[Archived] Manchester City v Rovers Preview 25/2/2012

[G Somerset Rover]

We look like the distinctly average championship team that we will be next season. Watching with 3 non Rover's and they cannot believe how poor we are. Even Barca do not get nigh on 90% possession!!!!!

[hesfromburn]

n'zonzi and rochina coming on.

[Stuart]

Were fans booing Petrovic off then?

[hesfromburn]

I Dont think Marcus olsson has looked that bad, not really the game for him but good debut in a tough game. lots of pace and winning free kicks.

[MarkBRFC71]

We're getting totally embarrassed - not a single attempt at goal in over an hour. Sky just said the last time a team went through an entire match without a single attempt was 2008 - another record for Kean to aim for then. We've got absolutely no leadership on the pitch, and too many players who just haven't got the heart, balls, quality or energy (step forward Pedersen, Yakubu, Dann, Hoilett, Orr, and Petrovic). Heartbreaking.

[Elvis McSmithy]

Can anyone please tell me why Vukcevic can't get a game? He's had a limited amount of games but in them he has looked a better player than several of our regular starters.

its a mystery to me also.

I'm wondering the same thing RVR

[hesfromburn]

WOW NZONZI JUST DID MORE IN 5 SECONDS THAN PETROVIC DID ALL GAME!!!

No idea - he should absolutely be playing instead of our Norwegian gutless wonder IMO.

Good luck to anyone who wants to sit through our dear leaders interview after this one....

suppose so, i just cant believe he has been chosen over more established players.

[bluebruce]

Don't think I've ever seen a team keep possession so poorly against a team so adept at it. Last ten mins have been a slight improvement though, and n'zonzi already making a massive difference with his composure. We have been panicking with the ball all game. I'm fine with the scoreline, but our approach is unforgiveable.

[broadsword]

Just thinking if we stay up we'll go through this nonsense again next season

[Stuart]

At best.

[Elvis McSmithy]

Mark71 as said it, Zero leadership in the rovers squad at all not 1 person giving orders.

[EWOODACE1]

Just thinking if we stay up we'll go through this nonsense again next season

it will be worse. some players will leave and god knows who we will replace them with

[John Howarth]

This must be the most one sided football match in the history of the Premier League

[Scott18]

Will I be the only one happy when that piece of crap Hoilett leaves? He obviously doesn't want to play for us anymore and he just pisses me off everytime he does play because we know he has the ability but he is too caught up in his own hype to show it.

[MarkBRFC71]

Yay - we've had an attempt! Well done Peds ....

[RibbleValleyRover]

3-0

[LDRover]

What an abysmal footballer Bradley Orr is.

[Stuart]

Too easy

[broadsword]

You have to say, that's a peach of a goal.

[Tom]

Can't believe out of all the players people are criticising Marcus Olsson he looks better than most of our poor bunch.

3-0 come on please not many more we need to keep goal difference intact

[perthblue02]

Terrible defending for the 3rd, be glad when Samba's back from injury !
