***Official Lech Poznan vs City thread***

[CITYSTEVEDON]

carnt we shoot from more then 10yds out[ apart from silva missing from 3 yds] why do we have to try and walk the ball in, they had 2 shoots from 25 yds out and scored

[CITYSTEVEDON]

oh and Ive got a name for Richards............. Bambi because every time he goes for the ball his legs goes in different directions

[Beefymcfc]

Calm Down dear!!!

To be truthful, we can't read to much into tonights game as it was a chance for those not seen in the first team to shine. We came up against a well drilled side who's only plan was to hit it from distance or get something from a set piece; which they did.

Anyway, we're still well in the hunt and I actually seen a lot more fight from tonights team than I did from that of the ones at Arsenal or Wolves.

It's easy to send 11 new players out to get a draw, it's different when you change the rules half way through!

[Dunnylad]

We´ve been dicked by one hell of a shite team - enough is enough - get Gollum in I don´t care anyone but this clueless tosser - I want to se e SPIRIT , TOGETHERNESS , PRIDE , WORKRATE , PRIDE IN BATTLE AND NEVER SAY DIE ATTITUDE - we have none!

From the reserves? Hardly a First XI, we are still in the competition, we are still 4th in the table, we have come a long way in a short space of time. Moyes would just be another Hughes, unproven with big egos and a team with big ideas - I haven't got the answer but in my opinion it isn't Moyes

When exactly do you see this turning round - next Wed? You´re avin a larrrff - Reserves - Ade , Milner , Silva , AJ , Komps (came on at 1-1) , so lets rely on fuclin Carlitos again who really loves the manager - this lot couldn´t give a shit and if you couldn´t see that tonight then it´s the blind leading the fuclin blind

hahaha I forgot how warming post match debates can be lol! I expect a win against WBA and a decent performance against the rags, I don't expect the same starting XI against WBA, certainly if the injured return there could be as many as half a dozen changes. I don't expect us to win every game, I thought we did alright tonight, but are just a little short - it was like the 'old' City style performance, play decent, but still lose to a couple of 'freakish' goals - however, that wasn't our strongest lineup and with that in mind I still have a little bit of hope - call me naive, but that hope is there..

More fight than against Arse - with ten ? Get real mate - tonight they had the cnuts there for the taking at 1-1 and guess what we let them roll over us - imagine the scum losing to that lot even with reserves? No fuclin way pal - we´re light years behind

I have a little faith, a little hope, a little positivity..."See what sending out them negative waves did, Moriarty?"

[london blue 2]

we are clearly a little bit shit.

I am real. Although many were well into the 3-0 defeat, I must've moved out of my seat on about 3 occassions (2 beers and a burger). At least tonight had me whoooo'ing and made me believe that we could get a point, unlike that day.

I´m still here after forty years of watching this lot pal - am I insane? The negativity hasn´t come from me mate - it´s from people who need a lesson in fuclin life! I´d ship the lot out to Haiti to see what it means to get the shittiest deal mof all! Moriaty! More like "kiss me quick Hardy" after watching that embarrassment

[Nige]

bridge & Micah were poor giving away the ball and silly free kicks.

Kompany made it worse for the 3rd with a schoolboy skrike rather than chasing the ball he just lost. Not a surprise though given he aint a centre mid player anymore.

Bad day at the office and David Platt can fuck off!

Finally, would Joe Hart have saved the 3rd and maybe just maybe come off his line for the second thus avoiding Boyata's crazy header?

Roll on Sunday.

[london blue 2]

we keep blaming defense yet never look like scoring. The fact that Wolves striker managed to win so many nothin balls the other day whilst our world class strikers got fuck all says more about our attack than our defense imo.

LMFAO! I'm trying to stay positive in the face of another disappointing evening as a City fan, I'd love to think with all the money, with the 'star' players, that we've left those days watching us slide away against a team until recently you'd never heard of, but I'm a born optimist - call me naive, but I think with our strongest eleven out there we wouldn't have lost - only time will tell if I'm right or wrong...right off to hit the whiskey :o)

[gaudy]

Did Given make even one save?

yes,what the fuck has that to do with anythin.
looking for someone to blame for tonight then look elsewhere,not the person you have a grudge against

so I've a grudge against Given now????

mistook you for someone else

Roll on Sunday.

Hart would have as that was clearly a ball that any keeper could have a touch on. We know of course that Given loves to stay glued to his line, so no surprise there tonight.

[Nick]

To be fair to Mancini, he was right to field a weakened side tonight, because it will be a long season.
And also he needed to see how his fringe players were going to perform, and whether he could ease any of them into key league games.

But I think we can safely say after tonight that Bridge is for the exit door, the sooner the better.
And SWP should be out by the Summer

Given is back to bench-warmer, from Saturday on, for an indefinite period, no matter how much he sulks.
Boyata needs to have his confidence rebuilt, perhaps in FA Cup games, and in substitute right back appearances.
(but no starting spot until he's rebuilt his confidence with a run of solid substitute performances)

Milner can't run the midfield
Vieira can't last 75 minutes, any more.
Micah Richards is still a 'work in progress': I wouldn't write him off yet

On the positive side:
Zaba always puts in a solid shift
Ade is worth a starting place: let Balotelli fight it out with him.

As for David Silva: what more can one say?

dont know how u can write such a 'make sense' post when were this angry lol

[Nick]

iT DOESNN'T MATTER WHO THE FUCK WE BRING IN AS MANAGER, WE'LL STILL BE SHITE ALWAYS SHITE

it really is looking like that isnt it ?

Couldn't have put it better myself mate.
As usual we've had the same old knee jerk reactions most of which have been bollocks.
If someone had of said prior to the start of the season by the first week in november we would be joint top of the group in the europa league and fourth in the prem most of us would have taken that as a fairly good start to the season.
Now our squad is at full strength for the first time this season I would expect us to kick on from here. Obviously we've missed Carlos but once Balo has settled in it will take the pressure off him and we will be able to risk resting Tev without fearing the consequences.
a minimum of 4 points from the next two games will steady the ship and give the whole suad more confidence which is what we are lacking at the moment.

[Beefymcfc]

Was anybody disappointed with Dave's strike on goal from 5 yards out, similar to Ade's the other week? Remember that one, and the abuse he got?
