Sir Mikel OBE

top 3, yet as a squad I say they are much more balanced. Our squad seems to really be a few class players surrounded by absolute rubbish, much more blanace with theirs. Like even their true DMs, like Fernandinho and Fernando won't sit back and refuse to contribute to attack the way a Mikel does when we are on top.

Somebody who is threatening on the wings is exactly the type of player we need. Would like someone more mature in their game, but if the choice is between Sterling and Willian I would choose the former every time.

City can get by without strikers because they have midfielders who can score. Even their holding midfielders, like fernandinho, are living in the box when they get on top. Their midfielders, as a collective, are better than ours. Willian,Salah,Oscar, and even Schurrle wouldnt get in there for them.

It'll only be 3 or so levels if Özil is ever able to get fit again

Those stats are horrific, and beyond that, his attacking instincts/decision making are horrific. Not good enough to start here, and I am questioning whether or not he is even good enough to be here. and I say this as a Willian fan.

Sadly he had to give more if he wanted any chance at staying.

Well we need something.

My worry is that he will grow here, as he has, and then move elsewhere for the glory the way Ronaldo did. The people he playing with, in the front, are not good enough. He wouldnt want to waste his prime playing next to Oscar and Willian. Or even spending all his energy running back at full speed to make sure his back has cover. He does not have to do this if he does not want.

We gotta make this happen.

This has been his best. Just sad it came on a day like this. We need to spend some in this window. Not good enough around him.

Salah shooting straight at Lloris...

At least the window is open. We can fix this.

and thats 5 too.

Remy not even warming up. Why did we even sign him.

He's worried about it being a cricket score.

Kane...or Messi?

Ramires showing here he should be starting.

Cant even be mad. They are outplaying us at the moment. I don't know whats going on, but this just has not been good enough. Too open, taking it for granted.

Midfield is getting raped. Put on Mikel please.

Kane is turning into a nice striker.

Now that was world class from Hazard

true.

Shocked to see Schurrle out the squad completely. He had a terrible half last go around, but still that is interesting.

That right there hurt. His goals aside though City are looking like jokes. They are in trouble when Toure goes to the African cup of nations next week.

GOD DAMNIT!!!
