***Official Manchester City vSSC Napoli match thread***

[Mase]

Kompany not looking composed at all!

[PALUS]

napoli play good must say that

[mr_nool]

Aronica gets a yellow. Third Napoli defender to get one now. Kun is jut too fast for them.

[Crossie]

Got to be 3 of their back 4 on yellows now, dirty fuckers cant keep that up all game.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

How have we not scored, come om City.

[Biamp]

Got to be 3 of their back 4 on yellows now, dirty fuckers cant keep that up all game.

Not even close enough to get the ball.

[PALUS]

fuck wath was that 3 player on 2 in box

[Biamp]

I mean we're controlling the game, but we need a goal sooner or later.

[mr_nool]

scum 1-1, i'm afraid.

[Whassat]

Frustrating first half!

[phips]

very nervous first half for City.

[mr_nool]

Great game of football, despite there not being any goals. We're all over them, but they do defend well.

[PALUS]

napoli good defending

[Biamp]

Not a bad half at all.

[Crossie]

very nervous first half for City.

You what?? did you watch the last 45 mins? we fucking dominated them. Fair enough we lacked shots on target, but we were keep them very quiet, and crafting some nice little plays. There back line are a fucking huge upgrade on Wigan/Bolton/Swansea, but we have enough to pop a couple in 2nd half.

I wouldnt change anything, must have had about 70% possession and way more chances on goal

Yaya spooned that sitter too.

[shawzy]

Thought Yaya was our best player

It's a really good game - exactly what we hoped for when we qualified for the Champions League. We have been the better team, but Napoli do look good. Their front 3 are very impressive.

We've been creating some great chances though and with their defenders all booked now, we should really look to test Aguero's (and Dzeko's) pace against them in the second half.

[PALUS]

i think we to much complcate yaya must score that fuck

[Dameerto]

The Setanta co-commentator just made a good point, three of the back five are on yellows so it would be a good idea to bring Tevez on instead of Dzeko and have everyone run at them from all directions. The only thing is Dzeko is having a better game than Aguero so far, so I don't want him taking off (and we actaully need to get him into the game more in the second half)

[ruralblue]

Well I enjoyed that a little nervy at times when they attack us on the counter, but I see us nicking one or two in the second especially as three of their back four have to watch themselves and not try hacking Dzecko or Kun down. Tad dirty at times but ref seems to pick up on it.

We also need to take a few more shots rather than trying to walk the ball into the net.

Come on City!!!
