this two striker formation is not working for City. they desperately need an AM

When Fernandinho isn't worth anywhere near £30m and you throw out an attack-heavy XI this is what you get.

Bruce >>>>>> Pardew

City are the Tiger Woods of the EPL, no one is afraid of them anymore. I mean, everyone, except United of course :coffee:

by halamadrid2 Sat Aug 31, 2013 6:06 pm

its not even attack heavy. there is just too much space between Fernandinho who is crap and yaya and the strikers who never drop deep to save their lives

negrito in please

I think pellegrin takes every EPL game like la liga, expecting an attack

Hull won't attack you, its just plain annoying to watch

City are shocking. Yaya Toure has no one to pass to.

Navas is getting raped and Silva isn't seeing enough of the ball.

Amazing how we've been derided for signing too many AYeems yet Jovetic & Negrito are both warming the bench lol.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Aug 31, 2013 6:09 pm

The funny thing is City bringing Navas added a strength but it also aadded a major weakness.

The midfield is too stretched due to him holding width thus being outnumbered in midfield.

What are you on about? Aluko has all the time in the World to pick up space in between the lines. If anything they're too attacking.

That midfield is incredibly unbalanced.

They need to take Navas off and add another body in the midfield.

Navas is such a poor player, no one can convince me he's worth what City paid Sevilla for him. He's the right sided Matt Jarvis.

by Gil Sat Aug 31, 2013 6:12 pm

Imagine how good Huddlestone would be if he worked as hard as someone like Lampard or Ronaldo. So much talent gone to waste.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Aug 31, 2013 6:12 pm

Anyway hopefully those rumours of Palace wanting Pardew are true.

Replace him with Bruce.... dat geordie pashun ffs.

by aleumdance Sat Aug 31, 2013 6:12 pm

I think its the tactics mate...

I don't get what Citeh want here

by Firenze Sat Aug 31, 2013 6:13 pm

dodged a bullet with Fernandinho :coffee:

by halamadrid2 Sat Aug 31, 2013 6:14 pm

Navas has had three players on him all half. he hasn't been able to take them on 1v1. he has been forced to cut in

this half I think Kolarov, Dzeko and Kun have been the worst. I say take out Kun/Dzeko put on Jovetic and start playing a 4-2-3-1 with silva as the am

No doubt about that, finished midtable with Wigan before they got *bleep* over by Martinez.

IMO one of the underrated managers out there. Find him similar to his mentor SAF in terms of tactics etc.
