the knockout blow!

Everything you've said is spot on tbh, flb must be pissed

Cant agree there mate, Dzeko was poor against Hull and subbed at half time, hence Negredo starting today, as for Nasri......

The point in making mate is Manuel openly praises Edin and then drops him like a piece of worthless shit. He burst the net v Cardiff only to get the hook for daring to be under par in the first half against Hull. All I here is how good Pellagrini is on man management, where's the evidence of this fabled nonsense ?

Fair point but Negredo deserved his start after coming off the bench twice and scoring both times, he may also have Tuesday in mind.

Aguero should be dropped and not Edin, Yaya seem undropable regardless of how he plays and I'm sorry but playing a Spanish midfielder in defense over Lescott just isn't right mate, I'm all for giving Manuel a chance but he's getting so many basic things wrong its a real worry.

Poor very poor, irrespective of whether you are a Mancini inner or outer there can be no denying that the last 3 performances have been abysmal, taking us back to the days of clueless Hughes, whose team totally outplayed us. There Is not a single sign of improvement on the Mancini era in fact we look far worse. Bluemoon posters explained the problem after the Cardiff game but lessons have not been learned and worringly we are seeming to get worse with every game.
The staunch outers are understandably very quiet tonight and will no doubt come up with some suitably houlistic excuses.
Is it tactics, team selection or lack of effort from the players? The reality looks like it is all three.
Is it back to the days of lets get 40 points ?
Sad days in deed.
Still we retain our crown for shooting ourselves in the foot and for snatching failure from the jaws of success.

[Italian Manc]

Think our owners have droped a bollock appointing this Pellers bloke as manager

The feeling is starting to creep in but it's early days yet. Hope he can pick it up sooner rather than later.

No leadership from the back when VK is out, said it all last season, should have bought someone of VK's ilk to play alongside him then when one is out we still have the other.

 

[Mountaineer]

Starting to think that who the manager is isn't even that important, and that the problem is that this particular group of players just aren't a real team together. Chemistry seems non-existent.

 

[Armaan]

Not impressed so far. We look at totally different side without kompany and tevez. There's no drive at the moment. Im worried that with Pellers mild disposition he wont be able fire up our superstars. We need a leader fast on our rudderless ship.

We lack that real quality in midfield. You won't get to that next level with players like Milner/Garcia, we needed to buy a world class CM in the summer but sadly we didn't. Our attack is world class but the support is so shit it's ridiculous considering the players we have.

 

[kinkladz-ade]

Its been only 4 games and we have to give Pelly a fair chance but have to say im not convinced by anything i have seen so far.
He got the tactics wrong in all 4 games. The only reason we have won two of the games is because Newcastle were useless and Hull didnt put away their chances.
What also upsets me is that he got rid of Barry without giving him a chance. The same Barry who was the best player on the pitch today for Everton and helped them beat Chelsea.

What did Pellegrini get wrong today?

Barry is a good passer, but past his best

 

[christened at st marks]

Letting Barry go to Everton was the worst decision I've seen in years, I'm starting to struggle to find anything about the club I fell in love with 50 years ago, anybody knowing me would not beleive what I've just written, the treatment of Barry, I think of Nelly, Micky Doyle the King and cringe at some of these players but rrrrrr fuk it.

Before you all criticise too much consider that City have lost Kompany, Demichelis, Richards and Clichy. That is our best back 4!!!

We've got through a difficult fixture when we were very much weakened.

I think we will now start to move forward

We've lost four defenders and kept a clean sheet, but we offered fuck all in attack and only missed Silva. What the hell has gone wrong up front? And why hasn't it been solved as we were far worse up front last season compared to the previous one than we were at the back. - We only conceded five more but scored twenty seven fewer and I saw nothing today that suggests we've even attempted to sort it out. Would Tevez and Mario been any worse?

 

[Mountaineer]

No creativity

Yep. We create fuck all for our strikers, people were banging on about Negredo being the missing piece of the jigsaw and how many he'll score but he's gonna have the same problem Dzeko had, fuck all support.

Most City fans still don't realize this fact. They keep blaming the strikers, but they don't ask themselves why City creates only like 2 real chances in the entire half, while the other tops teams create chances every 5 minutes.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

tbh it just looks like the players cant be arsed

There's more than enough change there to explain the problems.

That was Jovetic's first start of the season. He missed a bit of pre-season. It was Negredo's first start too. And Rodwell. Then you've got all the defensive changes. If you want to look for excuses, you really don't have to look very far.

Newcastle at home certainly seams a distant memory..
