Think we are gonna have to get used to stuff like this.
Thanks to some guy on Bluemoon for writting it up.

we scored didnt we?

we kept possession well and bossed the game for large parts. I dont care if we pass the ball backwards at least we are not playing stupid balls across field and losing it and ending up defending.

Terrible isn't it. Can't take no more I'm off to watch Wimbledon or what ever they're known as these days.

I agree it's better than hitting it down field hoping for Ade or Tevez to run onto like we did last season

You needn't any playmaker at City with such talented wingers as AJ and Jamie Milner, mates!

I think you might be missing the point... or I might be missing your point... Either way someone is missing a point...

Too negative, no playmaker.

Mancini out!

im sick of all this we dont need a playmaker bias. Every real football fan knows that each time you pass the ball you are inviting disaster.. interception.. loss of control. It is plain and simple.. cut out all this passing around rubbish.. and just whack it up to the feet of the playmaker.. let him/her dink some DM and lay the ball straight to the onrushing forward and uncle Bob's yer uncle.
It works every time without fail because the playmaker is just too good.

I must have missed something then because Barcelona is one of the best sides to watch, not to mention successful, and they have been playing this passing around game for years now. They don't have a real playmaker either, mind you, because, really, between Iniesta, Xavi, Messi just to mention three, can you actually say who is the real playmaker? No, because all three of them fill those boots during a game, exchanging positions and making runs through the pitch trying to open up the opposition.

Surely the point he is making is that we don't need a designated playmaker. At least I hope he is because he's just described a beutiful passage of play that ended in a goal. 5 of those every week will do me fine.

All I was trying to say (a bit sarkily,I suppose)I think Bobby has got us playing football.And as long as we do that all the time we dont need somebody who has to run the show.

i dont think sarcasm is warranted here.. if we dont have a recognised playmaker we can just forget top 4

18 passes from throw in to goal, with out giving it away. Impressive.

I don't agree, but I guess we will just have to wait and see...

All attacking players should be playmakers
