At this moment in time,our centre back situation is really serious,against better sides with more dynamic movement were going to pay for not investing.
Don't like slating our own but Joleons best days are behind him,well and truly,new contract your having a laugh.First half against hull were no different than last season,and why do defenders get goal side in the six yard box from corners,the goal side rule does not apply here bit of common sense really.

Come on city!

Agreed.After watching Bayern v Chelsea last night we are fecking light-years off the pace.
 
Re: Were in trouble

Our defence is a shambles. Our midfield got bossed for the most part. Silva, Aguero, Dzeko, Navas all poor.

I'm worried too ...
 
Re: Were in trouble

Would help if our full backs actually block some crosses from coming in but yes, way short in quality and cover. Get away with what we have a lot in the PL but whole new level in the CL
 
Re: Were in trouble

"We are" it should be.

And I thought we won? People need to understand that smaller teams see us a scalp, 2 more minutes last week we would have won. I am not worried at least the manager a not afraid to make changes that seem to work.

I'm absolutely petrified...

People were saying the same last season. We ended playing badly and dropping a lot of points. Don't bury your head in the sand.
 
Re: Were in trouble

Half our problem is that we defend a far too high. There's a massive gap between our back line and the goalkeeper which is OK if you have mobile centre backs. Unfortunately Lescott isn't the quickest and as a result we struggle.
But at least he's better than Garcia!
Happy days, a win and 3 points
 
Re: Were in trouble

Today was an horrible horrible display. Hull fookin Tigers made us look average. Yaya lazy and poor. Others not much better.

No, no, no! Yaya ran himself ragged he was all over the pitch and attacking/defending even scoring.
 
Re: Were in trouble

Problem is midfield. City playing an attacking game without a de Jong or Barry means CB's are exposed on the break. Lack of pace and slow turning doesnt help nor does slow tracking back to help the CB's.

If Kompany doesn't recover I'm afraid rags might have a fun in derby.

Yes, this is a very big concern. Very big.

Lescott would be ok at a mid table side, he'd probably look good, but in a top side he is so horribly, horribly exposed. He looks dreadful, to be honest (not that it's all his fault, by any means - there are other factors too - but some of his play is simply atrocious).

It is going to be a very, very competitive league this season and we are going to be struggling unless we improve a lot - and quickly.
 
Re: Were in trouble

i presume there's an imminent signing on the cards.

there must be.

Rumours Demichelis is pretty much done. Atletico bringing in Alderweireld - wonder why we didn't go for him?

Exactly. All season long we got that, finished with fuck all and a demoralised squad. Need to improve sharpish or we're in trouble. We would have been destroyed by either supercup team last night and we're supposed to be in the same league as both.
