***city v west ham match thread***

[blues2win]

Comfortable win but I would have liked to see another couple of goals for the goal difference. Obviously worrying about Silva. Fractured cheek bone?

[carl_feedthegoat]

Shit second half....foot off the pedal and it was boring to watch.
Pelelgrini is a TOTAL cunt for not playing Pozo in one of our easiest games we have played all season.The fuckign wanker will never use our youth unless hes fucking told to do so. Two nil up and a perfect opportunity to bring in Pozo...........fuckign dick of a manager.

[Dameerto]

No Pozo has really pissed me off. Fans love seeing young players coming through and doing well. Absolutely nothing to be gained from bringing on Fernandinho or Dzeko. Things like that and the last few months have turned me against Pellegrini.

Probably saving him for the FA youth cup final tomorrow. Which I can understand. There was no need for him today but there is tomorrow.

That's a good point actually. Probably didn't want to risk him against a physical team with tomorrow in mind.

Yep...bringing him on for 10 minutes would have killed him for tomorrows game!!!

That is just an excuse though and you know it. 9mins at the end would have done him no harm. In fact it might have given him a big boost

But we won today so that's it. happy days

[blues2win]

The game wasn't won. He thought Dzeko and Nasri would make more impact than Pozo. Not a ridiculous decision at all. He needs top 4 at all costs.

[sheblue]

Great we got the points. But there's still a lot wrong.

Why have him on bench then? If you are fit enough for the bench you are fit enough to play. If it's the match day experience Pellegrini wanted to hand out, Pozo has that. Barker or Angelino or Maffeo would have been a better bet in that regard. FA a Youth cups are all well and good but he would have learnt as much in 20/25 minutes against a Premier League side as in the game tomorrow IMO

A stray elbow or two might have done - or a dead leg or mild concussion.

Possible neck injury as well from the snap.

Dirty challenge and Pozo aside, I am a little upset Kolarov didn't snap that cunt's leg.

neither would Mancini. with so much money in the club there's no incentive for the managers to bring in youth, especially if the club is gonna sack the manager within 3 yrs.

[Cocacolajojo1]

That is just an excuse though and you know it. 9mins at the end would have done him no harm. In fact it might have given him a big boost

Or it might have tired him a bit, just to not make him 100 % for tomorrow. Seeing as we didn't need him, might be better for tomorrow.

[Ted Hughes]

He's on the bench because every cunt is injured.

No time to be risking the game when people like Zaba & Yaya are running on fumes. One stupid goal from West Ham would likely bring two & the form Pozo is in, he's not gping to win it back for you.

The substitutions were a disappointment alright. It's sorted it in my mind, who needs to go.
Nasri, Dzeko, Kolorov and perhaps Yaya if they have the balls to clear out so many, considering Milner and Jovotic will probably go too.
I thought those that have been getting the most stick, played well today. Navas, Mangala, even Fernando. Yaya showed effort but is getting very slow. Zabba looked good.
There was still a lot that is worrying about the second half in particular. Sloppiness, overhit/underhit passing. Balls played behind the onrunning striker etc.
West Ham were poor. Not all opposition we have left, will be as bad.

[Sideshow Bob]

Dzonkey is a fucking pathetic excuse for a professional. Get him the fuck out of our club.

If you think, that by putting in pozo in injury time, we are at risk of conceding 2 goals or worse then you need to sit in the corner.

Zaba started the game as Zaba & finished it as his grandad again. Yaya did well going forward but he too look 80 years old by the end. Nasri did ok but he looked fucked.

Aguero got a lot closer to the near post today, thus Navas was motm.

We were in danger of conceding goals without bringing him on. You people are just moaning for the sake of it.
Pozo doesn't deserve to be on the bench. He is only there because we have no strikers & the rest are playing in the Youth Cup final.

I'm not moaning for the sake of it at all.........we have had youth on our bench a few times this season and not a sniff of anyone coming on , even when we were cruising. Similar to day.

[Ted Hughes]

We weren't cruising today. If you look back at the thread, West Ham nearly scored AFTER some of you lot had started moaning about us being safe.

Earlier in the season, kids yes. 4 up today, kids yes. 2-0 with Kamikaze defending , & 9 mins added on fucking NO.
