****City v Newcastle MATCH THREAD****

[KinkyKinkladze]

Aye we have talent. But it's pretty much the same team that won the league 3 seasons ago. It feels very much like we've stood still whilst Chelsea have strengthened 2 years running, even Wenger has got his purse out for flair players.

When players like hazard, Sanchez, Suarez, fabregas and di maria have all made moves in the past 2 years, it feels criminal to me that we've signed squad fillers. We all need a squad filler, but we also need somebody new to come in and make it spicy. We haven't had that since aguero. Unless you count Scott Sinclair.

[dick dastardley]

Since Moscow we could be out of all but the Fa cup come same time next week, a disastrous week, we just haven't brought in the quality additions in the summer

[Wooders]

Can we please, as a group of sensible people, stop romantisising how we won the league? On either occasion? We won both times because the team that should have won it cocked it completely up

[Cit.revenge]

I miss Garcia , even on Mangala place

Grow up!

[Redna]

Willy- He doesnt want to be here.
Kolarov- Instead of being spured by Clichy it's the other Way around.
Demi- Slow but steady
Mangoer- He has got the talet but is all over the place
Sagna- Have no clue what so Ever why he was signed
Yaya- same as the horse
Milner- he is english, he works but he is off
Dzeko- he has not the first touch off a rapist he is worse
Navassaön- Light weight he is.
The other- nothing working

No, we won it because we had the bottle to do it on both occasions and the other teams didn't.

[Camebro]

We like all out of sorts. The performances are so disjointed and have none of the fluidity were supposed to have. I'm
Away to hide under a rock.

bang on and FFP has fucked us to some extent but

bollock number 1: not buying fernando and mango in jan
bollock number 2:resting players in the fa cup vs. wigan to crash out to barca
bollocks number 3: not replacing negredo
bollock number 4: not signing anyone further to streghten i.e. isco, falcao, di maria types.
potential bollock: not selling yaya in the summer and replacing with barkley/pogba/vidal.

[Wooders]

Oh fucking hell, that's a bit tenious isn't it?
So we showed a lot of bottle by scraping it on goal difference and liverpool fucking up did we?

[Nige]

3 final points from me.

Kolarov got owned in the air and on the deck by that clown Obertan!

Jovetic plays like the fella with the bib in a keepball circle, chase like fuck and then smash the ball in any random direction.

If Silva had tried to stay on his feet while getting touched on his shoulder he wouldn't now be injured.

I think it's a blessing we did nt but fernando and Mangala in January. We won the fuckng league! Fernando may come good yet.

we need a good striker.

i think jove has a part to play as second striker, and should come good in front of goal WHEN he settles and doesnt panic like fuck like he has to score a 45 yard worldie to get into the team. FFS dzeko is doing fuck all to keep his place so why does jove feel so pressured?

dzeko is not aguero quality, no pace no first touch. third striker thats all.

[City64]

Worst week in a long long time . We are going from bad to worse , we are dog shit at the back , no better upfront and all over the place in midfield ............. worst of all it doesn't look a happy camp and we have the rags next .............. it could get a whole lot worse .

agree to some extent - but we were crying out for those positions to compete in all four cups.

my reasoning is that we could have bed them in slowly.

mangala should not be thrown in.

fernando looked quality (as did jove) before his injury - its unfortunate and all the resting post world cup has also been another bollock

[Nick]

and if pellers keeps saying we are unlucky and playing well i'll get even more pissed off.

we rely solely on silva and aguero.

[blues2win]

Silva has a twisted knee so surely out for the next couple of matches. Toure apparently ok. I hope Jovetic plays on Sunday. He never stopped trying and stood out in a poor bunch.

[Spurge]

Its seems to be second season syndrome repeating itself.

After we won the title under Bobby we were caught out because teams sussed us out. Exactly the same thing is happening this season, if we keep playing the same way teams will learn how best to play us - Stoke, West Ham and now Newcastle got it spot on and we had no answer. Others will follow.

We need a new plan A.

Willy,Sagna and Mangela looked like real misfits tonight - worrying.

Something to put a smile on my face haha
