Mancini subbing Silva v Fulham?

[paulmclaren]

He was our best player as fucking usual first half, everything went through Silva.
So why the fuck was he subbed?
He was bemused himself Silva and angry and rightly so.
When he went off, we turned to shit.
So why does he keep doing this shit time n time again?
And now he's complaining of lack of players?
The guys a fucking jester at times, ever heard of the youth academy Mancini?
Whats the fucking point in having a youth academy, not to mention quality players out on loan?
If your not going to use them?
Bemuses me and no doubt many others.

[CityGer]

Can he lead us to success?

Ha ha, what after 2 draws? ... not a chance

oh, so you are one of the plastic fans who just reads the papers and thinks everything is fine.

*wink*

also, cheers

with our squad we shouldnt be reliant on one player. It's up the the other players to step up.

I think mancinis biggest bollock could be dropping the most inform player we had. If I scored 4 goals and then ended up sub i'd lose my confidence...

Ok so I read the papers, so what, they all spout B*ll*x anyway .... Just because I've been gloryhunting for 40 years but only posting on here for just a tenth of that, does not mean you can insult me by winking at me ...

I see the press have got you hook, line and sinker. He's bemoaning the fact that three midfield players are currently out injured( not fit) and he can't give Yaya and Barry a rest. He's not complaining that he lacks players.

As for Silva, I agree, bemusing!

Make some allowances Chinners old bean; Doomy has obvious delusions of being a right winker.

What you call dropping i call rotating/resting. Dzeko had just played two 90 min intense internationals thousands of miles away, along with starting the first 4 games of the season added to the fact we were playing Wigan at home and have the likes of Tevez and Balotelli as back up, it was the perfect time to give him a rest. It did him no harm anyway as he was MOTM against Napoli.

call it what you want and dress it up as you want, Taggart would not have dropped Rooney in the same situation, that's why Rooney is now top scorer.

When players play that well they shouldnt be dropped from these games.

When you are under pressure, taking off an attacker for a defender simply puts you under more pressure. Bring on fresh attack minded players. It wasn't the fact Silva was taken off, it was the fact that Tevez or Johnson should have been bought on for him.

regardless of the subs, players doing their jobs would have won the match, let's be clear about that.

We switched off, and sadly it wasn't just one or two, but more like 5 or 6...when that happens, it's impossible to switch it back on. They shut it down at 2-0. Everyone saw that...and the Fulham players seemed like they were going through the motions as well until Zamora was given space and made his shot...then they were reincarnated into our bogey team.

cheers

Correct, we switched off and got punished. Hopefully this will be a lesson to our players.

Don't be surprised regarding our dear opening poster. He's not the sharpest tool in the box.

Didnt we say exactly that when Napoli broke away and got their goal ??? We have not learned our lesson at all.

I think it might be a case of a bit of complacency creeping in, just turning up expecting to roll over teams.
I don't think the Napoli game was that bad although it leaves us in a difficult position, especially if we lose to Bayern, the Fulham game on the other hand...

My thoughts too.
Sends a message that we're shitting it.
There was no need for it and it has cost us two precious points.

You two should hand your CV's in at City.

If you noticed, Yaya went to play further forward when Zabs came on - Yaya was Silva's 'substitute' as it were - and Zabs was the closest thing to a defensive midfielder that we had available to bring on to 'replace' Yaya.

[paulmclaren]

I really think yaya shouldn't be in the games he is, he is 'never' dropped from the first team?
So many times he lols about and doesn't chase down, on the ball he's very good, but off it he leaves alot to be desired.
I really woiuld try that razak out, he looks quality, but i know he won't.
