Special Juan 28,140 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Said to you all there is more slips up, but I also said we had to do our job. After another weekend of dropped points I bet they are kicking themselves hugely because anything can still happen.The stupid dropped points is a joke.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I don't think you can keep call it "slip ups" when it happens all the time, and not because of bad luck or something.. we're just not good enough. It could have happend a lot more with the football we played most of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 If the league finishes as it is then it's probably a fair representation of where we are as a team. City are a team at the peak of their development with an established spine before the season started (Hart, Kompany, Zab, Toure, Silva, Aguero) and Aguero has only started 19 league games for them, missing almost half of them.We're a team in the process of being built. Coming into the season we probably one had two players who would remain as part of the spine all season long - Cech and Hazard. JT was by no means the player he is now and Cahill didn't lock down that spot until December. Even Ivanovic was used as a CB as much as a right-back last season.In that sense this season has a fair amount in common with Ranieri's last season in charge....hopefully the comparisons continue.

Blue Traveler 256 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 In ideal world Jose should replace unfit Mata with fit same quality player.Mata was sold because he didnt fit in, but that doesnt change fact that we lost best player. We lost quality and it should be replaced with someone equal quality that fits the system.We should not sell a player in a January transfer window ever again even our shittest players! that is the problem of selling your best players with no proper replacement.

Special Juan 28,140 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 The issue with Mata was simple, he didn't fit Jose's plans whether people like it or not, he was a huge cash kitty sat on the bench that the club chose to take advantage of. People also forget that Jose and Mata spoke about what was best for both parties and he was allowed to leave. Now lets not get this mis-translated with he was shit, he wasn't, but a player that can fetch the sort of money he could doesn't deserve to be benched, good or not. Some of this cash was used to buy Matic and if people argue against that then I am sorry but that was a fucking quality buy.You can argue all day about what he may, or may not of done, we will never know because Jose didn't think he was fitting of the role and thus was sold. This is also a WC year were he must be playing to have any chance, it wasn't happening here so the decision was right IMO from both parties.

But i honestly fail to see why Mata benefited at all. Is it just because he plays football now week in week out? Very low standards if that's the case considering where he's playing, where he will not be playing next season and ONLY IF the new manager decides to favour him.

It's been that annoying feeling all season of knowing that you are very unlikely to win it but you're still in it and have the pressure on your shoulders to win.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 This is how you win games vs defensive teams like Aston Villa. Play with width. Fullbacks making proper over-lapping runs. Look at the overlaps that Zabaleta made for both Dzeko goals. Ivanovic hasn't done anywhere near enough of that this season. Ivanovic's final ball is rubbish, he doesn't make penetrative runs and his defensive work is overrated. Zabaleta can both attack and defend. So can Azpilicueta. We need Azpilicueta back playing his natural position next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
