Let's have it then...

Agree with all the thoughts on 3 defensive midfielders. When are we going to wake up to the fact that we will only succeed playing a style suited to the Prem not Serie A. We bought Djecko to get on the end of crosses so lets play a team capable of getting of doing that and this means playing wide with pace and getting behind the full backs and playing everything through the middle. Also whoever suggested playing Mario again needs to be taken away in the yellow van-we are going to win nothing with Mario on the park!

dzeko is not a crazy all around the pitch running striker. he doesn't run much, and he is not particularly fast, but he can control the ball and wrestle the defenders and shoot with both legs and head. he simply needs a lot of balls. if you go to youtube to check out his goals you'll see the variety of scoring skills he possesses. when he played against Kiev, and when he was forward, there was no lined up defence. they were all on him. show me a striker who can do anything in such a situation. it is sad that city attack did not use that to push forward. they give him so few balls. Silva is running around like a rooster, dribling himself most of the time and Milner is useless most of the time, mostly provoking the referees.
it was so sad to watch rich City pushed around by Chelsea on Sunday. City was helpless and hopeless. it was so embarrassing.
they bought dzeko and they give him too few balls and he's always trying to pass to his teammates.
[color=#FF0040][b]they need to use dzeko more, and create the game for him. city don't play as a team. they have to get together around someone.[/b[/color]]
