Talib Fiasco

Typical after we go 2 up...it always happens

blueser

Two cracking finishes.

SEPT 23 1989

:mad:

Talib Fiasco

Disaster

Slicemeister

"Go easy on me today" says Poyet to Lampard I'm sure. ðŸ˜႒

Talib Fiasco

Jojo off and we need a goal...aww our luck is always out

Talib Fiasco

Frank Lampard I love you...get in

blueser

And again, we go to pieces when we should be killing the game off.

*edit* GET IN FRANK!

SEPT 23 1989

Bit early in the day to be drinking

Talib Fiasco

I think Frank could well be in with a shout as starting striker :P Getting in great positions and very unlucky not to have scored another goal or two!

blueser

Pants having a stormer on his return to the Etihad.


Damn him!

Talib Fiasco

Finishing letting us down...we could have about 4/5 more goals regardless of Costel having a belter

Talib Fiasco

That'll do! One of the best 45 mins of football I've seen all year....ugh I mean season :P

Take Your Pants Off

I think Milner should improve on his finishing.
It is not just this game but in most of them hes a well round good player. Always contributing,assists etc. But if he just inproves on his finishing he would be even better and more goals would be coming our way.
A well deserved win.
What did ye guys think of Cabarello, better then Pants ?

SEPT 23 1989

come on you Spurs

stiffler123

Spectacular collapse by Chelsea:pac:

Talib Fiasco

We're on top if it stays at 4-2 right? It's gas the amount of Chelsea fans who were celebrating winning the title in October.

stiffler123

5-2:D

Talib Fiasco

Above all else it makes up for our official induced slip up against Burnley. The game in February is gonna be massive. Full team for that please (including Yaya )

Not really, actually. If anything, the Chelsea result tonight just makes the fcukup against Burnley all the more annoying.No offence to any Burnley fans (your team were well worth their point), but we shouldn't be chucking away a two goal lead in the second half against a team in the bottom two of the PL. Those are the sorts of slip-ups that can cost titles.

Damn you guys, all the results went your way today. I Will be haunted if City win back to back titles.
But still the Jose meltdown is comical as always :pac:

Yeah for sure but at least we're level now and not three points behind. Small victories and all that

True. And we were at one point 8 (I think) points behind them and the media had more or less crowned them as champions. A bit like Liverpool last season.

Maybe I misheard but didn't Paddy Power pay out on Chelsea to win the league?

Dr.Winston O'Boogie

Will Yaya be back for the Chelsea game? Even if Ivory Coast go all the way in the AFCON?

I think I heard yesterday that the Ivory Coast cannot get further than the quarter finals or else he'll miss the Chelsea game.

XI vs. Sheffield Wednesday

Caballero, Sagna, Boyata, Mangala, Kolarov, Fernando, Toure, Milner, Navas, Lampard, Jovetic

Weak back four, hope there's no shocks.

Talib Fiasco

Praying for no injuries.

Talib Fiasco

Typical eh? :rolleyes:

SEPT 23 1989

could be one of those days

Not that many of the City players have covered themselves in glory but Kolarov looks very rusty so far

Talib Fiasco

It wouldn't be City unless they made it as difficult as possible for themselves...cmon lads push on for the winner

Talib Fiasco

Milner ya beauty

SEPT 23 1989

Heart attack stuff fair play to Wednesday really gave us a game

Talib Fiasco

These last minute winners that seem to be our trademark are not good for the heart at all.

blueser

Never in doubt!

acquiescefc

Stupidly told my dad i hope we only lose 2-1 after the last game, cant remember that score
Gutted but proud of everything about Wednesday - team and fans, never gave up.

Wish we had David Silva on our bench instead of Chris Macguire. He made the difference.

Good luck City, i'd rather youse do better than most of the others. Just not today.

Cheers for the kind words bud; didn't see the game, but you defended well, by all accounts. Silva is a genius, hence our "Merlin" nickname for him. Good luck for the rest of the season (late push for the playoffs?).

Always found him to be a genuinely good player no match for the level of our creativity. We usually have a few missed chances and luckily the first one went in. Atdhe Nuhiu or 'Big Dave' as we call him had a good game for a change.

We have had a decent xmas period but i doubt we are strong enough to rely on our defence to keep it up to get in Top 6. Couple of loanees have just gone back and we've no money to spend on quality.
One day maybe.

Manchester City are in advanced talks with Swansea City over signing Wilfried Bony

;););)

SEPT 23 1989

Stephanie Roche to join city women?

Dr.Winston O'Boogie

What you make of Bony? Definitely need another striker but I wonder will he be as effective when he is not getting a regular run of games. Also he is off to AFCON so by the time he is back he could be 3rd/4th choice!

I don't want him tbh. Would prefer Iheanacho to get his chance, I think he is back at the club now after his loan.

Thing is we are getting about 25 mill for Negredo come the end of the season so its replacing him with a guy who is 3 years older (and proven in the premiership).

At the same time its a lot of money for someone who won't be first choice.

Darkglasses

I'm happy enough with Bony, we do need another striker and he's an excellent player. I'm sure he's coming in knowing he'll probably never take Aguero's position, and he'll have to prove himself to be playing ahead of Dzeko or Jojo. We might even make money on him if we decide to let him go in 2 years.

I just don't rate Bony as highly as others I guess. I would put him in the Jermain Defoe type of player as in he needs four or five clear cut chances before he scores most of the time. I would rather Iheanacho get his chance and spend the money elsewhere like on a goalkeeper perhaps.

He's definitely better than Defoe, you just never know though how a player will cope coming from a smaller club with less attention where he is playing week in week out to a huge club where everything will be analysed a lot more and he won't be getting a regular run of games. He is coming into his peak now though so could well be a smart buy (albiet overpriced in my opinion, but thats what happens when you buy within the Premier League).

Its ridiculous that we constantly find ourselves having a striker crisis season after season, if you look around at other clubs they all have 3 main strikers normally and never run out of available strikers.

Having said that my main frustration is he won't be available for the entirety of January, when we need him most.
