C`MON BLUES! Show me some 11/12 defense...

IT CANT BE 5-2-3 VS 3-5-2, IT WOULD BE JUST PATHETIC. I think it can be 4-3-3 , 3-4-3 or 3-6-1...

I know I might be way out of line, but it could be a 4-3-3. Btw, Danny is out.

I thought it was SAF that raped everyone else, not the other way around.

Same here

PLEASE TELL ME YOU MADE THIS UP!

Well, this is a bigger and more agressive conversation. Everytime there is a pub discussion about it, it ends in a fight! I dont know where he wants to go comparing us with 82 and Barcelona, but that team was just brilliant.

1982 DID NOT WIN THE WORLD CUP, TOO BAD FOR THE WORLD CUP! SIMPLY THE BEST NATIONAL TEAM IN FOOTBALL HISTORY...

LOL Luiz would never recover from the freedom he would have!

I want him to substitute Sturridge (if he leaves, which seem probable). I agree we need a class clinical finisher for our team! That does not mean he is a bad striker, he has a very accurate shot and has all the atributes necessary to succeed in our team (movement, technique, finish, header, etc). I dream of Falcao/Cavani + Jovetic + Lukaku (loan)

We would actually give Torres away, that is how much we have had of him... Great Q&A by the way.

Sturridge deserves Torres spot, but we can only expeculate what passes in RDM`s mind. THAT DOES NOT CONFORT ME EITHER...

I agree EPL refs are being horrible this season, but I advise you to see Internacioal x Palmeiras (Brazileirao) or Seattle x LA (MLS)...

= Bertrand and Ramires on the wing again? I HOPE NOT

100% agree, but I am telling you one of them will be unhappy. Of course we would be fully prepared for any casuality, but that was how City thought. Look at them now, everyweek we have news of either Tevez, Dzeko or Balloteli.

I agree they are better, although we only play 1 striker at a time. 3 good strikers will make us like ManCity (4 strikers, 2 playing and 1 always extremely unhappy).

I just hope you heard it from BBC or SkySports and not from Goal, Mirror or The Sun...

Not really. Maybe Sturridge was not 100%, he did not see him performing for more than 10 minutes, still trusted Torres, etc. RDM is with the team everyday, there is always things he sees that us (fans) dont.

Falcao/Cavani + Jovetic + Lukaku (loan). Striker problems fixed!

TO SUM UP: JUVE MID WEEK...

LOL, SONG JUST SCORED FOR BARCELONA! Barça 2-1 Zaragoza

@, you seem a bit alone in this thread... How is the game?

You forgot some zeros there. More like 390000000000th best CFC player ever!

1. Possession does not translate to good performance, we passed to the side and to wrong directions most of the times. No changing of position or infiltration to disorganize their system, Torres didnt go out of the box to open their defensive line, lack of long distance shots, etc. 2. We did not create enough chances and the ones created werent that clear, besides Sturridge at the end. 3. Most of our shots were off target and only 3 or 4 were real difficult shots. Again, if you look at how many chances big teams create and look at their convertion, we will be behind both. 4. Unlucky is not the right term, inaccurate works better. Also, there were no penalties. 5. They were clinical, but that was their purpose in the game (defend and score when there is chance). We are the one to blame for not stopping it. Should we have lost the UCL because we played the same way vs. Bacelona and Bayern? 6. Cahill and Luiz made silly mistakes (positioning, marking, air balls, cover, etc.) and our double pivot was not offering any resistence to their counters, they passed through it like hot knife and butter. 7. Oscar underperformed, that made our midfield lose a bit control at the end. 8. RDM did what he could, but if he was a bit more energetical at the sideline, we could have inflated the game a lot more. 9. No heart or will. Besides Mata, Azi and Sturridge it seemed that nobody was too bothered to have lost. I think we did enough to draw, but we clearly did not perform well and did not deserved the win. We must give credit to Steve Clark for what he was able to do.

1ST PLACE: MUST WIN QUALIFICATION: MUST DRAW
