Noy bad, could be better, we need to push on.

[Sideshow Bob]

Garcia had a good half.


There I said it.

Best I've seen from him bar Munich. Dzeko excellent, as well.

[PeterParker]

Pellers assistan manager, the one with the black trench really looks like a mafia hitman, doesn”t he?

Piss funny.

Ruben?

Ruben.

He makes Pelllers some suggestions he can't refuse.

[Slim]

He looked handy. However on the goal I felt he should have been covering Kolarov. Kola has licence to run forward and we need someone to cover the hole left by the fullbacks, Demi was left facing two players and then that left us with 1 v 2 in the box.

But he did well cleaning up, even nipped in and stole the ball high up the pitch, was nice to see him playing okay and I feel at times the other players look to go around him and late in the half this wasn't the case as he was getting himself involved.

[phips]

pretty good first half, even if both goals came from a bit of luck.

unfortunately the only real opportunity Cardiff had going forward saw our defense capitulate.

[Cit.revenge]

Seems to me the problem with the goal is they had a runner down the right who wasn't tracked.They had a 2 on 1 and made the most of it.Vinnie wasn't great but I couldn't blame Joe at all.

Decent half but far from top gear.Great play from Silva for the first one and then such a wonderful pass from Yaya to set Edin away. Need the next goal then we could score loads.

Garcia should close gap there when Kolarov stay up or at list help CB but hes so fuckin slow . And reff could give one penno

[PaulieIrish]

Good half but only in 2nd gear.

Really should have had 1 if not 2 pennos. Ref is terrible. Pretty obvious that after the controversy of the Newcastle non-goal, he's decided that we are not getting anything unless it's blatantly obvious.

In fairness, other than their goal, Cardiff have been poor. We look really comfortable and will likely go on to score 2-3 more...

Scoring 4 is our best defense.

We've destroyed the system and the players whom Mancini had built up sadly. But I'll take the scoring 5 instead any day. Balance doesn't seem like an hololistic aim.

Disagree for once. Garcia cut out the cut back passing lane. He did his job for me.

Except when Kolarov was just attacking, that's exactly what he just did.

[Bleed_Blue]

Negredo is looking a bit like he is taking pressure, if he just relaxes a bit and maintain composure, he can score for fun

[Sideshow Bob]

Hart is not exactly inspiring confidence today.

[ant london]

Dzeko in general playing way way way better than I have seen him do consistently since we bought him

BUT

His finishing is fucking astoundingly inconsistent. How he can finish so well and then unfeasibly poorly is mindboggling

He needs to score again today or he will be out of the starting XI from the next game

[Pretty Boy Lee]

C'mon lads put them away

[ruralblue]

Come on Serg lad!!!! Lets have one in under 40 seconds!!!

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Jesus that would have been some goal

[I Just Blue Myself]

Some touch by Dzeko. The Beast needs a rest, looked sloppy today.

[Slim]

That was wonderful football, shame about the finish.

[ant london]

great management....Beast is the better partner for Sergio but he is not at the races today. Good for Edin's continued confidence.

[Cit.revenge]

We need goal to brake them
