David28 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Still baffled to why Santon didn't get at least 20 minutes with the game gone. I thnk Pardew has his reasons for it. Marveaux wasn't played (bar some late cameos) until he was really needed. Santon wouldn't have made a difference today by playing 20 minutes. But the risk of getting injured would have been there.

Alberto2005 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Man U and Chelsea won't play as well as that. Hope so, because I didn't think City got into their stride at all. That's true, I meant that City give you pretty much fuck all and we've seen Man U and Chelsea have defensive problems this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Good showing against one of the best teams in the world. 3-1 to them a little flattering because we by and large shot ourselves in the foot but there's no question they were going to dominate and in all likelihood win this game. Aye, I think even without the two penalties, you still bet on them to win, they can just step up through the gears any time they want to, their bench is frightening. Pathetic pointless way to compete if you ask me but there you go. The title's theirs, just have the ceremony now, give everyone else zero points for the games with them and cut out the pointless 90 minutes of playing them. Feel exactly the same. Not felt as deflated about a match for a while. They make a mockery of the entire sport with the squad and manager they have. There's no genius to it at all. "Oh hey, let's overspend on twenty absolutely world class players". Their funds are like a cheat on Football Manager or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I'm a bit confused why Pardew took off Ben Arfa and Sammy Ameobi, our two creative outlets. Ben Arfa came off as he's still getting back to full fitness Sammeobi probably because he plays a lot of games in the reserves and not used to playing 90 minutes at the pace of the first team games Cabaye because he's only come back from injury.

BlufPurdi Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I'm a bit confused why Pardew took off Ben Arfa and Sammy Ameobi, our two creative outlets. Because they were both knackered and not needed perhaps? Yup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, I meant that City give you pretty much fuck all and we've seen Man U and Chelsea have defensive problems this season. Thought we created an impressive number of clear chances today, irrespective of the fact we didn't take any. City definitely rode their luck at those points, easily as much as we have this season.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Most people thought Ryan Taylor at left back would be a disaster this season. The fact that he's been OK at left back until we played Man City should be taken into account when judging him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 City are obviously miles ahead of us, but I still think people are getting carried away by them and that teams in our league are giving them too much respect and showing too much fear. Napoli and Bayern Munich showed in the Champions League that they're far from invincible if you pass the ball well and get at them. We caused them problems in the second half today when we actually started doing the same thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Krul 7 - didn't do a lot wrong, made 1 good save from Trollotelli, no chance with any of the goals Simpson 7 - fairly solid Coloccini 7 - as above Taylor 7 - as above, made a few very good blocks. R.Taylor 2.5 - car crash Sammy 7 - very good and dangerous (MOM) Cabaye 5 - ineffective Guthrie 6 - not bad but always going to struggle against Toure Jonas 4 - non-existant front or back, switched off badly for the 3rd too HBA 7 - flashes of brilliance, promising, probably should've scored Ba 6 - did well for the goal, could have had another, not a lone striker by any stretch of the imagination though ---- Perch 6 - good assist for the goal Gosling 6.5 - scored Lovenkrands 5 - whats the point?

Ronaldo Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 He just isn't a footballer, tbh. He's been blessed with a terrific ability to strike the ball but everything else is lower league stuff. Jonas can't be too happy having to do his defending every single game.

BlueStar Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Good showing by our fans, took the piss non-stop. After they announced their record attendance I started a chant of "would you like to buy some fans" that caught on pretty well. Bit of aggro, firework or something went off and fans on both sides tried to get through the stewards, chucking seats. Heard another explosion outside after an all. Oh, and Jill went past me and gave me a dig. I'll never wash this arm again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
