West Brom Vs City In Match Discussion Thread

[1961_vintage]

Played well first half apart from that stupid error from Vinny which led to Milner's sending off. We were in totlal control up until then and for much of the game after it too. Much as I despise Clattenburg, he got the decision correct as he has with most of the other decisions it's the way he hogs the spotlight that bugs me ! We've created some really good chances, Mario, Tevez, Barry, Nasri could all have scored. We're tending to give some silly free kicks awayand perhaps we might have to sacrifice a striker for more legs in midfield as they are starting to get to much time to line up shots. Mario is walking a tightrope and looks 50-50 for a red so I would take him off if I were Mancini although some his play this half has been superb.

Woah-woah-woah!!! Get this well-balanced, accurate and insightful summary off of here. There's no place for it within the in-match discussion hysterics!!

Commentator has it in for Mario here...


"Makes my blood boil".


Not exactly the first time a player has gone down from contact.

I've just watched Chris Kirkland going down like a sack of shit after a little push from a fan, so I don't know why the commentator is picking on Mario (unless it's because he hasn't got an original thought in his head).

I always watch with foreign commentary, it's MUCH better and more enjoyable.

Although Balotelli has looked dangerous, Mancini needs to bring him off, it's too much of a risk!
Kolarov coming on playing slightly ahead of Clichy wouldn't be a bad shout.
That or Dzeko on with Tevez dropping deeper.
I'd save Aguero for a bit later.

id bring aguero on for balotelli.

drop tevez deeper.

bring zaba on for nasri and put him in midfield.

Hart
Richards Kompany Lescott Clichy

Zabs Yaya Barry

Tevez
Aguero

This is all going very wrong - Milner being sent-off, thanks to Vinny's mistake, means that Yaya has had to sit next to Barry for twenty-five minutes. Yaya can only really have a big impact on the game if he's allowed to move forward but we've got no CMs on the bench to allow him to do that. It would be smart to put Zabaleta on for Balotelli and move Zabaleta into CM to accompany Barry and Toure - or go to a back five.

I said I'd take a draw and that first-half performance has given me more reasons to feel that way.

Or Micah into midfield and Zab at right back ?

I don't think Joe had the ball in his hands once ,until the sending off. Mario hasn't had a bad game up until now and i don't think that last free kick he gave away was even a foul, but every albion player will wind him up this half. He needs to be replaced. A last minute winner from Edin coming.

The commentator said he hates to see PLAYERS do that, go down and fake an injury, which Mario did.

He didn't 'pick' on Mario, and seeing as it was Mario who did it, why would he bring up anyone else?

Precious bunch on here.

The people whining on here because some want Balotelli subbed need to get a grip. He will be sent off if he repeats his first half performance. This isn't a witch hunt, it's wanting the best possible result for our team.

Id go with that, it would also give Yaya a chance to get forward more.

After replay from goal angel, I admit no ballcontact from Milner.

I admit the risk with Ballo, but he made most of the attempts to score. Tevez have done very little.

I say Dzeko in instead of either Ballo or Tevez.

Can't believe mario has come back out.
