[quote="blue 68"]Sat in the Dominican Republic by the pool and just checked this game is on Fox sports so now I've seen the line up I'm going to leave the missus in the sun and venture back to the room to see how we perform.
I'd be happy with 0-0, seriously don't want to see us qualify for UEFA cup.[/quote

Im also sat in the DR ..where abouts are you? Punta Cana by any chance?

Tevez is a better midfield option than Garcia IMO.

Looks hungry when dropping deep and is actually putting a decent shift in.

We're pressing high up the pitch which is nice to see. That's an area in which we have been found wanting so far this season

Nasri's crossing is a bit hit and miss. More miss

Tevez is looking sharp which bodes well for Sunday (assuming he starts of course)

Seem quicker to move the ball forward to rather than just passing it round the half way line. Much bettet tempo to what we have played of late.

I was wondering how many goals we get from corners/balls from our wide. I can't remember too many this season - but the fosters might have something to do with that. Anyone know?

Agree with this but I get frustrated when players feel obliged to finish moves off even though there's no chance of it coming off. If you know what I mean? 1-2's that are nice ideas but the defenders spotted them well before the final pass, yet we play it anyway. Maybe I'm just being extra picky this year.

Nasti looking very good in possession, dzeko doing ok but losing the ball a lot, and many other players just being average

Impressed with nasti and tevez cut above the rest so far. Dzeko giving the ball away far to cheaply at times. Hopefully make something of the second half.

Tevez could be a midfield option on Sunday if Silva not fit? I don't think he has been brilliant up front this season but you know you will get a shift out of him.
I hope the only part Dzeko has to play is to come on and score the 4th and 6th goals

A few careless pass attempts from midfield and Maicon but other than that it's been a decent half - looks like there's a number of players having decent games for once. I thought we did ok defensively but Reus caused a few concerns.

Decent amount of possession. Opponents slow to start.

Not a single decent chance created. Alot of back passing and sideways play. FUCKING typical of city this season.

It's fucking simple. DZEKO stays in between the 2 CB's. tevez plays deeper. Wide players put crosses in. How the fuck do the people being payed millions and millions of pounds not understand this?

Well it's obvious as hell, tevez is silva when silva isn't available. I also think he should start behind aguero whenever possible. If mancini continues this pedestrian shit and gets the bullet, the next manager will look like a genius changing one or two simple things.
