Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 West Brom will go down this season imo. Pulis is the most limited manager in the League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,941 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 We played like this in the first half of last season but we've been terrible ever since Spurs hammered us on New Years, Swansea away the only exception.So frustrating.I think having a proper, creative #10 like Silva would be huge of course. We don't have that wizard in the hole that can dictate the game. Cesc was doing it in the first half of last season but is woefully out of form now.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 God we're going to hear so much "city have that we don't" all week.It's amazing how frail some fans can be, almost like kids. Man up ffs. iseah100 and DYC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 IMO only Aguëro and Costa are better strikers in this league than Bony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Effortlessly keeping the ball and choosing when to go for the kill, it's very easy this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll destroy these types of teams with ease. Even without Aguero and any other new signings they make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attacking was never their weakness. This kind of attitude from the opposition is perfect for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Said it before and I'll say it again. Yaya Toure is comfortably City's main man. Neither Silva or Aguero are as impactful as he is on games. When he's fully fit & in form they challenge for the title. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of attitude from the opposition is perfect for them.And this is how every small team is going to play against them. They're terrified before they even kick off. They know if they don't play defensively they'll be carved apart and even when they do play defensively like WBA are here, they're shit and City still dominate.Teams were terrified of us until the new year last season but many have found out that if they press our slow midfield and attack with pace from wide areas they can punch us in the teeth. The personnel we have just can't dominate the ball this easily and pass teams to death. kellzfresh, zolayes, Shakez and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The personnel we have just can't dominate the ball this easily and pass teams to death.You're completely wrong tbh.Did you watched City last season? thats not how most small teams are playing against them, its very stupid to play like WBA are playing today. They dont press, they're not putting any effort to get the ball, they dont seem to want to attack.Last season City lost lots of points because of the small teams counter attacking them, having a real go at their defense, not giving them any credit because they knew their central midfield is a walk in the park, and their defense is very shaky.If what you're saying was the truth, City wouldnt be out of the title race since January.What happend since new year in Chelsea is a lot more complicated and bigger than "Teams found out what to do against us". In short, Mourinho gave up on attractive football because he was too cautious, wanted to win the title and wasnt sure we can keep going as we did until the new year.

robdog 2,084 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 just curious if many on this site still believe Sterling is worth £49M? I never did & still don't after watching him play today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The personnel we have just can't dominate the ball this easily and pass teams to death.We just need one good midfielder who can hold the ball under pressure in the middle and still create (modric, Koke) but they are damn scarce. We need another Ashley Cole to help against those fast wingers too. Hopefully with baba we'll solve one problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
