Fucking lucky to be on the pitch, I think the only sensible course is to review it by video and give him a lengthy ban.

charge him for assault and send him to jail, De Jong could have killed him

[Crossie]

Yaya having one of those games where he just DOESNT GET IT. Sticks out like a nob in a field of wet fanny. He h
is fucking up our possession.

[Slim]

Balotelli needs to learn that people are not trees, we are not 90% air and you can't just kick it through them and expect the ball to carry on it's original path.

(as any golfer knows, trees are only 90% air when your topflight is not going through them)

[mr_nool]

I don't like Dzeko's body language when team mates, Mario in particular, screw up or don't pass him. It's always arms up and theatrically turning his back. He makes plenty of mistakes himself.

[carl_feedthegoat]

De Jong has won fuckall up to now...terrible.

Ummmm..... besides the one give away earlier, I think Yaya's been quite good in keeping possession so far. Very good footwork, awareness, and one touch passing

Crossie is just a big ole racist, I think he is looking at Balo.

[The Original Special One]

Now we're starting to motor!

[CityGer]

Both Balo and Edin look a bit casual to me. Work rate isn't there.

[The Original Special One]

I think they're starting to get rattled; we've slowed the game down to suit our pace and they're not liking it

[Dameerto]

One or two of the Napoli players looked nervous in the lineup before kickoff.

[Crossie]

Both Balo and Edin look a bit casual to me.

Me too, could have at least put a pair of shoes on and combed their hair!

[ronk]

Balotelli puking. For a bit I was worried about allergies.

[bigblue]

think Balo's grass allergy may be acting up

[Dameerto]

As long as his face doesn't swell up.

[phips]

Balo and Dzeko arent playing well individually nor are they playing well together.
(Balo did have that sublime cross-field pass to Silva there at the end but still...)

Something up front needs to change..hopefully its not bringing on AJ. Maybe Barry, Nasri, and/or Aguero.

[freshie]

I'd bring on Aguero for Dzeko at half time as he should give us more movement and a greater work rate up front and possibly Nasri for De Jong. Definitely should have started Clichy and Micah (if Micah is fit - think I read somewhere that he might be carrying a knock?)

[Ted Hughes]

I don't understand why we're letting in these shitty little flicky fucking set piece goals in the Chump's Lg when we have to defend against the same stuff every week. It's like we're not reacting. If not for that goal, that would have been a pretty decent Chump's Lg 1st half away performance by anyone's standards.
