2013 Asia Trophy FINAL Safc v $ity - Match Thread

Altidore's first touch was superb.

 

Really like the look of the lad, still have some doubts but certainly he's doing sterling work in changing that.

Lokoks a real handful, and very intelligent with it.

 

We look very good. 1 down totally against the run of play! Great goal by the way. We are impressive though. Taking the game to city

 

Need to get Sess' into the game more

 

they are running a commentary here, thats all i can find mate, safc twitter probably have one but im locked out

this is highlighting the desperate need for full backs

 

I think we look pretty handy with thr ball but a little disorganised when citeh counter attack. Larsson looks out of his depth to me but the lads look really good! V impressed!

 

Agreed, with colback in for larsson in midfield.

 

Supposedly we are being caught out for pace at the back. Reaaaaaally highlighting our need for fullbacks with pace to burn. Negrado is always looking like a threat.

 

Shame about the pitch, could have been a good game this.

 

Colback just made a cracking last ditch tackle on negredo.

 

negredo is going in my dreamteam

 

Begs the question why? Must be plenty of $$$$$ involved!

 

How we looking? Have we came close?

 

decent first half, full backs getting mullered for pace.

 

We look canny, not being bullied or out played. City look dangerous going forward but do do we, we need to try and get sess and giacc on the ball more and i think our set pieces have been poor considering what who we are putting in the box.

 

Not as much of a threat this game but were def not out of this ..

 

Big hole everytime City come forward around 18-30 yards out.Midfield not tracking City's midfield. Not a fan of Larsson so I've watched him closely all match. Need better in their for sure. N'daiye would be an improvement. Cabral struggling a bit also, but hey it is Man City. Technicaly Giaccerini is going to be class but looks a bit lightweight. Sure better pitches will suit the lad better than a marsh.

 

now we've all got to listen to that **** trevor francis......
