At Southampton

[KunDB]

4 goals conceded a real boost for RM game, of course he cares.

Eggs all in one basket now ----- beat Arsenal or risk losing CL spot to the tags.

[Swiss]

Otamendi wants to be a cm and Mangala can't hold theI e for shit

[KunDB]

Kelechi shing like the star he is.

Bony and 9 others not arsed.

[Ludo]

The boys a gem

[KunDB]

How disappointing is Sterling. A real let down.

[Ludo]

Very much so, especially today.

[goat]

thank fuck thats over

[KunDB]

Lest said the better.

[lee]

diazepam anyone?

[goat]

if he runs and puts effort in aye,  sign him

hes the new nasri

[Neil Mcnab]

How long is Kelechis contract for and no why no team mates celebrating when he scores. If you are not happy at your workplace, you move on. Be warned City management.

Sterling a bit like Nasri, started alright when he signed, then nothing. Might have a gem of a game once in a bluemoon.

Bony is like Samaras, with less hair.

If a lot of these players are playing for their future, they are not doing themselves any favours.

[gavin]

Fucking disgraceful. Pellegrini has gone right down in my estimation. This and the Chelsea Cup game are unforgivable.

[Swiss]

I'm sure we all know about the negatives today; all too often have we seen similar performances this season.

But positives, we're at the end of the season 

Obvs Nacho, this Kid isn't going to be big for us, he already is!

Things can be worse, very much so. But I don't think it's likely atm.

[bluebrendan]

Positives :

Iheanacho, no need to buy a No.2 striker for next season
Pellegrini - he's leaving at the end of the season

Negatives:
The rest of the shite
Pellegrini - he should have left at the end of last season

[Ludo]

I can understand the need to 'rest' players but at such a crucial point in the season it seems pointless. De Bruyne's had a long layoff and Sergio's itching to be top scorer, I'm sure they both could have started along with Navas.

Wonder how many Madrid rested yesterday.

[Swiss]

Positives :

Iheanacho, no need to buy a No.2 striker for next season

With Bony on the out, we'll still need another striker.
If Nacho can continue to establish himself, it may be that we still look to the youth team instead of splashing the bucks on another striker.

Faupala - 1 app, 1 goal (V Chelsea in the FA Cup) - age 19
Unal - 10 apps, 9 goals (on loan at NAC Breda) - age 18

I did like the tenacity Faupala showed in the cup. Hard to judge Unal in that league but still impressive.

With 8 players needing to be Home Grown (association trained), 4 of these being trained at the club (CT) for 3 years before their 21st. it might be an idea to promote a couple of other youths.

HG & CT players are:

Joe Hart - HG (Joined at 19, too late to be considered CT)
Fabien Delph - HG
Gael Clichy - HG
Richard Wright - HG
Raheem Sterling - HG

Ian Nacho - (From 10/Jan/17 he will have been with us 3 years so not HG & CT until then)

Technically we have 0 CT players, meaning we may only be able to take a 21 man squad into the champ league next year again (Providing we qualify).

So we definitely have room for 4 CT players from the youth team, if they qualify.

[bluebrendan]

Ian Nacho - (From 10/Jan/17 he will have been with us 3 years so not HG & CT until then)

Unfortunately the info about Nacho is incorrect, he didn't get a UK work permit until Feb 2015, after his 18th birthday and as such he will never be eligible as CT.

[goat]

and being nigerian hes probably 28

[KunDB]

Fucking disgraceful. Pellegrini has gone right down in my estimation. This and the Chelsea Cup game are unforgivable.

I lost faith long before those games due to his tactics (or lack of) and stubborness (only one way to play) and most of all his insistence on playing a non-performing non-trying Bony ahead of Iheanacho (who he is now trying to steal credit for playing).

Nice guy but not the ideal manager I want at City.

[bluebrendan]

and being nigerian hes probably 28

Harsh, he looks quite young without the attempt at a beard.
