[blueboy]

Team:

Bravo
Zab, Ota, Kolo,Clichy
Fernando, Silva
Sterling, TLMLF, Sane
KDB

[blueboy]

Got to feel sorry for Stones. He made a mistake, just like Kockorov made two, yet he gets dropped for the past 2 games!!

[skyblueoz]

Have we re signed Kolo then blue????

[blueboy]

No, didn't have time to post Kockorov...trying to get you guys the team news as quickly as I could!

The MCFC website is absolutely shite.

Rob Pollard who does the Matchdays threads - has just posted at 15:05 "So what do you think of both teams?".....it would bloody help to compare them Rob, if MCFC actually posted the City team FFS!!

[skyblueoz]

What is it with the city website 5 mins ago it was Anthony Taylor who was reffing now it is listed as Martin Atkinson. Thank god it has changed but not too fussed with Atkinson.

The website has really gone downhill from last year. I hope they don't call this seasons version progress. If so I hate to think what next years offering will be like.

[blueboy]

Don't really bother with MCFC.co.uk......it's gone from being by far, the best PL website, to one of the worst in 6 months....absolutely fucking awful to navigate and rarely updated.

[skyblueoz]

Have to agree I am now having problems with the city tv snips they won't play on my computer. I havn't done anything to change the computer settings as far as I know but I don't suppose it is the website.

[skyblueoz]

Bugger Walcott is playing him & sanchez have a nasty habit of scoring against us

[skyblueoz]

can't watch the game tonight as the daughter has just got back from her works xmas party & is having the after party at our place the game kicks off in 45 mins but the only tv in which I can watch the game is right next to the alfresco where there are 30 screaming teenagers so no chance of watching the game.

[blueboy]

Get your laptop, go to bed and watch it there....leave the lasses to party on!

[Topdawg]

gulp...

[Topdawg]

since they switched to wix, i guess for the money, the website has been horrible. i avoid at all costs now

[skyblueoz]

whats a lap top?? you have to pay for that don't you?????

[skyblueoz]

Optus got the broadcast rights this year out bidding Foxtel. Luckily my mobile provider is optus, so I was able to get the fetchbox mini free of charge. the premier league costs me $5.00 a month 2.50 to you approx. The only problem is it is linked to the smart tv so that is the only way I can watch live as I don't posses a laptop. Other than that it is on city tv on Foxtel tomorrow afternoon.

[Topdawg]

go to a bar Oz. Best of both worlds!

[Topdawg]

absolutely shit from sane

[Topdawg]

better that time

[Topdawg]

fucking shit defence. what a waste of time

[Topdawg]

we had 7 players doing fuck all. they had 3-4 players. wankers

[Topdawg]

believe in Pep...

[Topdawg]

should have scored.

[Topdawg]

still not taking our chances

[Topdawg]

Is Sane the new Navas???

[Topdawg]

Arsenal look dangerous whenever they stream forwards

[Topdawg]

has to be a yellow, but no

[Guest]

At a family do, have no desire to even watch, especially after seeing score.  Will we still be saying shit defending in 2 years, it's simply pathetic

[titbumwilly]

For all the Pep haters, he can't legislate for a £49m forward not being able to hit a cow's arse with a banjo.
Sterling was shit, is shit, and always will be shit.

[Topdawg]

Kev playing very well

[skyblueoz]

sadly it is Perth Dawg & after midnight on a Sunday especially you'd be lucky to find a bar open. Come to think of it after 10 you would struggle to find a bar open here.

[Topdawg]

Don't say it too loud TWB, some on here won't like it.

[Topdawg]

we're fucking abysmal at the back

[Topdawg]

Sane isn't really helping out. Just stood there doing nowt so Zabba had no options

[titbumwilly]

Sorry, in the words of Roy Walker (and Dave from The Royle Family) "say what you see" - Sterling is a complete donkey.

[Nijinsky]

we're fucking abysmal at the back

Crap in midfield
and shit up front

[Topdawg]

at least the crowd are behind city

[Topdawg]

you can't legislate for a striker missing an open goal, but how to you explain the defending for the goal?

[Topdawg]

arsenal get the ball, they go forwards. we pass it sideways or backwards most of the time

[Topdawg]

burnley have scored! good to see...

[Topdawg]

Sane seems to have no clue. he doesn't know what to do.

[Topdawg]

pep slipped on his arse

[blueboy]

Massively hamstrung with TLMLF in this system.

He's playing in neither a deep role or an advanced one. He's rarely more than 10 yards away from Fernando and offering fuck all going forward and is his usual lumbering self when their MF have the ball.

Sterling has made 2 or 3 great runs, looked up and there's no-one within 20 yards of him to pass to. KDB is isolated going out wide and we're left with Sterling as a striker in the box.

TLMLF needs to be breaking beyond their back 4 and supporting our false 9, whoever takes up that role.

As for Kockorov and Otamendi....garbage defenders!

[Topdawg]

bit better from sterling

[blueboy]

Good to see Dawg saying 'shit' whenever Sane touches the ball.....no biased there then. 

[Topdawg]

It's all Yaya's fault
