Juan Roman

Very young, and from the clips I've seen of EDS games - extremely skillful

cheers moonchesteri ^^

fuck me - he looks about 9, and he's called joan! good luck to the lad, hope we are far enough ahead we can give him a game.

what happened to that scapuzzi? he looked decent.

Pizza and Savic from the start? No Lescott on the bench....uh oh.

I understand the complaints about Savic, but what can you have against Pizarro? He's been class every time he's been on the field so far

agreed! wasn't particularly impressed when he was the only signing but he's done nowt wrong imho. this does smell abit of "shit or bust" on bobby manc's part tho!

Correct...nothing against Pizarro...I'm just uneasy about playing without a real DFM....Barry is injured so I expected NDJ to start. Granted, we are down but its only 1-0 but I see why Mancini would pick such an attacking front 7 but I'm just worried without NDJ in there. People may hate on him but I think he's done really well as of late.

COME ON CITY!

[Bluemoon16]

Come on boys.. Let's do this..

[Mase]

Savic kicking the ball out when under no pressure.......as usual

[Mase]

Lots of giving the ball away and kicking it out of play under no pressure so far.

Crowd sound lively.

[DoomMerchant]

thankfully we can't make a pass and look under pressure from nothing.

solid start. what's up with ole long ball Pizarro? play it on the ground please son...ffs. i'm suck of balls in the air lumped around. jesus. who are we?

[Mase]

Surprise Kolarov has been preferred to Clichy at left back.

[Mase]

Silva trying a through ball to AJ nearly coming off. Defender read it and got in the way.

[DoomMerchant]

our POTY candidate is a shadow of himself...for like...i dunno..months?

[Mase]

Good corner from Sporting and a header at the far post goes just wide.

haha...i just saw it as silva just kicking it to the opposition yet again. Glad you were more optimistic about what he was doing.

cheers

Totally different player from the one at the start of the season.

To be fair to him though he rarely goes missing.

[Mase]

Cross over from the left, Johnson takes it on the volley and it goes wide.

[Beeks]

Pizza man delivery is class

[Mase]

Ball over the top, Balo through on goal, takes a shit touch BACKWARDS and Sporting get it off him.

[mr_nool]

Poor poor first touch by Balo. He was clean through ffs.

[Mase]

Yellow for Yaya

[MR IMAINEROAD]

Having just watched Bilbao running their hearts out I know realise how fucking pedestrian city have become in the last couple of months

[mr_nool]

It's looking better.
