Stoke Vs City Post Match Discussion Thread

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Too much kneejerk, we will be lifting the trophy come the end of the season.

I keep telling myself that, but game by game, my belief and certainly my enjoyment is eroding.

Dull 0-0 against Stoke at their place with our second string (Yaya and Jo and maybe Zabba excluded) with a couple of injuries in key positions to boot. It was obviously a side to enable us to field our strongest 11 in the CL in midweek. Dzeko and Aguerro, Silva, Clichy, Lescott maybe (please god let VInny be fit soon) all to come back in. We were poor but im not going to point the finger at individuals, Garcia did OK for a stand in centre half despite being a walking target for the boo boys. Collectively we were poor.
I'll take it but we need to improve because at the mo its not good enough. We are not showing nearly enough. Bias of commentators from that cock-knocker Merson on Sky to written commentaries on fox Sports pages was to say the least partizan at most it was shockingly anti City and Im not an agenda member!
Although the Rags were shite earlier against Palace we better play better than that next week!

An OK result with luck on our side.

Amazing to see a makeshift CB getting slammed after a 0-0 while our attacking players are completely free of criticism.

No goals. Clean sheet. MUST BE GARCIA AND KOLAROV TO BLAME.

I didn't think Nastasić had a very good game today.

Some of his decision-making was poor and he very nearly, but for a cracking save from Joe, scored a spectacular own-goal.

I now to some on here he is the golden boy and shouldn't be critcised in any way, shape or form, but in my mind, he still has a lot to learn.

I certainly don't ink he was any better than Garcia, but of course Javi is the Bluemoon boo-boy.

I will temper this by saying the stream we watched the match on wasn't the best, so maybe I didn't see it as well as I could have.

Let's hope it's Kompany and Lescott on Tuesday.

Oh dear. I had a bet the other week that we would finish in the top two. With each game my confidence I'll win that bet diminishes. Totally disjointed team and can somebody please ask Pellers not to play Garcia as a center back. Heart in mouth defending.

Garcia was very good today. Stop listening to the biased commentator. He read every play well and intercepted 3 balls. Was quick to harras the forward, and gave up a professional foul before anything developed.

Rather than complimenting these intelligent decisions, the dumb commentary guy kept whinning about him not being comfortable, and acting like a midfielder. Total bullshit. Had 3 solid interceptions, and closed down his man quickly. Made a mistake after correctly reading a pass and intercepting it, but tried to clear a ball under his foot quickly and bubbled it. Only mistake of the game. Yet, the commentator whined all game, and so did many on here.


He is a solid player.

I watched the russian ace stream so wasn't biased by the commentary. He didn't look comfortable to me at all. Especially when receiving the ball under pressure. On two occasions it could have lead to a goal.

I know we're a work in progress I just don't get what style of play Pellegrini wants? What system is it that the players need to get used to???

I just saw many shitty long balls under-hit or over-hit.

If Stoke had a better finisher it could have been 4-0.

Oh and Nasri is a complete shitbag!

Missing Tevez ,but he didn't want to stay. Pity.

On the brightside Tevez City fucked off

Lose/Win situation really

 

[ACMilan]

In the pregame they said Pellegrini had never won a major trophy

Is that true? No league, nothing?

How is this piece of trash still around?

wtf?
Milan lost to a freshly promoted team.
we have what I consider, to be one of the WORST coaches for any top team... I want him gone more than anything on earth

I was seriously asking. Pelle came with really high accolades.. I had assumed he had won something.

 

[bondsman]

Apparently the Mancini song was being called out by the fans-is this true?

If it is I would not be suprised.

If so that's an utter fucking disgrace Mancini never won at Stoke in fact we never played well against Stoke with him either.

We arseholed stoke at home under Mancini and beat them away in fa cup

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Well well well..sat on bus and the majority yes the majority are now saying what we have just witnessed was utter garbage that was and there is zero difference to last season..

Fuck this holistic shit..the club have majorly fucked up..

Come on shears lets be hearing your..its a good point bollocks..sorry but its anything but that..
