Can anyone tell me why we haven’t played well for two months? Anyone please?

Tiredness? Complacency?

One thing’s for sure- it’s the league from now on and no chance for slip ups.

If anyone thinks that MD is good enough then please give up. City have been crying out for a CB for 3 years.

And as for Clichy, he fucked up because of no right foot. How the fuck can a professional/Sunday league footballer do that?!?!

I’d love to see Rodwell come back into the reckoning Siamack, and if he does it should mean that he’s proved an aceptable level of fitness and the manager has a degree of confidence that he can move forward for us. I’ve always thought that he had everything, vision, passing, acceleration, drive a good engine and a great physical presence but he also has a body that has failed to take the strain continuously.

If he doesn’t get games this season it will be nothing to do with any agenda against our English players, as is often floated by the media and various fans and non fans out there in the ether (I hasten to add not you. City have spent a lot of money on English players, overpaying for most of these including the younger talent evidenced by:

Bridge £12m, Barry £10m, Lescott £24m, Milner £22m, Sinclair £6m, Johnson £6m, Rodwell £12m. That’s a total of £92m for a group of players worth much less than that.

Lescott and Milner have been good servants but only Barry was worth the money spent if we are going to be realistic. The problem is the paucity of quality in the ranks of English 18-22 year olds and the ludicrous fees bandied around for the few that look as though they might be good enough. Figures of £25m or more for each of of Ross Barklay and Luke Shaw are simply ridiculous. They both look very promising but very few players show that level of promise and become a Gareth Bale. Micah Richards and Stephen Ireland both had that level of hype and ability, or near it, and both are useful PL professionals when fit, and both in their prime age wise could be acquired for around £12m the pair of them!

Back down to earth, hard one to call, we haven’t demolished anyone for a while so this game could be interesting, I hope milner gets a game his world cup place & city future don’t look great unfortunately- he deserves game time that lad, if im been very fussey I’d play him next week against barca too, I love Silva but I haven’t been impressed with him lately, why does he never shoot outside the box when its on for him??? Always the extra pass bah humbug, I’d have milner outside left with nasri- milner can be a big f***** nightmare for barca when he’s on his mojo, before anybody says anything about Silva we all know what a magnificent talent he is, elegant, I just feel that j.m gives us that drive & bigballs attitude we’ll need next week, 4-2 tomorrow, negredo overdue 2.

I would pair Rodwell with Garcia and move Milner into more advanced role and then play with one striker Aguero or Negredo. I would also rest captain fantastic as he is too important to be risked in such game. Within the next 30 days, we are going to play Barcelona, United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Saints. Out best 11 should get as much as rest as possible esp in a game like this one.

As much as I’d like to see it; I don’t think Milner will play centre mid. I agree that resting Silva and giving Samir more match time would also be a good idea.
