Magic Lamps

City move all their players so quickly to create space, we always indulge in static play and individual brilliance fuck we have to score this

maan for this freekick alone it is a shame we lost mata... and do not play oscar

Yeah our last win here was in 2008. With Lamps and Deco ruling the midfield. City had just bought robinho, who also scored a freekick. It took an epic performance to grab that 3-1 win, even though City were only a fraction of what they are now

Willian is not focused enough

fuck man, this is demichelis? he plays like a beast today

they are fuckin scary with their power and speed.

They are quite a team, but no team with demichelis in it is invulnerable. they play 2 strikers, 2 wingers who can't defend and no defensive midfielder. This is not the match to park the bus.

most important game of the season. I hope we are up to it. We lack our midfield general, so I am curious how we will architect our play.

No fernandinho and no agüero, this is the time to go at City and no Oscar?

This.    Germany, Spain and Brazil kinda do this. No wonder they fuckin produce the majority of quality talent.    By having the kids play professional football, they get used to the physical demands of it without having to play a type of game they will never have to play again. This does not make the loan system obsolete, but this way, talents can skip those loans to 2nd or 3rd tier teams which often do more harm then good, cos playing together with players who are actually a lot less talented than you does not really enhance your skills just as much as playing against players with just as little experience. Having a Chelsea II in league one or CC would combine the advantages of experienced opponents and talented teammates.    Of course this would be detrimental to the smaller clubs. Still the FA is very inconsistent, They usually allow the evolution of football but in this very aspect they inhibit an idea that would actually help the competitiveness of English football on club and international level. 

He should have never started this game. With WHam only sitting back, we could just as well played with no holding midfielder + started Lamps and Luiz. The latter would have come in handy, cos he is so unpredictable. When lamps came on for Mikel the game changed immediately and we actually got chances.

No but him being as fast running forward as me when I run backwards does^^ The question is whether a direct replacement of lamps is what we need considering Lamps has not exactly been at his best when forced to play in a pivot.

Our only hope is Agüero being injured. he has been put off at halftime, I hope it is serious. We have to pray for a massive implosion of City's in order to get another shot at the title after this needless draw a serious injury to agüero would be a first step.

I get your point Cleve, but even if it sounds ridiculous after his torrid performance today, I consider ramires as the better match for Matic, cos his pace and drive complement Matic's disciplined, methodic approach better. Kroos is too similar to Matic. Also Ramires is the better tackler. That is why I'd prefer Ramires to Kroos in a pivot. Still I'd love Kroos to come here, especially if lamps leaves. Honestly, Kroos is a good shooter, but on papaer, Lamps, oscar and Hazard are too, still their finishing was shit today, so if we had had Kroos today, I doubt the outcome would have been any different.

My concerns about Ivanovic actually being the weak link in the team aggravate with every game. I acknowledge, he is big and strong and a force in the air, but offensively he is inconsistent at best and not really a better defender than Azpiliceuta. I hope the imminent signing of another left back will free Azpilicueta to return to his preferred right side.

He can shoot and pass, but he is about as fast as me running backwards (No shit actually happened at BAyern public training). Also he is not a player for the pivot. He surely CAN play there, but he truly is a no10 or an offensive no8. He is pretty similar to a younger Lampard, even though he will probably never reach that level. But true, much more than Mata he might be scary in a Utd shirt, even though I guess you can not play both in the same team anyway, cos they are both slow and not exactly defensive monsters with high workrates. Can't see him fit in here, or in the epl at all. I'd much rather expect him to stay at Bayern.

We stil have time to get in a fuckin striker who can actually score a goal when it matters. Recall Bamford or whoever. I feel even Fernando " I shit myself in front of goal" Torres would have scored today. OUr finishing is a major problem throughout the team and has been since 2012. Also how come that every bloody average EPL keeper has the game of his life against us. Not that he had to make too many too difficult saves, but usually against Utd or City, he would have let one of those in without anyone complaining. Maaan a player like Guarin would have been handy today too. Shit in general, but with so much power in his foot that one of his shots surely would have been deflected in.

This is the game we blew it. Multiple times. This has been ManCitys title from the very beginning, but I expected us to be in the hunt much longer. It just wasn't meant to be. Normally, Lamps tucks that one home blindfolded. But when you can't even beat a pathetic WHU team that just collects in the box and blocks shots, you don't deserve to be champions. I have seen many of those frustrating matches, but this one is especially bad, cos West Ham actually performed so incredibly shit.

We can just already congratulate City to the title. They are far too good to fuck it up now. We were always the ones to fuck it up because of our lack of goalthreats, I just did not expect us to do so that early.

definitely our fault. lampard had to score that. no excuses

we simply blew it

i feel the title is gone now. I am 1,90 and never considered myself as especially tall, actually its a common height in Germany. but tall enough to impress girls.

can we please refrain from shooting and play for a handball penalty. always worked in fifa 11

where i come from about 15 percent of all men are 1,88 or taller. People usually start to get problems with their joints hence looking clumsy when they are above 1,90

we can only hope for one of west hams players to fuck it up, surely we will not win this on our own merit
