They're dooooooon.

come on man he's only 24, i think he will become a decent striker once he gets to play central more. ONLY 24? He relies to much on speed.

He's like a better version of Odonkor Has no ability except finishing and pace.

Alcaraz looking at Robles like it was his fault for them being shit the whole season. That face man

WIGAN DOWN.

Waiting for Stu to come in and ridicule you, you wuss

Wigan man If they win this

And playing some great stuff. Like when they stuffed us at SJP in november or what it was.

I'd hope so. I'd love Rafa to tbf, but I just want to see if Martinez can get the most out of the players we have here already.

City playing some amazing one touch football at the moment.

Wigan never give up do they? So fucking happy we're safe.

Goalkeeper (doesn't really matter) DAlves - TSilva - Dante - Marcelo Paulinho Gustavo Lucas Oscar Neymar Fred Gustavo/Fernando for me in the end is the same and I think all three goalkeepers are equally good. I think we'll see Hernanes or even Jadson instead of Lucas and Oscar on the right. I prefer Oscar centrally, but we'll see I guess. Bernard and Lucas off the bench might not be too shabby with their technical ability and speed. But I'm much more positive for 2014 with Scolari now espeically as he's shown before that he has the balls to not select players who aren't up to it, like Ronaldinho and Kaka now and Romario back in 2002.

TBF I don't think Gustavo or Hernanes are better player than Ramires it's all about compatibility with the team though. Gustavo and Fernando are two defensive midfielder who will be anchoring infront. Paulinho who is our best midfielder will start next to them with the ability to bring the ball forward. Then it was between Ramires and Hernanes and I think taking Hernanes is because he is a more dangerous player offensively and who can set up plays even from deep although he doesn't play like that in Lazio. I liked the team I just hope for the sake of everyone that Lucas or Bernard gets the nod ahead of Jadson.

I think it was between him and Hernanes as Paulinho is a far better player than both. I understand his choosing of Hernanes over him though. Although I'd rather have had both and left Jadson out.

Scolari just left Ronaldinho, Kaka and Ramires off the team for the Confederations Cup. Happy about leaving the oldies out but shocked at leaving Ramires out. Surprisingly called Bernard up (who apparently is going to Dortmund) GK. Julio Cesar, Diego Cavalieri, Jefferson FB. Dani Alves, Jean, Filipe Luis, Marcelo CB. Dante, David Luiz, Thiago Silva, Rever DM. Fernando, Luiz Gustavo, Paulinho, Hernanes Off. Lucas, Neymar, Fred, Damiao, Hulk, Oscar, Bernard, Jadson Interesting team although Fernando, Rever and Jadson don't fill me with any confidence but they probably won't play much.

The ball would appear to have been on the deck a lot more mind given the aerial duel statistics. Except possession and short passes suggest we didn't.

It's sad enough I've took the time to do Newcastle, I'm not deeing 20 other clubs. Nah, I meant for and against us.. Not sure how i would do against us, but you got me excited you slag...here you are... http://i41.tinypic.com/90qd52.jpg f***ing woeful, as you'd expect. Credence to the fact that the system creates enough, the players just don't convert them. More down to Jonas crosses probably being counted as shots, and Cabaye and Ba when he was here shooting from every possible angle. Oh and Tiote like Dave said.

Loving this thread, with the obvious posters playing the lead role.

I usually don't like stats, but it shows that the 'good football' a lot of people on here suggested we played last season is a myth.
