our back line against Madrid

Mancini would be a damn fool to throw Nasti and Maicon in.

Yes Lescott and Vincent have been a bit shaky to say the least but you cant go ripping up a proven plan.

Agree. Real themselves have had a very shakey start. They have 4 points from a possible 12 and have scored 4 leass goals than us. They are 14th in La Liga, have a "sad" star and a manager questioning their attitude.
We have "absolutely nothing to fear". You can quote me :)

Just in case.

So can I, but Kolarov occasionally scores.

Maybe these guys could if they had the chance.

it's the "occassionally" that bothers me.

When it comes to direct free kicks, Kolarov only takes the ones on the right or centre, due to being left footed, so others must get chances to score. Wasn't Tevez the last to succeed, two season's ago ? Balotelli could do it better than Kolarov imo but should be spending hours every day perfecting it rather than playing space Invaders or buying gold plated fondue sets. The only difference between Ronaldo & Mario at free kicks is practice.

I'm not Kolarov's biggest fan but since he joined City, I don't think I've seen many better free kick takers anywhere.

Most top teams have 3 or 4 players who are capable of scoring regularly from free kicks though. We need to address that, either by forcing some to practice it (a lot) or by signing some players who can already do it.

He's going to put kolarov up against Ronaldo isnt he :(

didn't think of that.
Although he did fight Mario over one on the left against the Mackem if you remember. He can't have read the script

Tbf, he's probably still more likely to score on his 'wrong' side, than most of our players on their right side.

That would be very silly.

[Sideshow Bob]

i think nasri, with practice, could become very good at free kicks. he's delivered some excellent corners and has a pretty powerful shot.

[mooner]

We will do fine....come on City

[Alex Sapphire]

So Nastasic it is. And Maicon
No Kolarov
Fuck me

[carl_feedthegoat]

Stupid thread who would you play instead? kolo toure who is 15 stone overweight.

Nasti, you thick cunt.

Nasti, you thick cunt.

[dazby]

Wow. You're getting your wish Carl. Hope it works out.

Kompany lost us this match..plain and simple.

If Yaya had scored or Zabaleta then it might have been a different story - its as much about attack as it is defence
