[Archived] Man City Preview

[rovers1993]

same free kick position as peds has against scotland... hopefully he can do the same.

[spencey7]

Roberts again living up to the hype. Is there a worse striker in the Premier League? I can't think of one.

Why is Diouf ever allowed to take a set piece?

[RibbleValleyRover]

City don't look that decent at the back, Richards in particular looks shaky. Just wish we had the quality to punish them.

[Veevs]

Boy our bench looks weak.. at least jnr may get a little run out, is elrio injured?

[HemelRover]

Dreadful free kick. We need a proper set piece taker. Quickly.

McCarthy's looking sharp, really putting a shift in.

[Harry Balls]

Has anyone else noticed that Benni, Samba, N'Zonzi and Roberts have all copied Diouf's haircut?

[rovers1993]

samba soooo close...

we shud be up by far! comeo on rovers!

Decent header by Samba

[Alex Rover]

We're all over them, come on you Blues.

[rovers1993]

we certainly look very much up for it. if we can sustain it, im suer we'll do well.

[bigbrandjohn]

We are playing well. Toure looks shaky with Given.We smell an opportunity.

[adopted scouser]

WHY CAN'T WE FINISH ?

[HemelRover]

Now, im not one of those Andrews haters but is he actually playing?

[Iceman]

If we had players who could finish, we would be at least 4-1 up on City.

[Nafe_rovers]

mcarthy should play american football as a kicker

.... o god! if we dont score soon were going down 2-0

CMON ROVERS!!!

[HemelRover]

.... o god! if we dont score soon were going down 2-0

This is what im worried about!

[rovers1993]

at least we are creating chances and we now have di santo and kalinic in the waiting. just need to tough it out with JR until their ready.

by the way, nzonzi looks very good.

[KoNG]

at least burnley are loosing!

............... Or 'Brunley' as foxsport has them labelled over here.

[j166429]

Givet's having a good game.

[adopted scouser]

absolutely

[RibbleValleyRover]

I'd put Di Santo on at HT, more likely to score than Roberts if he can get on the end of Jacobsen's crosses.

[bigbrandjohn]

Givet's having a good game.

So is Pedersen,good crosses and getting stuck in.

[j166429]

We won't lose many games we play like this, but we seriously need some strikers who cam finish. I'm sure kalinic would have got one by now if he'd been available.

[Fylde Coast Fan]

Good movement from Roberts - he's terrifying when he runs at defenders, he just can't finish.

[rovers1993]

i really cant complain about our performance so far. been fantastic except for the goal. we've just stuck in, given them abit of a kicking and created PLENTY of chances. should be up 4 or 5
