***official CITY v bayern match thread***

[blues2win]

You can't play two up front against Bayern. They're much better than us but we should be able to give them some sort of game. I'm afraid I would hook off Aguero and Navas and bring on Silva and Milner. I'd like to bring on Negredo for Dzeko to run the channels but he can't risk three changes so early. Actually Zaba should come on for Micah.

Crikey.

We need more bodies in the middle of the park, keep the score down, damage limitations now.

[london blue 2]

Lets be honest, we are pretty shit at keep ball.

[Green & Blue]

Thats a half to forget.Getting made a show of but against a very good side.At least its only the one goal and we still have all to play for second half.

Lol. I'm sure villa thought that too..

FFS Nastasic!!!!

Stop giving away free kicks outside the box.

He's so fucking shit in one on one situations, gets beaten every time. How on earth has this guy started so many fucking games?!?! Getting ridiculous now.

I just don't see what he's doing to earn the shirt. I get told its his passing then watch him
Clip it into row 12 under no pressure.

He's going to be world class. That's all I'm told.

We paid £12m for him plus Savic (who cost £7m). Ridiculous money.

I'm not trying to take all the blame away from Nastacic or Kompany but there is a glaring hole in front of our two centre backs. There was one when we started the seaon and it's still there. Pellegrini needs to fix this asap. It's obvious to anyone who's watching that this is causing trouble for our centre backs.

I agree completely. Getting rid of Barry was a monumental fuck-up and Fernandinho isn't suited to do what Barry did.

Nastasic's defensive frailties have always been there though. He got away with it in the past as he was surrounded by good players, particularly Barry. He's always been shite in one on one situations and his tackling is rubbish. People chose to ignore it because he 'looks' better on the ball than Lescott. When he has to do some serious defending, he can't do it. Without Barry now, it's becoming even more obvious.

I'm not arguing against you (although I don't agree he's that bad) but I'd say Kompany is also feeling the pressure without that protection. We've fielded a naive formation against this team. We're suffering for it.

This refs are bit funny 100 free kicks for Bayern

Here's what i just sent to a city fan on holiday in Sicily with no chance of watching ...


" 0-1 ht . .. seen enough to think these dutch officials have picked up their bmws already "

Insane all was free kick and offside.

[tikatakamcfc]

its unbelieveable how stupid someone can be. Our problem is not between strikers, it is the midfield that needs to be fixed asap.

What the fuck would neggers do? Run from one player to another just like kun and edin.

We need silva in. We need more ball handlers. We need to put together 3 to 4 decent passes when we get a chance to have the posession, then think about forwards.

Not that there was no service, better is to say that we almost didnt have possesion on their half.

Wtf are you looking at....

[Beefymcfc]

I don't know why people are blaming Dzeko when the whole system is so fucking stagnant it's growing fucking algae!

[zuricity]

Very dubious behaviour by the officials

[branny]

It has a lot to do with us constantly being offside and fouling them. Other than that I agree.

These lot would fall over in a stiff breeze. Refs blown for fuck all a few times.

[Cit.revenge]

If we can hold up to half time without conceding, we might have a chance. Then Pellegrini needs to bring to put 5 in the midfield and Negredo instead of Dzeko.

WTF Negredo can do when Yaya and Nasri can't pass ball forward

HE will press and add more bite to our team. Dante and co are simply tearing us apart physically.

Press he alone u are funny , Bayern are just outrun us , our midfild let them have the ball nothing Negredo can do alone.

Not he alone you spastic cunt but he is supposed to be an outlet.....not a bouncing Bosnian fuckwit off whom the ball bounces back to the opposition.

He is not the only shit one tonight but he is fucking gash thus far

That is your culture not mine so don't talk to me any more .

[sheblue]

We need more bodies in the middle of the park, keep the score down, damage limitations now.

Lol. I'm sure villa thought that too..

Lol me bollocks, we keep this up we're looking at 0-3, get midfield sorted.

As I said, bring Negredo in AND shore up the midfield. Bayern are far too physically powerful. I frankly see now way in which Aguero and Dzeko will be effective in this match. Sub both out, bring in Milner/Garcia and Negredo and bring in Silva for Navas.

I think we nees Silva in Dzeko out think Negredo for Dzeko will not do much , there is just not ball for strikers .

[halnone]

Predictions for the 2nd half?

I just don't want us to get destroyed.

I agree we're playing shit, but damage limitations at 0-1. You'd be a great manager.

"Games over lads, Joleon you're replacing Sergio, javi, get kitted up Dzeko you're off, Alex can you replace Jesus."

[MilnersJaw]

People seem to be forgetting that Barry played against Madrid away, we had little possession and got the run through in midfield. I agree with nastasic though.

[getdressedmctavish]

Count badly out thought with his laughable 4 4 2.A 9 year old could see what was going down and fix it after 15 mins.

[brite blu sky]

Very poor set up for this game, easy to say with hindsight but until City can play their own pressing game we need to flood the midfield.

I'm afraid to say it buy Yaya is next to useless in a game like this when we dont have the ball, but he won't get subbed off.

Aguero to drop into midfield, Negredo on for Dzeko and let him also operate deep.

Personally I would put Silva on for Yaya.

[Cit.revenge]

I don't know why people are blaming Dzeko when the whole system is so fucking stagnant it's growing fucking algae!

Ah Negredo love is in air so they blame Edin for whole team be crap.
