*** City v Juve - Official Match Thread ***

[iwasthere2012]

Too cautious play. No real drive to score. Not scoring when presented with fine chances... feck sake.

This.

[blues2win]

Presume Vinny was injured otherwise a poor substitution. Otamendi not up to the pace of the game.

[Beefymcfc]

I'll put this down to Pellers, but he's got time to redeem himself.

[Whassat]

Why Kompany Otamendi change ?

Komps having a knock/small injury I guess

[Clowncrete]

The tempo of our play is just so slow. We pass here, we pass there. There is just no movement and penetration.

[kinkylola]

why do we let european teams dictate how we play our game? We always change our play based on opponent ... and not in a proactive way, reactive to their fucking tactics. Really small time and really naive.

[Fidel Castro]

The premier league must be fucking shit, but we have been brainwashed into thinking it's amazing

[london blue 2]

Ffs same old shit. Missed chances in chumps league is unforgivable.

[nottsblue]

Can only see another Juventus goal to be honest

[Mase]

Juve are just going to hit the deck for the next five minutes

[mr_nool]

Komps has an ice pack on his calf.

[Im_Spartacus]

We've been dry bummed here.

But like so many times last season it is all of our own making. We spent 70 minutes pass pass pass pass with pretty much no end result. I can't remember buffon having anything to do.

A couple of chances open up to them, one from a world class pass, the other was lucky coming off kolarov but a great finish, and the moral of the story yet again, is that you can't fucking score if you don't get the ball into dangerous areas.

And the reason...for me it's putting silva and nasri in the side together.

Naive is one word to describe it, fucking thick is another.

[Mase]

How is Silva still on the pitch?

We've played no better than we did against palace. Juve have taken their chances that's all...this has been coming for a few games now

The very thing that Juventus fans were concerned about before the game is our pace, they were shitting themselves, now they're laughing!!

He still hasn't learnt has he?

I agree. Slow, unimaginative possession football.
Lets not forget that we gave the quite a few good shooting chances from outside the box in the first half as well.

Being down 2-1 and still passing... passing at a walking tempo ffs.

[Mase]

Oh fuck off Silva. There's no need to do that!

Agree. There was very little reason to put Nasri in the starting eleven.
