They thought we'd park the bus? No we bought our Ferrari's and Lamborghinis instead. Performance of the season!!!!

WHAT AN AMAZING FEELING, GET IN!!!
Over three years since City last failed to score at home, have some of that you arrogant little cunts. Time to go visit Bluemoon and enjoy the meltdown, me thinks. They were so sure they would beat us by 5 goals...
Oh, and where are the doubters again? Proven wrong by Jose once again, will these people ever learn?

EAT A DICK MANCHESTER

GETTT INNNNN!!!!!!!

"I had other offers but Mourinho is Mourinho"

1/3 some media in belgium always play down their countrymen
2/3 dont forget the defense in Epl isn't always that sharp/strong #areyouserious?!?
3/3 Lukaku got the motm award but had a tough first hour. He got a lot of compliments though....
4/4 and then they wonder why I prefer to talk to the english press
5/5 a good thing not all fans are as negative as you guys ;-)
Et voila!

I don't get your stance really, he doesn't deserve to start, that is all. Do you go to the training sessions to know if he's doing alright? Is he showing he deserves to be on the team? Mourinho dropped him because he probably deserved to be dropped in an overall point of view. He needs to improve regardless, and when he plays he needs to show it.
And stop stereotyping fans, it's really dumb, all fans are different. Except arsenal fans, fuck them.

Embarrasing

Please be true! The kid deserves the chance, he's earned it with his hard work.

Edin Dzeko/Mario Gomez at £15m >>>>>> Cavani at £55 million, or whatever his fee is.
Absolutely absurd money. Why not just buy safe? Have we not learned from Shevchenko/Torres?!

Another great performance with the NT for Kevin. He plays so much better with Belgium with all the quality players around him as opposed to Bremen where his teammates often let him down. I still can't for the life of me understand why we are considering loaning him out when we need him in out team next season.

This completely uncalled for. This kind of offensive language is strictly against forum rules and will not be tolerated. If you can't argue respectfully, then don't do so at all.

Lighten up, it's just a nickname.
It's far better than the atrocious 'Mazascar' anyway.

move your arse before the video is taken down!

Yes, his defensive inefficiency can be explained by the fact he is "too small and weak". However, that's not all. I believe that his problems in this matter are not only down to physical issues. To illustrate what Mata lacks to be good defensivly, I'll take an example : Pedro Rodriguez. He is roughly the same size as Mata, and seems to have more or less the same body (I mean in term of muscles, shoulders, etc... See the picture below).

They seem to have the same body bulk. Yet, when it comes to defensive abilities, it's kinda like comparing the night and the day. Indeed, Mata is known to be poor at the defensive job while Pedro, in my honest opinion, is one of, if not the best, forwards in the game when it comes to defensive efficiency. Yeah, it's easy to hate this guy but his work rate is splendid and efficient (and underrated as well).
Despite the fact that Pedro is significantly faster (and has more pace) than Mata, I deeply believe that the differences between them are at a psychological/mental level. I believe that Mata lacks mental features that make Pedro so good in this matter : the aggressiveness and the will. Pedro isn't afraid to go and battle for the ball against someone who's 1,90 m and 85 kg (just an example huh), and even if he fails to dispossess his opponent the first time, he will right away try again. On the other hand, Mata is way too soft and kind — and passive as well. When he goes and challenges an opponent, you can see that his heart isn't 100% in it. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that he doesn't give a fuck and is thinking to something else ; no, it's in the sens that he's too shy, he's on his back foot. Though, maybe if he were to have more muscles, he would be more confident and more incisive...
And finaly, into my eyes, he isn't made for the defense ; he doesn't understand Defense — just like some people don't understand Mathematics (you certainly had in your class someone who always had poor grades in Math, no matter what they were doing) or like some people cannot draw in 3D, etc... I spend a lot of time being focused on players' defensive contribution, especially forwards/midfielders. That is these observations that makes me think that Mata and Defense cannot get along (just like me and Finances lol). When he does try, his contribution is always 'off' ; he is always a few seconds/inches late. He is not in the flow, not in the rythme — just like Kyle Broflovski when he tries to dance ! That's why I say he doesn't "understand" Defense (not in the sens "he's dumb"). And also, his positionning is off, too. That's imo wherein lies the difference between him, and players like Pedro, Iniesta and Xavi.

For the next 10 days, Fernando Torres is a reigning World Cup, European Championship, Champions League and Europa League winner.
The first player ever to achieve this haul.

Since December hes been a different animal, he wasnt in the starting XI much in the beginning as it was working very well starting Long and bring Lukaku on after about an hour. People critising him are crazy, hes 19 FFS!! hes not been absolutely perfect and nor should he be. But hes been fantastic, got a super attitude and hes grown into the season.
There probably isnt much hope of him returning but he'll always be a Albion hero!
