Shurrle, Please

That is just a shame to see that disappointed face. Just let him go in January. Mata off, Oscar In

We like to think of us as a counter-attacking side when we are most vulnerable to the opposite counter in the first place. Not just today. But our attacking today is red hot. Way to inspire us, City

Hope the finishing doesn't come and haunt us after the 90

Sperone instinctively applauded that strike from Rami.

Let's just hope our very own Ferno have a similar game like City's Ferno. Too much to ask, i guess.

Scary scenes at the bridge. The big fucking German was of no use today. Well done, City. Fancied a draw though

YOU SAID IT BEST, BROTHER SUCK ON THAT

That's one special car.

Its time we give Schurrle a consistent run in the side. Hope he's fit and starting for this one.

Hate to see him as a passenger here. Only going to dampen his memories.

Not sure we are going to let Ba go unless we sign a striker in January. Eto'o's pretty much gone in the summer unless he becomes uber productive in the second half of the season. He was a temporary thing anyway. I seriously doubt Torres staying beyond the summer if another striker comes and we keep Lukaku next season. Bring in Rooney, keep Lukaku and Ba and we're good to do. Wazza- Lukaku- Ba seem pretty versatile.

Absolutely. He can whip in goals with his long legs but does seem quite stiff at times.

Fine, bro. It seems that you can't get over the fact that Falcao is a better striker than Benzema, be it holding up the ball or finishing or passing. And both vids doesn't do enough justice to the arguments. Real is one of my fav teams in Europe and I've watched enough Benzema to know how good he is but don't think he is a better all rounder than Falcao. Period.

and keep him fit. But Nastasic- Kompany is a pretty decent partnership. Not sure how Demichelis and Kompany are going to partner up but the only area that needs any sort of reinforcement, at the Ethihad, is the CB dept.

I completely agree on the fact that they're two completely different strikers. Benzema does better on the counter and Falcao does well in those 1v1 situations and has killer striker abilities and is a better dribbler than Benzema IMO. That video you embedded shows just how good Benzema is on the counter. http://youtu.be/S-lsMf8-SR4 From this video, I count more goals from sort of balanced play rather than counter-attacks. Most of his goals are from his abilities on the ball and finishing skills. Like I said he creates his own goals from half chances with his killer first touch which, clearly, cannot be said about Benzema.

Now you're pulling reverse psychology to get ahead on an argument. Not gonna work on me, mate.

Slaps of joy

That's what i meant, but you know what, i should given more clarity to my statement. Also that line came out of my frustrations. No offence intended, Barbara. :heart:

You want me to stop words in my post when clearly you are the one doing that. When did i say he can't play on both sides of the pitch? Its just insane that you have come up with some stats for Benzema which has clearly nothing to do with this argument here. He might be a masterclass counter attacking threat, but coming to link up play, Falcao is way better( I'm making that comparison here because i never put Benzema down in the first place, it was more like a comparison to Falcao) Rest of your post is blah blah, makes no sense. p.s. i dunno why i made those words bold.

You're making Benzema sound like fucking Ozil here. He never constantly provide assists and all the more, when Ronaldo is at the receiving end, he'll convert even half chances( you said that yourself) and such goals have more to do with the actual goalscorer than the man with the assist.

So you're whole point is based on the fact that Benzema is living in the shadows of Ronaldo and was being treated unfairly by being rotated with Higuain. Still doesn't make him a proven world class goal scorer like Falcao.

Suit yourself. I reckon Falcao does a whole lot to the team than just scoring, miles ahead of Benzema's contributions.
