Watching City try and break down the Liverpool bus was painful. I can understand why Mancini wants more players now. He's already conceded the gutless lesbian turd can't do 1/10th of what Silva does. Adam Johnson a once in a blue moon player. No one big and black to replace Toure. It could be a bit of a struggle, these few weeks, if Silva is out for a while.
City. :haha:
Got to expect Liverpool to finish the job now.
Liverpool were terrible in the second half. If Citeh get Silva and Balotelli fully fit for the second leg, they could suffer.
And Bellamy is more of a 'once in a blue moon player' than Johnson. He has the odd game where he looks brilliant but is mostly the Championship player he was last season. Did he even touch the ball today?
Citeh's constant diving at the end was funny.
And Mancini's crying.
Dunno.Quote:

I'll take being terrible and winning 1-0 every single week.
Fair enough, but they probably had enough chances to punish you. They look completely unremarkable without Silva though.
Also, seeing as Carroll is worse than Bendtner at controlling and utilising a football, surely Kuyt would be a better option? He may be less threatening in the air, but he could ease some pressure by holding on to the ball and would at least work hard and harry opposition defenders.
You don't put Jamie Carragher in midfield if you don't have a plan. The bus park worked very well. They will have to show more at Anfield though, no doubt.
Would be surprised if Liverpool don't buy a striker. Not sure who.
Unfortunately Kuyt seems to have lost his main attribute this season. And actually I'd say one of the worst parts of his game is his first touch. He'd make Carroll look like Messi with close ball control. He and Maxi (Benayoun Mk.II) will be off soon, as with Aurelio (unless he stays on as a coach).Quote:
