Villa v City In match Discussion thread

We cannot play with ONE STRIKER....not in post-tevez era.

Anyone finally agrees with me?

When was the last time we played well with lone striker? When??

I think we can with Toure, or even with Milner in the centre. But with two out and out wingers (even when playing inside out) it doesn't work

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

people call tevez selfish but aguero is much worse needs to start looking up more

We havent got 2 defensive midfielders on

De Jong and Barry?

Barry is a centre midfielder.

Dont b silly labelling players like Barry this or that. He plays the role being asked and at the moment he is playing partially withdrawn and defensive.

Call me 'rag' as usual for stating my opinion, but................THREE HOLDING MIDFIELD PLAYERS YET AGAIN! Why can't lescott and kompany be relied upon to take out bent and keane on their own?

We're playing without a centre forward, yet having two wingers and an overlapping full back on the pitch. This was the problem last year too - no focal point and why we cant score.

 

[Comrade Buka]

Dzeko on for De Jong and Pizarro on for either Milner or Barry. Is Milner looking pretty laboured today?

 

[jake28]

Very worrying,lots of possession but nothing really created. Can see this as another game we dominate possession wise but drop points.

 

[Juddaman83]

Aguero delays his shot too much at times.

That's funny, I was thinking he was taking them too soon.

I'm with Ntini, always seems take one touch too many, when takes him too wide or off balance

Same old problem. too slow on the break leaving aguero no space to get free.

11 men behind the ball 100% of the time is not easy to break down.
No zip, no urgency

Aguero + Johnson need space to position and silva cannot pass through 3 villa players.

Same old problem

deflected shot will do me 1-0

 

[SWP's back]

Shite from City and Bob, no one in the box and no overlap, no pace and Milner thinks he's still playing for them.

Shite is over doing it somewhat

Think Milner's been our best player, tbh.
