As bad as last week was (and it was ****ing dire), and whatever comes our way on Saturday, we simply have to put it behind us and treat our season as though it starts again on Tuesday. Lets get all the negativitey out the way, and cheer the lads on against Villa a week today. Remember to get there a bit earlier if you actually want to see any of the game. I have been looking at Dame N'Doye's record and it is REALLY impressive. 139 Goals in 297 games, almost a goal every 2 games ratio. Scored goals in the Champions League for both Copenhagen and Lokomotiv Moscow. To anyone at the club reading this......FFS look at how many headers he scores from open play and corners. Look at his many videos on YouTube, he could be the best headerer of a ball since The Lord gave us Stuart Elliot. Get someone down the wing and get some crosses pinged in towards him. How about playing Jelavic a bit deeper to try and link the midfield up with Hernandez and N'Doye, could be a good little triangle which could rotate. Get back to playing three centre backs if you are gonna let the loose cannons bomb down the wing. WE ARE NOT CAST ADRIFT, WE HAVE JUST SIGNED POTENTIALLY THE BEST STRIKER IN OUR HISTORY GIVEN HIS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE EXPERIENCE. LETS ALL GET BEHIND THE TIGERS NEXT TUESDAY AND ROARRRR US UP THE LEAGUE!!!!! (And no I haven't had a drop of booze today, just optimistic!!!!!!) Come on City, lets get our bite back. Well done to Steve Brucie for getting this one through in the first place.
From what I've seen & read of Abel H, I think he prefers to be behind the front 2, although Saturday he just about miskicked very ball that came to him, with it bouncing off his shin or his toe.
Based on recent games not expecting anything on Saturday, but for me our season starts then, we can't afford to write any games off!
I think the problem there was we played a lot of balls into his feet back to goal and he's not really cut out for that. But he should be better then he was. We need to get the ball into his feet facing the goal like in the Everton, Leicester game and in the early games he played for us.
On Saturday he got one chance to run onto the ball & what the **** Krul was doing out there I have no idea, but that's the time he did look dangerous & look like he knew what he was going to do.
Between Man City(a) and Chelsea(h-sun march 22nd) we have 5 matches that really can be considered 5 Cup Finals. Aston Villa - home Queens Park Rangers - home Stoke City - away Sunderland - home Leicester City - away somewhere between 10 and 12 points from this little lot should help keep us up. If we can win the first 2 dont rule out 5 wins as the confidence will be overflowing from the players. They lack confidence more than anything atm imo. Either back em or stay away.
