*** Official West Ham v City Match Thread ***

[mr_nool]

Bloody hell Tevez been putting in a lot of effort, but he's been really sloppy in his passing and finishing.

[Swales4ever]

U***d would have been in front.
same old story, so far.
glad to be blue, tho

[kinkylola]

don't want to see balotelli off here ... think that would be a shame, he's worked hard and put good balls on for both of the other strikers.

I do not know what game Mancini is watching but how the fuck Edin can't be off here is beyond comprehension

[Swales4ever]

[Sideshow Bob]

[carl_feedthegoat]

[kinkylola]

[PALUS]

Fucking stupid substitution.

[dick dastardley]

Dzeko rather than balo for me

Agree, Edin has been shite, just for a change and Balo has been decent.

Bobby remembers the nights when Dzeko has saved us. Only reason isn't it?

Sooner of later he is going to have to go to the plan which includes using dzeko to his strengths , eg, it's nearly panic stations time when the ball starts getting launched forward

I feel sorry for dzeko playing under Mancini, I honestly don't know why he bothers picking he bloke

[Esky]

I seem to be in the minority, but Balo just seemed wasteful to me today.

[PALUS]

Yap but i think he calculate that Ballo is spend from runing he is better tonight even do he miss few chances

[kinkylola]

starting dzeko out on the right of a front 3 to start is a bit bonkers as is ... not to mention we have no one to cross to him, and no one in position to even try.

[s1ty m]

This is bollocks.
