****Official MCFC vs Watford (A) Match Thread****

[Tokyo Blue]

a win is a win and tbh I don't care how we do it, but we was lucky today next the blue bin dippers and we do need to up our game against them

What was lucky about our goals? As opposed to theirs, for example.

[South Stand Balti]

Just so poor in the final 3rd it's weird. From some of those situations at our best we would have scored or forced something from the keeper. There seems to be such a lack of confidence and a touch of tiredness through too many of the players yet here we care again with the same bunch.

This sums it up for me. I would give 6 or 7 players the next 2 games off. I think Yaya, Sagna, Kola etc need a break. I think that was our 29th game of the season. We look knackered. I'm fucking bouncing after that though. Great players win you games when you struggle.

Best in the land...

And all the world.

Ps where's that cunt slagging pellers. Subs won the match. Got to give it to him on this occasion. Fine margin...

Anything that happens in the match thread should stay there..ala Vegas......its post match comments that should be taken seriously.

Like this one..MONGALA is fuckign pap and needs selling for any amount of money asap.

Wasn't on about you Carl, nobody takes your match day ramblings serious. That silvaservice WUM though...

Also lol at Mongala haha. That commentator is a dick.

I know you wasnt mate..the WUMs are obvious.

Im serious about Mongola though......how the fuck can sagna keep a 40 million quid defender after training for more lessons on defending ????????? I mean wtf !!

We will be devoured by any decent team with this defence of ours..we will not get anywhere in the CL and thats a fact !! ---will be lucky to win the prem as well.

[phips]

nope. Manuel will play the same 11 vs. Everton. its absurd.
De Bruyne looks gassed. he hasn't had a rest since he joined the club.

[london blue 2]

More concerned about scoring tbh. We start bagging three four five a game again and the occasional cock up won't look so bad.

I do agree that he's a bit of a liability though.

[branny]

Puts us in a good position. Only Scousers and West Ham to play away from the top half.

I am not sure how many times you need to be told this but here we go again anyway. We haven't got enough fit players to replace the tired players with. Clichy and Zaba are injured. Kompany is injured and Demichelis is so far over the hill he is half-way up the next valley. Delph and Fernando are not fit. Silva and Aguero are not properly fit yet but need minutes on the field, like pre-season over again. Nasri is out for the season.

We can't just twitch our noses and magic up replacement footballers.

[City64]

Brilliant result and massive 3 points . We kept going right to end yet again brave brave substitution from Pellegrini that worked brilliantly and Sergio is back !!!

Bluemoooooooooon


ps Watfords pitch is a disgrace !

Hahaha. You read my mind.

Didn't expect the win. Very happy with the result.

I think we can make some changes for the league cup game, Tokes. Both Zaba and Clichy are fit again and Fernamdo was on the bench. If Delph is fit I would play him too. Nacho could play and Bony could start too. I know its risky to change so many but the lads need a break. I would start daft Martin too against Everton.

[blues2win]

Kudos to Sagna arguably MOM. He defended well throughout and hit a glorious cross on the run. Makes so much difference not to take a touch in that situation.

Lol. That is more surprising than our last 8 mins against Watford. It will never last!

Kolarov done one a minute earlier from the other wing. Left me wondering why we don't ever pepper the box from time to time. Especially when that much in top as it creates panic

[Douglas Higginbottom]

We must use the squad on wednesday so must rest as many as possible. Definitely Kevin, Sagna (even tho he's been great) as long as Zaba is fit, Dinho to let the Octopus play, Navas in for Sterling and maybe play 2 up top as we need to keep getting Kun time on the pitch.

I kept hearing how their front two caused us all sorts of problems and to a point they did because they are damnes awkward physical player, but how many actual chances did they have? I have a bad memory but can only think of 1 clear chance which Joe saved brilliantly. We didn't look that secure defensively but they really didn't have that many chances.

We had more I think ( Sterling over the top,Dinho's header, Yaya over the top and there was the pen not given on Dinho) but generally we were messing up too much in the last 3rd and giving the ball away far too cheaply and far too often.

What a great 3 points though.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

That was a push on Mangala by Ighalo to concede the corner, not the only time he got away with blatant fouls on our centre halves. He scored against Spurs last week with the same tactics.
Awful performances from KDB, Aguero ( butt what a goal) and Yaya likewise. Sterling was wank too.
Also should have been a pen on Fern 1

Made up with that

Decent teams like Watford and Leicester?

Lucky to win the Prem? Fuck me were you around in 96?

[london blue 2]

Yeah replays showed the push was in the back. Foul all day.

[plf blue]

1-0 down 15 min to go lad said 2-1 city cost me £20 best i ever lost my fault for not keeping the faith
