city vs roma live thread

[Topdawg]

Hart
Zabba kompany dimi clichy
Navas fernandinho Yaya silva
Dzeko Aguero

[blueboy]

Surprised Clichy is playing again...he was average at the weekend. Maybe saving Kolorov for Villa with Benteke back.

Looks a strong team...and with their older players, lets hope Navas can do some damage.

[Topdawg]

Sorry, if you can't send the player off for that, then you don't deserve to be a ref at any level.

[Strange Blue]

1-0 AGUERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Topdawg]

Bullshit defending to allow maicon a free shot. lucky it wasn't crossed in for a tap in.

[Topdawg]

I can't see Roma not scoring at least one goal. If not more unless we score another couple quickly and they give up.

[Topdawg]

lazy bastard yaya. put your foot in and win it instead of being a pussy then fouling.

[Topdawg]

Why do we give teams so much space?

[Topdawg]

They are getting behind us time and again.

[Topdawg]

shit early kick out from hart. Again. And then he wants to get the hump when he is dropped.

[Strange Blue]

Great save from Hart

[titbumwilly]

This is when MP earns his money, because it's blindingly obvious that this formation isn't working.
Sort it.

[Topdawg]

I dunno. are we shit or are we wank? again.

[Topdawg]

Great save from Hart

for a change, he didn't fall on his arse and let it go in over him.

[TMG]

Cant compain about the score altho we cd have had another couple of pens 

Very poor defensively
Clichy is too slow
Hart fucked up again
Need to get Milner on as an extra bod in MF

[leopold]

I'm not buying this "not bedded in yet" crap today. This team were together last season. This team won the league. There's no creativity, no speed, no fight. And Kolarov wonders why the fans are quiet.

Silva still can't take a corner, Maicon is making Clichy look like a pedestrian, Navas isn't running at anyone, Yaya keeps passing backwards... But Dzeko is doing okay.

Hoping for a much better second half. A draw only suits Roma.

[titbumwilly]

Ginger Rag Twat is the English equivalent of Andy Murray! Boring fuckwit

[blueboy]

Been very very poor.

Defence are giving their wide players far too much room. Zaba's not tracking his player, but neither is Clichy or any of the 2 holding MF's.

Dzeko couldn't win a header if his life depended on it, Silva cannot be arsed to track back.....and we have had one chance, a penalty (which he should've saw red...that's terrible reffing).

Time to tell the 'lazy one' to fuck off up the park. Get Milner on for his work rate and tell Navas (playing like a one-tick pony), that there are other ways of beating a player than pushing a ball outside of him and trying to cross it, to fucking well start getting in this game and making things happen.

Oh, and what was I saying in another thread about players and studs??

It's shit MP....and he's just sat there and let it happen. We're outnumbered in MF and we've done nothing about it.

However, we always get stronger in the second half ( )...so let's hope Milner comes on, Yaya gets further forward and actually does something for a change in a CL match....and even add Jovetic at some point.....it has to get better after that start. SURELY?

If we draw here, forget it. 3 points absolutely necessary.

It sounds like the fans are right up for this on TV....best I've heard for ages.

[TMG]

I'd be happy wi a draw at the moment cos we r looking very capable of losing 

[leopold]

Not where I'm sat. Very quiet.

[blueboy]

Not where I'm sat. Very quiet.

Can only think ITV are playing background chants then....heard the Zaba song go on for about 10 mins non-stop.

Maybe we have a good MC.

[Strange Blue]

Milner on for Navas

[Strange Blue]

Another good save

[Topdawg]

seriously pissed off watching this. When will Navas not totally rely on his pace? Trick the defender and you are long gone. At the moment, we deserve to lose. We are pressing, but pressing 5-10 yards off the fucking ball.

[titbumwilly]

Piss poor, something fundamentally wrong somewhere.
It looks as if these players have never met before.

[Topdawg]

Now we've even given up pressing them in their own half.

[Strange Blue]

Franks on 2-1

[titbumwilly]

That's it, I give up! That lazy fucker stays on the pitch after his efforts! Unbelievable.
Can't be arsed to care anymore.

[Guest]

That lazy f... waste of space! Pedestrian like c... Whyyy whyyyy!

[Guest]

Telling you his contract says he plays.

Luckily been busy tonight and only had it on in the background. We are still too naive and teams play us because they know we are. We simply won't get out this group this year so I'm not investing the time.

So itv replace one rag Cnut with another, priceless.

Come on lads prove me wrong!

[Topdawg]

I'd rather play with 10 men than have yaya on the pitch

[Guest]

Yaya you fff....its so frustrating! !! Please get rid in Jan or get injured... sweet he is of to Africa soon...hope he doesnt come back!

[Guest]

He us going to cost us everything this year. Not good enough for the bench but he can't be dropped.

[titbumwilly]

I think this performance finally puts the conspiracy theories regarding our seedlings to bed.
It would not matter what pot we get put in, 1,2,3 or 4, we would struggle to get out of any group.
We are light years from seriously challenging for this trophy.
Tactically inept in every aspect.
As for Toure, well, just fuck off please.
Even if he gets an injury time hat-trick, I detest the lazy twat.

[Guest]

Agree TBW we are so naïve it's painful to watch. Even PSG are battering Barca tonight, we are just simply shit in Europe.

[Strange Blue]

A bit of perspective, Roma are flying in their league demolished CSKA 5-1 couldn't be a worse time to play them. Draw not going to be good enough in this group though

[titbumwilly]

Whether Roma are flying or not, we have been awful, no excuses. Piss poor performance.

[Strange Blue]

10 men behind the ball from Roma last 12 minutes just need a bit of luck

[Topdawg]

we got more than we deserved. we were awful regardless of how well roma played.

[Guest]

Not for me strange blue. Italian league is shite...no more excuses. ..Roma may have the confidence but we have been playing shit and yaya is playing like we are 10-0 up... Pellegrini got this wrong...

[Guest]

It's a point I guess, l thought they would Nick it.

We've no idea how to win these though and I don't think any of our players can change that.

[Strange Blue]

I'm about the most optimistic around at the moment, but sod all chance of getting out the group now

[Guest]

Trouble is how can we be optimistic when we effectively play with 29 men each week, and that lazy Ivorian plays every bastard minute. Contract or not the fucker had to be dropped or we are going to be out of it all.

[Guest]

Bloody phone 10 men, lol

[Guest]

If Roma beat Bayern it will be over for us.... Boteng will probably score an own goal so Roma win! CL cityitis still at large.

[Guest]

And now to listen to the rag twat

[titbumwilly]

It's all well and good strutting off the pitch like Billy Big Potatoes after you've spanked a shite Wednesday side, but this is where you earn your money.
Everyone bangs on about how good our squad is, but in reality we aren't good enough to challenge in Europe. 
When teams get drawn in our group I really don't believe they are scared, despite what the media suggest each year.
Time to move on certain players:
Yaya, need I explain?
Clichy, simply too easy to beat and no attacking threat.
Navas, one trick pony.
Dzeko, cannot stay upright in a challenge.
We are a team of flat track bullies, and we are out of our depth in Europe.
Time for a reality check MP

[TMG]

I havent said it up to now coz I was hopin he would regain his form BUT
Yaya NEEDS  to be dropped !!!! Milner is 10 x the player Yaya is

Should have played Super Frank from the start. Navas was next to useless

Poor defensively

29 men Lol ! We probably still couldnt win with 29 men !

[blueboy]

I'm not sure whether to comment or not at this moment.

I get accused by some for being too negative, but after reading some other members comments, guess I'm not the only one.

I'm only going to say 2 things and leave my assessment of the game for tomorrow...after a nights sleep so I'm not being too emotional...

1 - YAYA FUCKING TOURE.....I WOULDN'T GIVE A FUCK IF I DIDN'T SEE HIM IN A CITY SHIRT AGAIN.

2- MP CLEARLY CAN'T MOTIVATE THIS TEAM THIS SEASON.
