West Brom Vs City Post Match Discussion Thread

[WestGorton]

Dont expect to win every game but i was merely pointing out the fookin obvious - i aint slagged the players or Mancini thrown my toys out of the pram or behaving like a slapped arse byt my points are valid

it dod not work today but we did not seem to be able to change it

"Play AJ or sell" is the height of Widow Twankeyness. We are top. End of story. Yes we should have won but we didn't lose also. Marathon not a sprint.

bollocks its an opinion simple as that - the game was screaming out for a wide player today because trying to pass through them was not working and 20 minutes was not long enough for him to make an impact. Its clear that Mancini does not quite think he is there yet -fair enough so buy somebody who is somebody who can inject some speed and pace into the game - sometimes you cant pass the ball into the net sometimes a more direct approach is required.

Sunderland away is likely yo be similar a game we must win because it is inconcievable that Blackburn will get a draw or a win at the swamp.

AJ i one of my favorite players so dont want him sold personally i would have started him over Nasri today and i think he would have made a difference today

We scored a good goal today that was ruled out. Yes; an argument for Johnson to start but he is being saved for his hometown club. Sunderland. Expect Nasri on the bench, or even Silva for that game.

The team that finishes top in May wins. Not now.

It's not good enough...I'm going to start booing!!!

We're supposed to be winning every game we play 10-0!

We've blown any chance of getting 110 points!

We should have the top 4 golascorers in the league!

Some would be happy with a position at the top of the league...but not me...I demand more!

Mancini out...sell Silva he's a passenger...Aguero...he's a slight improvement on Corradi...don't get me started on Nasri. Time for an overhaul...I wonder if celtic would entertain a Samaras swap deal?

Vinnie on FB:

I can't say I'm happy with the result but I have to give credit to a great West Brom defensive display today. We will just have to learn out of this game and grow to become even stronger. A big thank you to our supporters who made the trip today, they were great as usual.

Sergio on Twitter:

Quite a tough game today. They huddled on the back and try as we might we couldn't find a gap.

Onwards & upwards.

Anyone else seem to notice the we NEED to score in the first 20 mins or so??? I feel like I'm starting to see a trend........ We usually come out strong in the first part of the game i.e. Chealsea...... I think teams are starting to realize this and using it to their advantage..... They seem to just sit back and defend for the first 20-30'mins and let us have the majority of the possession...... After dominating the first part of the game it seems our players maybe get over confident and think they've got it in the bag I.e. Chealsea again..... We need to put the game away early and not let other teams get back into the game..... we also need to work on keeping up the same intensity for the entire 90 mins...... We can't get too comfortable after dominating the first part of the game.... It seems this is what other managers are trying to do (give us a false sence of comfort) so we let off the pedal as the game goes on

I suggest you go back to every game and check again.

Alternatively, to save time, you could look up some stats. on us.

P.S. Should your screen name actually be 'Blueblogger' ???? ;o)

City's away form is becoming a problem as is the recent lack of form of silva and aguaro. I really hope we manage to win one of the cup competitions now as the league is there to be won for the rags.

Thread for people to get a grip.

Are you calmer, yet? Post here if you are.

AJ does not need saving - he should have started today or at very least come on sooner that was my point

You cannot play Johnson when the opposition has ten men behind the ball, what space is he going to operate in? He is only of use when the game becomes more stretched as it did towards the end.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

dissapointed in yaya toure today he lost the ball far to many times and rarely makes a tackle once we lose possesion cant understand why nige isnt starting more games think de rossi wud be a welcome addition and some width wud help create more chances in tight games.
