So you wanted a young player with great potential to be sold despite you not thinking he was a flop.AriseForLife wrote:kyro7 wrote:I'm talking about them because it seems these days everyone has to develop by the time they're 20 or 21 or they're a flop.
Irrelevant to our conversation. I never said nor thought that Theo was a flop.
The Champions League is not their worry atm, and Arsenal are one of the best teams at moving the ball.Tom wrote:I was reading various comments on the game and a lot of people pointed out that it is reasonable to park the bus against the top 4 but hammer easier teams to win the title. However if you're unable to beat hard opponents then how will they even try to progress in europe which is clearly what they want to win?
Poor play that a £300m grinded out

But it is silly because it doesn't matter, as of now City are second and who knows if you'll slip up in places they wont, anything can happen.
To be fair both were in top form, and you didn't have a team like you've got it now, you've got a solid line up.blackskar wrote:kyro7 wrote:Stoke at home, you'll definitely win that.blackskar wrote:And saying it's not 2nd because we have a game in hand is abit silly.

You never know in football. bet most people here never thought we'd lose to Newcastle/WBA at home, but we did -_-

Reckon if I was in charge of City I could put a better team out tbh.

When we play like that we'll draw more games than win and lose, if we draw against the best teams away then we have every chance of progressing in the second leg when we play at home. We've only played like that three times this season, United, Chelsea and Arsenal. As I recall, no one was complaining when we did it to Chelsea and won 1-0.

No you don't because you won't do anything at home except for relying on Tevez for goals just like you do away. Surprise surprise, did u even read what i pointed up on? (In Bold). Yeah because that win was fucking lucky.
You're trying to back up City as this forums only supporter which is great but you're not providing good arguments
Number 11 on the list for most fouls this season in the EPL.Zzonked wrote:coolmarvin wrote:Leaving De Jong on his own, even for a brief moment is very risky. He's a hacker, would trust Barry to do a better job tbh.
De Jong is the best tackler in the PL. Despite playing his entire career in his own half and only ever making sliding tackles he's only ever been sent off once (never in England) and it's pretty rare that he gets a yellow. Most of the yellows he does get are 'taking one for the team'. Watch him play as much as I have and you'd agree.
Just throwing that out there; interpret it as you wish.

Why exactly do I need arguments to hypothetical issues with our hypothetical European tactics? Even if we don't do well in the CL if we get in, would I particularly mind? No not really, I would rather we won anything, domestic would satisfy me equally as a European trophy would.
We beat Villa 4-0 without Tev, so we can score without him. Mancini has won things before, he clearly knows how. Oh and even if the Chelsea win was lucky, my point was no one complains when it comes off.

Seeing as we have a game in hand it isn't reallly 2nd place is it...
Anyway, I think City will finish 4th with Chelsea 3rd and either Arsenal or United winning it. Spurs 5th, and then everyone else will be way behind.

- You what?
- It doesn't matter what you want it matters what the owners want and the ambition is to eventually win the champions league which is arguably much more difficult then a domestic trophy
- 2 penaltys and one game somehow decides that you're a team that can score without tevez?
- Mancini is a good manager, no ones denying that but he's using cowardly tactics against teams he has no intention of beating in his own league. He's going to get him crushed in europe
