The "Official" 2013/14 Other teams matches thread

Lucky for the Barcodes that Dzeko can't hit a barn door today as he could've easily had a hat-trick with all the chances he's spurned so far.

Great movement and passing up front, especially Aguero and Silva.
 
Didn't the commentator just say that that was Saudi Sportswashing Machine's heaviest away defeat for 25 years. Is he just ignoring their away defeat against us a couple of seasons ago?

Think he meant opening day defeat. They get caned away from home pretty often.

Whoever had the idea that Jamie Carragher should be a TV pundit? Cringeworthy.

Familiar name and face, seems to be the basic requirement. Sometimes you get lucky, as Neville proves, but seriously doubt some of them have been screen tested at all on how they come across and their level of knowledge and how they communicate.
 
City looked great, but Saudi Sportswashing Machine seemed naive and got carved open several times before the goal as well. Looked very disjointed and I think serious questions should be asked about Pardew's team selection after that.

Agree. The result was definitely half down to Emirates Marketing Project's quality and half down to Saudi Sportswashing Machine's lack of same. They were really woeful at times. Based on that performance, Saudi Sportswashing Machine will struggle to finish top half this year. And based on that performance City are title contenders. But who knows how representative tonight's performances are. It's a marathon, not a sprint after all.
 
Would not be sorry to see Pardew be first PL manager to lose his job. So many things to dislike about the man from the way Hughton was treated to give him the job, his macaronic comments before our game last season and his silly nasally voice.

The players did not do it for Saudi Sportswashing Machine tonight, Reasons on a postcard but IMO Pardew.

If I was found of conspiracy theories I would be suggesting that Pardew sent out a team that would get trashed to convince the club to spend some money on reinforcements.

Reminds me of a non-English but British person who was mobile but then became stationary.

I might be mistaken about some of them, but none of Cisse, Gouffran, Ben Arfa and Sissoko strike me as reliable players defensively. Starting all four of them seems strange. Tiote is obviously very good defensively, but he was left with way too much to do. Next to Gutierrez who works hard, but isn't a defensive midfielder that teams seems very lightweight defensively to me.

Can't expect defenders to perform up against the kind of players City have when they're not offered protection from their midfielders.

The pundit was saying that Gutty was having to work too hard and almost immediately after he said that he had a hammy.
 
this the Navas that got 0 goals and 0 assists last year? I didn't watch City last night so I don't know how good he was or how many assists he got.
