I'd have liked to see City go a little more direct. Swansea ahd loads of players behind the ball and we could have got the ball into Dzeko from AJ and Kolarov, and have mario there to pick up the pieces. We were trying to thread the eye of the needle and it wasn't working.green pennies said:Some thoughts:
Would have had AJ rather than Nasri.
Would have liked two strikers from the get go.
Would have even liked to see Pizarro on for Nige in the second half.
Also, it was always going to be a tall order with those two center backs.
Let's just hope our back line of Micah, Vinny, Joleon, and Gael is back and hard as ever (and played consistently in the Prem - sit em for Europa if you must) for the stretch run.
The offense we will figure out, and as others have said, Mancini will learn from his mistakes (we hope), but we must be sure at the back.
Whether we jump back in front, or whether we have to catch the red twats from behind, the season is far from over. Let's dismantle them at the Etihad and forget this whole messy business soon boys.
People slate Kolarov, but he's the best crosser of the ball at the club, and we needed something different
