The Carlos standing ovation

[blueplan]

We have to be careful that Tevez does not milk it too much.
'tis voice of reason

Tactics that require the individual brilliance of a single player or two to win the game for you are prone to failure due to lack of luck. Carlos isn't going to convert every single opportunity that comes his way and we should have different answers for it with the amount we have invested in our squad.

A lesser squad than this had no problem banging in 3 or 4 in games last season under what alot of people considered an inferior manager. Granted our D might have been shit but we've now gone totally 180 degrees the other way where we don't look like we'll concede but even worse don't look like we'll score. We need to take those chances where we can convert 2 or 3 a game but may make a mistake and let 1 in instead of acting like giving up a goal is the absolute worst mistake we could make.

When a team is solely reliant on one individual to score it made that individual indispensable.
A tactic that helps the opponents successfully to key in on that individual. The scums and now the brummies.
By letting Tevez shoehorning our offensive (lone striker) strategy & who to play alongside him is and will be a grave mistake!

Now I can understand Fergie and his cow theory and why he was reluctant to sign him up!

should tell Mancini an awful lot.

Obviously everyone is gonna stand and clap when Carlos goes off.. I presume you mean the dicks who were booing..?

yeah, that most City "fans" are ungrateful morons

Are you a journo..?

I only come on here occasionally because it's good to hear fellow blues have natter/moan/rant,celebrate etc.But when you get a City fan ,on this thread ,calling Tevez an "arsewipe" I despair! He's one of the few world class players we've had for a long time and, ok, not one of his better games but he NEVER lacks effort. I've been watching City for 50 years now so i guess i'm an old fart. But 'Arsewipe?, is this the new generation of City Fans? God help us.

Without RM's negativity we could be top of the league.

Football isn't as simplistic as you would like to believe.

Who was the more adventurous side between Barcelona and Inter last season?

It was clearly a last gasp desperate plea to stick up for Mancini.

I'll be honest with you, this forum proves what I have been saying for many years, and that is that we have the thickest set of supporters in the country.

So some of you think Tevez played well enough to deserve a standing ovation?? It was his least effective match for around a year, I'd say. No lack of effort as usual but his touch was poor, his passing off-beam and his shooting wayward.

Agreed he did not have one of his better games, however still the only player likely to nick a goal for us.
