interesting from Thierry Henry

[clevblue]

"I used to score 20 plus, then we lost some key players in the squad, and although I was scoring 25 goals, we were not winning the league. Kun Aguero scored 26 or 27, they did not win the league. The title that they won before, when Aguero was not scoring, Edin Dzeko was scoring, Carlos Tevez was scoring, so it was a kind of rotation. They could play sometimes Tevez and Aguero, Tevez and Dzeko or Dzeko and Aguero. What makes you win the league is the variety of strikers that you can have.

so that's the plan

[Swiss]

He didn't really give a critique of the way City will play, he just mentioned a load of strikers and Pellers names...

Our problems stemmed from Dzeko, Jovetic and Bony not scoring when they were on the pitch, can't say they weren't given time!
They also stemmed from a lack of goals from midfield.

Aguero, Silva and Toure were the only three to reach double figures (26,12,10)
