Match thread, Sunderland away

gavin · September 22, 2015, 19:45:45

CITY XI: Caballero, Sagna, Otamendi, Demichelis, Kolarov, Fernando, Toure, Navas, De Bruyne, Sterling, Aguero

CITY SUBS: Wright, Maffeo, Fernandinho, Evans, M.Garcia, Barker, Roberts

gavin · September 22, 2015, 19:47:16

Roberts should be starting but hopefully we'll see him get a decent run at some stage. City wearing the rancid greeny yellow.

Stephen Paul · September 22, 2015, 19:54:44

Aguerooooooo

gavin · September 22, 2015, 19:55:36

Sergio scores pen. He could have a few already. Navas was brought down right on the edge of the box.

The Blue Blooded Maniac · September 22, 2015, 19:56:43

Take kun off now

Stephen Paul · September 22, 2015, 20:08:58

The Blue Blooded Maniac · September 22, 2015, 20:12:36

The city fans sound great

The Blue Blooded Maniac · September 22, 2015, 20:19:37

Got to make some sub's now at half time

Stephen Paul · September 22, 2015, 20:20:51

the City fans are the only ones left in the ground

gavin · September 22, 2015, 20:21:16

Funny thing is Sunderland looked quite dangerous for a bit. Now 3-0.

Stephen Paul · September 22, 2015, 20:22:45

De Bruyne running the show. class

gavin · September 22, 2015, 20:24:59

Nice to see Sterling put away the fourth. Even Navas might score in this.

Stephen Paul · September 22, 2015, 20:27:24

aguero miss of the season l

Swiss · September 22, 2015, 20:34:11

Swiss · September 22, 2015, 20:53:25

Ah, need an adobe update

Stephen Paul · September 22, 2015, 21:00:27

Advocat could be the first manager to be sacked

Stephen Paul · September 22, 2015, 21:02:51

Patrick Roberts on for Jesus

Swiss · September 22, 2015, 21:38:47

Typical, the only goal I see is the Sunderland one!

Still, good for the kids to get a run out

gavin · September 22, 2015, 21:41:36

disappointing second half, especially to concede but we're through without injury so alls good really.

Stephen Paul · September 22, 2015, 21:54:00

great result , next Spuds

Swiss · September 22, 2015, 22:22:32

good to get back to winning ways

zacc · September 23, 2015, 11:28:23

What is nice about that game is...

Kun got a goal under his belt

KDB got an assist and a goal

Sterling got an assist and a goal

Then the own goal, not sure to award the assist to Sterling as it was his shot that bounced off the post, or to award it to KDB as it was his through ball. Maybe .5 each!

Tricky Trev · September 23, 2015, 20:06:49

Pluss the ever so hated Jesus got us going by getting a penalty. Lovely kit

Swiss · September 23, 2015, 20:59:27

TBF, I don't think anyone hates Navas! He seems a nice guy, but his final ball is lacking and his finishing is woeful. Must contribute mor to the team.

what percentage of importance would you calculate those in terms of level of importance Swiss, based on;

A) The game & competition

and

B) The season as a whole

Swiss · September 23, 2015, 23:19:39

What is nice about that game is...

Kun got a goal under his belt (A) 90% : good to get an early first goal. (B) 100% to get Kun back to scoring ways

KDB got an assist and a goal (A) & (B) 100% good for him to settle in quickly and start providing/scoring

Sterling got an assist and a goal: (A) & (B) 100% needed a pick me up and killed the game off

Then the own goal, not sure to award the assist to Sterling as it was his shot that bounced off the post, or to award it to KDB as it was his through ball. Maybe .5 each! (A) & (B) 75% good work and let our opposition know not to over commit, which stops them attacking us

Ludo · September 23, 2015, 23:32:53

If Aguero had put away that sitter it would have been a lot more important for his confidence.

As it stands he's taken Dzekos shirt number and inherited his feet.

Based on your equations and other variable's would you surmise it would be a roller coaster season or one which will be more constant in terms of predictable eventualities/outcomes?

Swiss · September 24, 2015, 20:42:38

I estimate that there will only be a few downward curves, but that they might be major.
