City match thread

[dom9]

Lovren is nowhere for the City goal. Was excellently worked though.

We've been wasteful in front of goal which is unsurprising considering we're playing without a striker.

Well, we were equally wasteful on Thursday when we had 2 strikers on the pitch.

That goal Skrtel steps out when he shouldn't and I've no idea what Can was doing both poor for the goal but it was a good move from City.

There's no such thing. Enjoy the ride. It's a good game.

Oh, I´m enjoying it. No worries.

Henderson should be getting ten goals a season, imagine the difference that would make. Sterling needs to put his foot through the ****ing ball. The pitch is rock hard, why haven't they watered it? City are hard to get the ball off. Not sure where we can change to get better. Lallana is no good in markovic position, so that's not an option. Need a forward on at some stage.

they probably have watered it but it just dries out so fast that after 10mins or so it is as if they never bothered.

[Doc_Piptorious]

We are matching them in terms of play, so still a genuine 50/50 game.

As much as they are causing us problems when they come forward, we are causing them just as many when we attack.

Given the quality they have in attacking positions, I think our defence has done fairly well and a few dodgy moments have to be expected when you have the likes of Aguero, Dzeko, Nasri, and Silva coming at you.

We didn't have the chances on Thursday that we've had today.

All Can, in dreamland.

Yep, Can looked inexperienced there and Skrtel was shocking, he had no awareness of the situation at all. He pretty much had Dzeko but didnt even bother looking!

Ah right, fair enough. I guess too much water and it kicks up and gets worse still. The pitch doesn't do the way we want to play any favours. Take air out of the balls?

Sturridge could have had 3 goals if he was on form. Which he wasn't. Which could be why he isn't playing today.

Mixture of the two, Skrtel stepping out when next to him was awful but no idea what Can was up to

[vlahka]

To be fair I doubt Can was expecting Skrtel to suddenly move out of position. He couldnt cover that much ground.

More Can for me, hold the line and it doesn't happen. He was miles behind the rest even before the ball was played to Dzeko.

Skrtel didn't hold the line he stepped out past Dzeko

Skrtel just needs to hold and he intercepts that; Aguero was being tracked and offered zero threat.
