Komps is injured.....

He's trying to run it off.

Yeah, but seeing Kompany limp is like watching a horror movie.

When they make the third Unbreakable he's playing Mr Glass I believe.

Great flick by Aguero for the first. He keeps passing tonight. What's going on?

[mr_nool]

Unselfish play from Aguero to set Sane up. The Aguero of last year would never had passed in that position. A combination of Pep and a loss of pace?

And a slip.

But yes, you're right. He seems to really be trying hard to be one of a fluent top four (or five including Silva) rather than the sole focal point.

You guys are weird. It's not like we've never seen Agüero pass. Biggest myth around is his selfishness. He's doing what he's always done but now it's getting noticed.

Not saying he never used to pass, but he used to almost always go for it if in sniffing distance of the goal. Now he seems to weigh his options better.

South stand turning up finally in last two games (shit KO times when lots of my lot haven't gone) just in time to entice more good lads away from the east stand

As an aside, IL post a separate topic but I want to keep my dad's seat on if anyone on here is interested in a season ticket next year - 109, standing.

Nothing's changed except your perception mate.

edit

But I'll admit he never did like passing to Dzeko.

Nope. It's obvious when the team is struggling he doesn't pass. He is passing more today which is great, but don't act like this is the norm for this year.

[mr_nool]

I obviously disagree Coca, but it might be that he is more prone to passing when we're playing well and the attack is clicking, and hell-bent to solve it on his own when we're struggling. Not sure, but I feel that my perception or hunch is more than just a hunch.

[mr_nool]

That was a fantastic ball by Tintin.

[mr_nool]

And all that said about Kun, we'd be fucking crazy to get rid of him.

[stevefromdonny]

just had a quick look at arsenal game to see how it was going and fucking hell there is thousands of empty seats

It's only us mate..

but but we don't play in red, mind it wont be said by sky

[bigblue]

Gab's spark in the box is what we've needed for years

[Nick]

Kun is the top scorer in The COUNTRY! Over 30 goals and he's missed a chunk and we've not played well. Still no plaudits.

keV is immense

At the same time, let's say you're right for the sake of the argument: do we, generally speaking, need more passes when we're struggling?

In fairness were one of the worst since the stadium move for shit kick off times. Many factors the cause,

Yes.

Big Willy just looks so safe after months of Bravo

[nottsblue]

Let's get a couple more early doors in the second half. Then give Zabba his send off. Give Gunn a taste of the action and get Stones alongside Kompany for a few minutes

[mr_nool]

Reading 1-0 up. I really hope whichever wins of Wednesday and Huddersfield beat them in the play-off Final.

[blues2win]

At the match. Complete dominance. Very solid at the back. Against a very negative West Brom we've created a fair bit too.Just want a third so I can relax.

[iwasthere2012]

Kun's link up play has been excellent.
He's been involved in every good move about the box.
I think him and Jesus could end up a great partnership.
Jesus worries defenders. Silva and Kun get more room as a result.

Sane scares the shit out of fullbacks meaning they double and treble up on him.

This also gives more room inside.

There was a few sloppy passes, but all in all a good all around performance.
