Barry to sit deep with Nige; Silva and Nasri either wing, with Ya Ya pushing through the middle

so, basically, mancini made a mistake tactically, no?

[LeanneIsABlue..x]

Should be an interesting second half!

We were all over them the whole half, bar the first five minutes.

Oh frig off Stelling ' another unhappy City player'.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Should be an interesting second half!

DID YOU LEAVE FUCKING EARLY AGAIN ?

[Duckman]

Should be an interesting second half!

sure fuckin hope so.

a large three or more goals in second half bet aside, we should dismantle these fuckers.

[Green in blue]

Point of the substitution was to put silva out wide and let ya ya go through the middle. We look more dangerous already. Back the
Manager 100%

If you can't see the change I am surprised.

[twosips]

Wasn't a mistake as such - just his plan wasn't coming off, so changed it.

The change worked wonders. Yaya looked threatening immediately further forward. He's SO hard to stop. I love him as an attacking midfielder, and Barry opens the pitch up so well.

[Esky]

I agree with the tactical switch. On merit though, Nasri should've gone off. Johnson was playing quite well, Samir was invisible up to that point.

Kolarov our best player. Kompany and Lescott also look solid (nothing either could do for their goal). Dzeko's been dire. And what's with the offsides? It's like having Benjani back.

Just watched the goal again. Fault Silva for that - no time for De Jong to get close enough to put his boot through it.

PM with stream would be nice lads..:)

Look on here http://elmessias.com/tv.php

thanks mate

if you go on the bluemoon forum, a guy named shadygiz posts about 40 streams for each game in the matchday forum

Spot on mate, best place to go, for the last 2 years.

Right there. download Sopcast so you dont get the stupid adverts running or a crippled bit rate.

Its going to be one of those nights where we batter them all game, but lose pathetically.

if you want to skip the middle man, just go here: http://forum.wiziwig.eu/

its a bit heavy with traffic now, but its basically by the same people from my2p2.eu and shadygiz just seems to copy the streams from here

So many fickle fans it's unfuckingbelievable. How about giving it ten minutes before throwing toys out of pram

Exactly. Barry-NDJ is Mancini's preferred partnership, with Yaya in front, but I assume he was hoping to rest Barry for Sunday and give AJ a game as AJ definitely won't start on Sunday.

The substitution allowed Yaya to move further forward into his better position.

[PeterParker]

Even if we win, Bob must change something before these game. We are fucking clueless in Europe, we are now and we were last year. We win games with Villa, Wigan, Swansea, Rovers, etc, score shitload of goals to play the big guys in Europe and when we finally get there, we had 5 poor halfs.

[LeanneIsABlue..x]

I'm not there tonight :(. I know, shame on me.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Interesting half.We seemed to come out flat again and got a kick up the arse after poor play from Silva and Nigel. (not sure about Joe knocking the ball back out either) Then we looked fairly clueless against a team that is preety well organised .

The bright lights for me were Yaya and Kolarov even though Kolarov's crosses were not that great,but sadly we had key players like Silva,Dzeko and Nasri doing bugger all.I thought the change taking AJ was god at the time as I felt he wasn't threatening at all and whatever the change it was a manager being decisive.And immediately Silva drifts across with the ball and lo and behold we score.

We need to keep the tempo we ended with right from the start and with Aguero coming on half way through if needed we should be able to win this on as long as they don't cock up at the back again.
