***official city vs tigerrrrs matchday tread***

[Trautmann]

We are in trouble. Passing has gone to pieces, and we are reduced to individuals trying to break through a disciplined Hull defence on their own. I think City did tighten up in midfield after 20 minutes or so, but up to then it was open season and we are lucky not to be 2 down.

Sat here watching the game at stadium and from the way I see it the problem is, yaya is too deep and fernandinho is not a forward thinking midfielder. We need a proper holding midfielder to free up yaya to move forward.
Defence to slow and always. Look like a blunder waiting to happen!!!

Nail on head mate, we need a defensive screen to allow us to relax.

Our defence is a shambles. We fall apart whenever Kompany doesn't play. Lescott is good defender, but isn't a leader. I've never seen the hype over Nastasic and that continues today. If he's going to be world class as so many believe, it's days like today where he needs to step up.

The midfield is abysmal. Hull have far too much space in the middle, and Yaya and Fernandinho are ineffective both in defence and attack. If Pellegrini is determined to get rid of Barry, then he should bring in Rodwell or Milner to replace him.

At least it's 0-0 and we can still go on to win the game. But we are very fortunate not to be playing any of our title rivals just yet as they would annihilate us right now.

I wasn't saying don't bring him on, just didn't want Dzeko taken off.

Kun has been pretty awful today.

[phips]

All I can think of is that Kun needs match time since he didn't have a preseason - it can't possibly be a tactical sub.

I really think that Aguero must play i don't know why but even Tevez was going out when better then Aguero but let see maybe Aguero can pass to Negredo one.

I'm increasingly thinking him and Yaya have clauses in their contracts that state they must play when fit. It sounds ridiculous but neither of them are dropped no matter how badly they perform.
