Nasri hasn't been great but AJ has been wank.
I'd rather play with 10 men than have Kolarov on the pitch.

Re: THIS IS THE TEAM....
Micah and Clichy must have slight knocks, because for the life of me why would we play Zab and Kolarov over them both today?
Hopefully Milner will be pushed up a bit, no need for 3 dms at all. Johnson did ok against Fulham, hopefully he will contribute again today.

Why save your best fullbacks for the EL and play your second string in the CL? This best be some masterplan that us as average joes just can't put our fingers on!

Re: THIS IS THE TEAM....
Slow ponderous start, I'm really not holding out for anything great today , we really should be going for the jugular, but we seem to be slacking off with this selection!!! After Untd going top, and spurs creeping up on us, it beggars belief why the hell he's made this selection!!!!

Where's Pizzaro. ? We seem to need a cutting edge in midfield to help Silva out, 25mins gone , and its dullsville.........,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Re: THIS IS THE TEAM....
It's looking better, but we just seem to bs lacking any cutting edge in the box.
Aguero is doing his barn door dance again, we should be winning comfortably by now with the chances we've had

Aguero taking too long before deciding to shoot. Getting lots of shots on Target today is what should be happening as we can if we do so early.

Re: THIS IS THE TEAM....
we do need to show more urgency... every time we get a dead ball it's sideways.
Joe Hart playing the ball backwards from a free kick.. then having to clear it in a rush 3 seconds later...

Seems like we're trying to walk it in again too many people not spotting the direct route is on when they have.ball at feet

Re: THIS IS THE TEAM....
And if we are trying to get crosses in then we need people in the middle to get on the end of them.

Re: THIS IS THE TEAM....
Half time talk should incorporate all of the above plus an urge to make Given feel like it's the Alamo. Get out there and get shooting guys, you won't get it any easier than this!

Re: THIS IS THE TEAM....
I don't understand why he's saving Richards and Clichy for Thursday? The prem is the one to go for, get Kolarov off and get Pizzaro on

Re: THIS IS THE TEAM....
I think the difference is confidence, when we scored, we looked like our old self again, but a win is a win, and atleast we ground it out in the end!
And YaYa is back, and not only will he make things tick in midfield, he'll restore some belief in the side, and once Pizzaro gets a run in the side he'll make a difference too.
There's also talk of Tevez wanting to come back to the team too.
Still top, with players coming back, but Mancini took at risk with that team selection.

Glad none of you lot are the manager. We won - always looked in control apart from the nerve wracking last 3 minutes. 1-0 - we won and are still top. Give the lads a break. We'll barnstorm when we get back to a full complement. LOL

Such an easy post when we won a game we were in control of for 85 mins, but apart from the goal -
did FUCK ALL!!
Terrible performance.......3 points is welcome....but 'surviving' ISN'T in the game plan...SURELY???
Woeful in attack......back to last year and all over again. There is a difference this year....we are top and have spent huge amounts of money. If that is acceptable, 3 points and a win from a Lescott goal....then i'll take the PL....but play like this from now on in.........in ain't gonna happen IMO. Other more adventurous teams would punish us. Mancini needs to realise this after 60 mins.....FFS - kill the game off....instead of holding out for a 1-0 win. They should've equalised but for Hart.
Top...yes....oh, but i wish we could get back to something like Spurs style of play. We look shit and look like we are hanging on by our fingers tips and showing no bollocks to take a shit team apart...when they were there for the taking today.

Re: THIS IS THE TEAM....
Have to agree with Blueboy Wensdi, sorry. But yes, am happy to still be top. My management style would involve a fair bit of hairdrying when required though. If chasing, put the pedal to the metal and wear them down. If ahead, put the pedal to the metal and wear them down. Show no weakness, give no mercy and watch everyone else crack. Watch the British rowing team with Pinsent and Redgrave over the years. Utterly destroyed everyone via attrition with the above approach applied at the right time - the balance point of the competition. Now is where we should be wiping all hope of being beaten out versus anything but the worst conspiracy of circumstances and watching the others scrap to even cling onto hope.
Ahh, that's better.

Re: THIS IS THE TEAM....
We have lost the cutting edge in attack and we are still too damn slow in our build up.Aguerro and Silva put 5or6 crosses into the box in the first half, and there was nobody to finish it off,and that kit is rubbish.What is wrong with the red and black that is so popular?

Re: THIS IS THE TEAM....
That's probably where we miss Yaya, but more so when he was playing in the advanced role he did last season, not the deeper role he has occupied for the majority of this campaign.
For example Stoke in the FA Cup final, Yaya, playing just behind our strikers was there to lash the ball into the back of the net, we put a few balls into that area today and there was noone there.

Re: THIS IS THE TEAM....
It's an odd kit, a bit of a lash-up of last season's first away shirt with the shorts and socks from the year before. But we'll probably only need it the once. Apparently we can't play in the home shirt as it's too close to their blue sleeves (we had the same thing with West Ham and Burnley in seasons past as well) and we can't play in the red and black because of their claret being too similar.coolenglishbob wrote:and that kit is rubbish.What is wrong with the red and black that is so popular?
Yeah, I know, if a ref can't pick between the sides with such tentative similarities then there's no wonder they can't do the job properly...
