Manchester City v Sunderland (Kick Off: 3pm)

Xavi6 · 22-03-2009 2:28pm #1

A must win game for us really with West Ham dropping points yesterday and Fulham winning. Massive injury problems for us with Stephen Ireland and Wayne Bridge doubtful after suffering knocks midweek. Vincent Kompany is still having problems with his toe and Nigel De Jong is out, though Craig Bellamy may feature.

Possible line up -

Given

Richards

Dunne

Onouha

Garrido

Zabaleta

Wright-Phillips

Elano

Vassell

Robinho

Evans

Suns: Hart, Caicedo, Fernandes, Berti, Weiss, Bellamy, Bojinov.

Looking at that I really hope Superman is good to go.

Im hoping for a Sunderland win but that probably wont happen so meh..

redout · 22-03-2009 2:42pm

Sparky in the NOTW saying he will start to drop Robinho unless he starts to perform better.

Xavi6 · 22-03-2009 2:44pm

Rightly so tbh. Petrov starts full training this week so we will have other options.

Ah now that's a bit much.

Apparently Bojinov is starting today. I'll wince every time he kicks the ball.

no, ive really lost patience with him, hes just the same as elano, so much talent and no heart, i think its bad for the team to have a player like that.

yeah i keep thinking boj is gonna break something everytime he gets near the ball, huge fella though, hopefully he can make a go of it for the rest of the season.

It'd be typical of City to sign the world's most expensive player then ship him out after one season in which he was the top scorer.

Only we could have fans complaining about someone like Robinho. Short memories seem to forget Mark Kennedy, Rick Holden and Peter Beagrie who played in same position before him.

Is Superman injured ?

bigstar · 22-03-2009 3:31pm

the difference with those players is that their talent only went so far, robinho could the best player in the world and to play the way he has since xmas is criminal to me. he just doesnt care, no matter how a good a player is he has to want to play, a lot of times robihno doesnt.

Yeah he hurt his ankle badly on Thursday when one of the Aalborg players landed on it. He finished out the game but it was heavily strapped. Should only miss today's game.

bigstar · 22-03-2009 3:34pm

boj is starting? this should be interesting. good to see kompany is playing he and de jong are class in the centre

I'm not buying it that Robinho doesn't care sometimes. His tracking back has been superb over the last two months and he is much more aware defensively than when he first joined.

If you watch the aftermath of the Aalborg shoot out he was one of the first over to Given, absolutely chuffed we got through.

Players go through rough spells. Robinho is double marked in every game he plays and is not going to have everything his own way once he gets "found out" by defenders. It's part and parcel of the game. I fully believe however that he will score more goals before the end of the season and hope he goes nowhere in the summer.

Anyone know how to find games on veetle ? If you use search nothing appears !

bigstar · 22-03-2009 3:41pm

well i think were watching two different players, id love it if he came good but i dont think he will.

But is he not already good? He's out top scorer and has been excellent for the majority of games.

I really think the expectations for him are too high, especially when people moan when he doesn't turn it on every game.

@ redout: No idea about veetle at all

majority, no. away from home hes almost non existent, so thats half all games and recently at home hes been poor too. i dont like lazy players, sooner or later they cost you games and imo hes cost us a few already. i dont expect him to be great eery game, irelands been hands down our best player and even he has the odd off game but you know hes trying to win every match.
look it doenst matter well disagree, hell probably have a stormer today and ill have to eat my words

Why the fuck didn't Elano take it?!

redout · 22-03-2009 4:23pm

Lucky as ****. My link just openes as he was stepping up for the peno. Just saw reply and it was a definite peno. Robinho reminded me of Ronaldo against Chelsea in the final last year.

The last link u posted has been working perfect for me ever since the Peno.

Xavi6 · 22-03-2009 4:55pm

Yeah I'm up and running now.

Just saw the highlights. Definite peno, SWP shoulda scored when through, and Boj looks quality.

De Jong/Kompany off, Bellers on please.

bigstar · 22-03-2009 4:55pm

good few chances in the first half, have to get something from this. expecting better from sunderland in the second half though. SWP looks the only chance of something

redout · 22-03-2009 5:17pm

LoL at Robinho

Xavi6 · 22-03-2009 5:18pm
