***OFFICIAL CITY vs STOKE MATCH THREAD***

[aaron bond]

We finished the half well but the first 35 minutes were pretty awful.

The defence is just hideous. It's been like this all season but we got away because of the sheer number of goals we were scoring. Pellegrini has done absolutely nothing to improve it this season and I really can see this hampering our chances of winning the league.

Demichelis is out of his depth. It's embarrassing watching him play and every other team knows he's a weak link so they target him. Kompany turns into a headless chicken when he plays with him and he's been a nightmare today. One more foul and he'll be sent off so he needs to keep calm.

We need to score a couple because I don't have any confidence our defence can hold out.

Negredo needs to get involved more. Dzeko has looked more lively up front and I'd consider bringing Jovetic on for Negredo.

they all need rockets shoving up their a-holes
substandard

[MUS]

Have we forgotten how to play or something?

We're there for the taking

[PrezIke]

the guardian had the suggestion we should have started jovetic today given with aguero coming back he may not start much (although i think pellers has shown he will bench players if they are not performing when given their chance). too late for that now, but c'mon now lads, wake up!

[Sideshow Bob]

Zabba has been shit, constantly slowing us down or wasting chances to break.

[PrezIke]

oh and i think lescott should have started this match over demi who is getting murdered by crouch, physically.

ive said it before, changes are youre not going to be successful is you rely solely on outscoring people and using that to cover up other weaknesses because sooner or later you wont be scoring goals and your other faults will be exposed.

i wish it was "literally" instead

[Dameerto]

Jeeze, Irish adverts are even worse than English ones.

[Sideshow Bob]

Dzeko FFS.

[carl_feedthegoat]

DZEKO AND NEGREDO...CLUELESS UP TO NOW.

[Florida Blue]

Our finishing is beyond horrible. Hopefully Berkovic is getting lulled to sleep.

[aaron bond]

Good start to the half. Let's keep this momentum going.

[ruralblue]

oh am sick of saying it but stop playing little one two's on the half way line!

[carl_feedthegoat]

I take it you are referring to the arsenal match and not this shite fucking effort Im watching,

[aaron bond]

Should we sub Kompany? He's surely going to be sent off soon.

[Florida Blue]

Should we sub Kompany? He's surely going to be sent off soon.

If we do, might as well go three at back as it won't matter. But it might be a good idea to save him from himself.

If he's sent off we'll have Demichelis-Nastasic at the back next week :-(

Jovetic for Negredo. good.

[Dameerto]

Jojo on for Neggers.
