Certainly need pace from back to front,and Milner will defo provide it,just hope he stays injury free. Will be glad to see if city have learnt from not having yaya this time around.

I’m almost excited to see how the team will transform without Yaya in Jan.

Marks, and everybody’s comments spot on. Roll on the African Cup when Bobby will have to do without Yaya. Everything goes through him and therefore like him our play is too slow and too deliberate, totally lacking tempo. James in central midfield will give us some much needed drive and enthusiasm.

Iv’e got to agree with blue bullet, Yaya seems to pick and choose the games he wants to perfom in. That coupled with no seemingly obvious plan B make grim viewing for us fans. Far too slow in the build up, far too narrow and congested in the midfield and not aggreesive enough. Last year pace, aggression and stealth won us the Premiership, we do not look value for money at the moment.

Agree with the ratings…my concern is with the tactics.Constantly playing narrow against a packed defence. Then brings a winger on and plays him on the wrong foot so nobody gets behind the defence to cross to Edin. Funny that the goal came from Silva crossing with his left foot from the left wing!
