City away at The Potters

[KunDB]

Delph on yes.

Kelechi yes.

Navas no.

It is not all over but I fear Pelle reacts too slow too late to events.

We need to attack from a solid base in defence, Pelle just does not get that.

C'mon City.

[KunDB]

brilliant answer that!!

I despair in Pelegrini's faith and belief in proven failed players like Bony (and some from the past) and his insistence on keeping on playing them.

We all want Bony to suceed but we all can see he just is not up to the job.

[gavin]

I honestly don't see City getting anything out of this at all. Whenever we have threatened they have almost immediately had an easier chance to score again.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Our tempo certainly needs to lift - with quicker decision making and more accurate passing. Stoke are simply out running us most of the time. More energy needed - harder work - get into the fuckers.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

No changes then - Pellers has some balls (or he's stupid)

[ebm1991]

Not seen good in Bony at all in a City shirt.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

I can't remember when I last saw us consistently pass the ball this badly - over and over again.

[Lekos]

Didn't watch the first half, but it was obviously shit.

From what I've seen in the second half, defence is a shambles, Stoke second guessing our passes in the final third, Bony is pish and Sterling is an off the bench player (at the moment).

I hope the above all changes very quickly.

[Ludo]

Why's he taking Fernandinho off?

[Lekos]

I was thinking the same

[Ludo]

The one thing we lack in midfield is a bit of hustle and Fernando certainly doesn't have that.

[Ludo]

Silva off, so now we have to play 3 different systems inside 15 minutes....

[goat]

words fail me today

[Lekos]

Bloody hell. Should be 3 down there.

[goat]

was never a fan of mancini but at least he flapped his arms a bit and shouted, pelle looks tired and confused

[Ludo]

Was going to say we're down to ten men but we already were.

[Lekos]

And now fernando is off. Should have been subbed ages ago.

Down to 10, absolutely shambolic.

[Swiss]

Why are we pumping long balls in this wind...

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Because our players have little brains...
