Wolves Vs City Post Match Discussion thread

Thing is about AJ- we do look weaker defensively when he plays and so many attacks come down his wing.

he needs to sit down and watch what Milner and Merlin do when they dont have the ball. 10 minute cameos in games will not be enough for Roberto.

While he is right the last two matches Johnson has played well Mancini has come out and said he can do better. Whilst I'm all for encouraging players to improve surely a bit of praise is in order? If I was Johnson I'd be quite annoyed that I kept getting singled out and told to improve after playing well.

Mancini is right. I'd go further and say if Johnson doesn't improve he won't make it with us. He is too inconsistent, often within the same game - he needs to realise that he has to play for 90 minutes at the same level, otherwise we have players that we can rely on to do so.

Tonight, while he did very well in patches, was a good example of everything that is wrong with him, as well as showcasing all that is right.

Just needs to improve the ratio of good to bad and he'll do well with us.

Personally though I'd replace him in January, but I doubt that will happen, and know I am in the minority among City fans for now.

And he can get praise once he's stopped the pissing and moaning when subbed. Mancini has shown you have to earn his respect.

Hmm... What about Dzeko, Nasri and even Aguero to an extent? Those players don't play well for the full 90 they drift in and out and pop up with a bit of magic. Very few players are going to play the full 90 as world beaters. Right now Johnson is coming up with those moments of magic or inspiration just like the above players.

You any good?
 
My observations.

Nasri was excellent and my man of the match.

Johnson had a good game but needs to keep working hard. He would be fcking nuts to not want to be part of this.

Dzeko was excellent

The two young lads did ok and Suarez did when he came on. I can't see any of them making the first team in the next 18 months but certainly ones to watch.

Joe hart must not get injured because I think this keeper looks dodgy.

Lescott and kompany must not get injured as kolo is not good enough and savic too raw.

Credit to the 2300 who made the trip. Excellent turn out.

Dzeko and Nasri aren't starting for the same reason... Although Nasri I fully expect to improve drastically over the next month or two. Aguero is also settling in (very nicely) and is only really there to score goals - Johnson needs to contribute for 90 minutes in his position, at least when called upon.

Not asking for him to be a world beater for 90 minutes, just consistent. At the moment we get about 10 minutes world beater, 80 minutes non-entity and that's not enough IMO.

Agree with all of this.

Decent summary although wouldn't be too harsh on keeper as it's difficult to play a game every few weeks.
