    Best chance to get something at The Etihad, ruined by stupidity.

    What a stupid red card to get,just stay on the feet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,209 ✭✭✭KH25


    I could forgive the tackle, there's mistimed tackles all the time but that first one... It's a f*cking kick out.

    I don't agree. Mistimed tackles happen but when you're on a yellow you need to be smart and not go to ground so easily.

    The more I see of Rooney in midfield the more he looks very average

    Yeah but taking them as individual instances the first is by far the worst. It leaves you unable to mistime a tackle or sacrifice a yellow for the good of the team. For a defender it was moronic in the extreme.

    I've never seen Niall Quinn, Jamie Redknapp, and Graeme Souness all look so bloody pleased with themselves.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,362 ✭✭✭K4t


    Wilson should be brought on for RVP.

    Need some pace up there now. Would be great experience for him too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    This is now, ironically, the perfect game for Welbeck to play the lone striker. Hah.

    No arguments there!

    Nice of sky to pick three of their most detestable pundits.

    Yeah, you're right. Let's throw an unproven 19 year old while we are 1 man down and need all the experience we can get into the biggest game of the season.

    You are dead right


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,209 ✭✭✭KH25


    We need players badly. A new RB and at least 1 CB.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 159 ✭✭CantonasCollar


    Would have been content with 1 point before KO, going to be tough now.

    Di Maria is the one player we have that can open them up, need to get him more involved.

    Ah here there isn't much need for that sort of reply. I think he has a point.

    RVP has been pretty much isolated all game. Good player that can show brilliance but Wilson is a bundle of energy.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Wilson come on with his pace and passion, and I imagine a lot of fans would too. Experience is all well and good but at the end of the day it comes down to 45 minutes of football. If Wilson can offer his pace and no doubt drive to do well in his first derby why not stick him on and hope he snatches us a goal. We will be relying on quick counter attacks now that are down to 10 men.

    Gone to this stage that I really dislike seeing Rooney playing for us


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,209 ✭✭✭KH25


    This is looking bad for Rojo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,362 ✭✭✭K4t


    Wilson and Giggs should be on for the last 20 minutes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,222 ✭✭✭✭Will I Amnt


    Cursed I tells ya.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,192 ✭✭✭✭Kerrydude1981


    Another kick in the stones with the rojo injury


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,408 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Poor Paddy. What a situation to be thrown into.

    A draw would be a serious achievment here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,889 ✭✭✭✭The Moldy Gowl


    What a defence we have. Time to just park the bus. All the players should just stand on the line.
    A point would be a great result


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    Good man McNair


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    It's the theatrical dives following the ankle taps that's undoing City here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,222 ✭✭✭✭Will I Amnt


    Our defence. A right winger, a centre mid, a youth player and Luke Shaw :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,222 ✭✭✭✭Will I Amnt


    City should have had 3 penalties in fairness, could be in a much worse situation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,209 ✭✭✭KH25


    I hope LVG absolutely destroys Smalling after this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,060 ✭✭✭✭adox


    Damage limitation. :(

    Top four? We're only in the top half on goal difference.

    We need a huge spend in January. Our defenders can't stay fit and out back up RB is a man who can't remember how to play football.
