I also thought he looked pissed off at the end.

My message to MR dzeko: The reason you don't start is because you come and play like a wanker when you are one and one and free at goal. The guy frustrates me so much!!

[craigmcfc]

I think the reason for this is pressure and confidence. He is a confidence player and when he doesn't play enough he loses concentration and confidence! This, according to me is the main reason for his bad performances. Funny thing is, he never misses these chances when he plays for the national team. This is due to the fact that he doesn't have much pressure and the people boost his confidence.

If Savic plays for us again Ill start a Mancini out thread !!!!.........seriously,what the fuck is Mancini thinking by putting Savic in the lineup ¡?????

What justification does he have? Savic is the worst fucking player that has played for us over the last few years , he is a red card waiting to happen and thats just one of the negatives in his play.

I just watched the post-game interview. He said that Lescott was not ready..Not saying he had no other options, but thats how he justifies today's line-up.

Until. Ivanovic got sent off.

When are we getting a 'like' function?

[Slim]

health and safety alert

TRIPPING HAZARD!

So this is what £32.5M buys you? Wonder what they could get for £50M

[craigmcfc]

Hahaha those are 2 quality clips Slim

That's because we have a very strong, young, improving squad Ted, in spite of what the donkey section might say about other teams overtaking us.

You ought to pardon me, Jonathan, because You know I don't spell a decent english.

In fact I rang my former tutor and she advised me, that yes, to claim for a sporting director misfit is equal to claim that City don't have good players.

now I see my fault.
thanks

Didn't mean you, numbnuts.

but I do claim my fair share.
it's the biggest one, since I was first to start questioning Marwood's capabilities.

Not the same thing at all. You are claiming Marwood isn't up to the job, you may be right but I am unconvinced by your evidence to date. You have never to my knowledge said that we are being overtaken by our rivals or ignored the fact that our squad will be better than last year without signings. Also you are consistently critical of just one aspect of the club. The doom twins, by contrast, are hysterically flapping and following up a mid season witch hunt on Mancini with a summer witch hunt on Marwood. See the difference?

I see.
Just hope - for MCFC sake, not mine - that the Club will take less time then You & Other Stability Addicts to get convinced of the BRIGHT EVIDENCE.

I just happened to think through this exercise of decent humour by our own PP

It was pretty simple though.

Bobby : Bring me de Rossi.
Marwood : No
Bobby : Bring me Javi Martinez.
Marwood: No, but what about Rodwell?
Bobby: I don''t want him.
Marwood: Ok, i will bring him anyway.

and I found myself wondering - for the first time - if Bob will ever get PISSED OFF by these continous dumping of his hard work made by that misfit of a S.D., and might eventually decide to resign.

In the case, we might be "lucky" enough to have Moaninho ready, yet again, to profit of Roberto mancini hard work, for the great amusement of Carl, Ronan, Dazby and several other top Blues.
But it might even end up in tears, with City back to square one and something like AVB. and with Marwood continuing to shape up his primitive idea of football.
One thing You must take for granted, Roberto Mancini's idea of football is made by a solid organization of the back, on which build up the job of a huge box-to-box and a deep laying midfielders, in order to service free flowing and pacey forwards.
He likes and wants players like Yaya Toure, De Rossi, Javi Martinez, David Silva, Alexis Sanchez, Eden Hazard, Mario Goetze, Iker Muniain.

Instead - apart from when he shouted and intervented to force his way - he got and is getting Adam Johnson, Jimmy Jaws (whose workrate and professionalism I do love!) and now Rodwell.

If it continue like this I can see King Kenny around the corner.
can You see the point, now?

[Mase]

How he looks is irrelevant.

There's a personality coming your way in the post mate.

[phips]

Just watched this.

Thought NDJ, Yaya, Kompany, Milner, and especially Zaba were great (won't miss Richards while he's out for a month)
Nasri, despite his goal, was back to his usual so-so self of last season. And Silva looked rusty.

Hazard looks really poor...but maybe after time he'll be better.

That Kolarov-Nasri goal was awesome.

[Socrates]

I see the point Rog, I'm sure if it comes to an either or situation it will be Marwood leaving. Khaldoon has to be trusted surely?

[Ted Hughes]

Crikey, Edin played like he was wearing lead boots. He looked ok the other night.

Imo, we have a problem with that system against a decent team. Chelsea were fucking dogshit & look like missing top 4 to me.

There is a gap in front of the defence which a side like Napoli would exploit. Yaya doesn't cover like Barry does & imo, if we play that system, with that kind of lineup, against a proper team, somebody will do to us what Tevez did to them. Hazard would do it if/when he settles. It would be better to have Yaya where Nasri was playing, but then you lose Silva.

It should suit Dzeko & Balotelli though as we had more width, but there is a hole in midfield (possibly Rodwell shaped?)

Are you for real ?!?? Stop fucking moaning!

In case you haven't noticed, this is a place where we talk about football.

If everyone just kisses arse when we win, that would be a Utd forum. If you want to talk football, I'll probably be around.

Hazard is not poor, he's absolutely full of talent but he's gone to the wrong place.

Serves the cunt right. I hope he ends up like Steve Daley.

Nige was superb for the most part & so much sharper than he was for Holland. (But he did get above himself & cost us a goal along with Panty).

Thank Christ Oscar wasn't playing, then we would have regretted not making enough signings.

Agreed with Ted here, imho he was their best man.

That gif with his falling is for humor, but the fact is the fucker was good today. The way he touched the ball, had speed and movement. We really missed him, but he is a arrogant cunt.
