Squad needs a shake up for sure. Dzeko, Kolarov, Lampard, Milner have to go for simply being not good enough. Could/should add Yaya and Nasri to that due to lack of workrate.

Milner I'd be for keeping, Lampard's going to New York anyway. Nasri first on the list for me.

YAYA OUT.

I like Kolarov, Milner and Yaya and hope we don't sell them. Navas, Nasri, and the 2 Ferns need to go though. Txiki Begiristtain should be sacked, we have overpaid for crap players too often.

Clichy and Kolorov gone for me(Need a good left back!!) ,if they get a decent price for Yaya then id say take it.Nasri needs to go and Id drop Fernando and keep Fernandinho
I think they would be crazy to drop Milner.
Mangala not great this season but give him another season and see where we are then.
Dzeko and Jovetic probably gone aswell,Dzeko done well and poor Jovetic never really got a chance.

For the transfers in, oh boy the wishlist

Kirby · 18-04-2015 08:07AM

Jovetic has been incredibly underused and mistreated to be honest.

Saints and Utd losing; two decent results for us today. We have to capitalise tomorrow against West Ham if we're serious about 3rd place.

Tell me about it. This season has been a real disappointment; very similar to the last time we followed up a title win (the 12/13 season). An annoying trend, that.

Ive captains him in ff so he's gonna score absolutely zilch!

So do I but so does everyone in FF.

the whole year inn · 19-04-2015 02:07PM

Aguero 20th league goal and a few points for us Trilla in FF

MD1990 · 19-04-2015 02:19PM

I only just realised Aguero wasn't on the PFA shortlist. Unbelieveable but it shows how the voting is judged moe on form between Jan-April than the rest of the season.

TBF to Aguero he hasn't even been that bad this half of the season, he wa obviously insanely good the first half. I maintain he's not on the list due to City's fall and not due to his poor performances. I have him only being outperformed by Hazard, Kane and De Gea this season

Sanchez has been quality too.

How to you figure Kane has out preformed Aguero?I think Hazard should get it personly even if Aguero was nominated.

Been more consistent than Aguero in fairness, although Aguero was the best player in the league probably the first half of the season. Has scored more goals this season overall granted he's played more games. The fact he plays for Spurs and hasn't the same type of quality around him as Aguero is significant. Plus the fact he has literally burst onto the scene this year and looks like a great great prospect whereas. I wouldn't be mad if he won it over Aguero if Kun Kun was nominated too.

stiffler123 · 19-04-2015 02:52PM

Mangala has been very impressive so far.

blueser · 19-04-2015 03:46PM

A badly needed win. The game petered out badly in the second half, particularly after Merlin's injury. It was a nasty challenge by Kouyate, definitely a red card. anyway, onto next weekend and Villa, who will definitely be more of a chalenge than the hammers were. I'm going over for that one, so hopefully we'll do the business.

rwbug · 19-04-2015 05:07PM

Another good game from Mangala, he has had some very good displays like Chelsea and Roma. He is nowhere near as bad as some of the pundits are saying. Think he will prove to be a good signing long term and a run in the team from now until the season ends will help. Fernando also played well.

Kolarov was poor imo, Dzeko and Nasri didn't impress yet again in the time they had on the pitch.

Lovely Bloke · 19-04-2015 05:14PM

Jesus, the elbow on Silva was pretty bad - was the WHU player even booked?

Ya he got a yellow for it.

TheNap · 20-04-2015 11:13AM

Mangala was very good.

Lets remember.

1 . He doesnt speak the language yet

2. New league

3. We are not the easiest team to play centre half for. Not much protection from midfield and as he plays left centre he doesnt get much help from Clichy / Kolorov either.

Hopefully next season with a new LB and DMF he will come into his own

greendom · 20-04-2015 11:56AM

So Mangala played well yesterday and Kompany wasn't playing. Any connection between the 2 ?

Correct me if I am wrong - I think City have only lost twice in the league when Mangala started - West Ham away and Liverpool away and both times he partnered Kompany.

There might be something in it as Dimichelis does seem a more calming influence than Kompany and Mangala's biggest problem so far has been his rashness. He has all the attributes physically and his passing is very good - he just need to have less brainfart moments.

Ya he looks solid when the midfield isn't completely overrun, so does Kompany. I'm happy enough with the defense, our midfield needs work.

First leg of the FA youth cup final is tonight v Chelsea. On ITV4.
