Get Gareth Barrie back from Everton. He was MAGNIFICIENT for Everton against Chelsea. You fools at City!!! Who made that decision to loan him out? Get him back - he is better than any defensive midfield player at CITY!! U agree that city have no defensive midfield. Get Gareth Barrie back from Everton.

He is an absolute liability. He is that sort of player that has an 1 average game in 10 games. In other words, 9 out of 10 is horrible. As for Negrode, Pellegrini should definitely start him. It is no brainer [with all due respect to my man Dzeko]. I also somehow fancy playing two center forwards (Dzeko and Negrode) with some good classical direct English football of sending long balls in the box in games like Cardiff and Hull >>I am amazed that Kolarov is still at the club especially after the Norwich game that closed out last season

The defence looked bad - Lescott looked completely out of his comfort zone playing on the right side of the centre half pairing. Kolarov always looks one paced and although he might occasionally cross the ball it is obvious he struggles against any decent winger. Yaya and Fernando don't seem to be on the same wavelength and at the moment Rodwell and or Milner would be better in this formation. All in all vast improvements are needed for the United game - let's hope Demichelis adds stability. An underwhelming performance and everyone was relieved to get the win which we hardly deserved.

They provide little support for an understrength defence and we are therefore much weaker at the back. Yaya is not and never will be a captain...we miss kompany as much for his leadership as his ability. We need drive and passion and must give Rodwell and Milner a chance....but being English they obviously don't gave the ability!

We have shelled out £30m when Milner can do the same job but of course he is English so he possibly can't !!! We needed a quality centre back. Left winger too anyone? Silva is best in the middle. I'm sure Navas will come good. YaYa, oh YaYa - laughably shit/lazy (for someone of his ability) for 90% of the average games and 50% of the big games - it must be in his contract to start. If Negredo doesn't start against Stoke then it's (to coin our chant against them) an effin joke. Aguero - either we ain't plaing o his strengths or he's been out of form - for c.12 months........
