Why wouldn't you rate chances created as a stat?

Ameobi passes it to Perez who takes it past 4 players and scores - assist for Ameobi?

Cabella has created the most chances this season, despite playing considerably less than some. It's not his fault our forwards are either shit-hot or completely inept.

He's been mismanaged by playing left midfield in a 4-5-1 which is what we lined up under Pardew most weeks, regardless of how many times he said it was a 4-3-3. He was then dropped, and brought on when the game was either a) beyond us or b) with 10 minutes to go. He needed to play every week in a key role to get him used to the division so we could reap the rewards of it later in his career. Exactly the same as we done with Coloccini and Jose Enrique, and exactly why Mbiwa never made it here.

Players need to be given time to adapt, not dropped unceremoniously and not given a chance.

Carver has handed him a key role in the side, playing a very similar position and he scored a perfectly good goal against Leicester, created our two best opportunities vs Southampton and played extremely well against Chelsea. As much as I don't rate Carver as a manager, the way he has handled the creativity of Cabella is excellent.

Ameobi is absolutely useless, midtable Championship level at best.

I will be proved right in time, I have no doubt about that.

I'm not suggesting he plays as a winger - our players suit a narrow 4231.

Check chances created for me please. per 90 mins played as well, some of Cabellas appearances come where he's subbed on in the 89th minute with the game beyond us.

Over the past few seasons too, rather than over half a season where a very poor manager offensively mismanaged him.

Same with Obertan and Ameobi too, as both are extremely poor players. Sammy Ameobi actually crossed the ball off his own leg on Saturday, it was impressively bad.

Cabella isn't a "winger", he's a wide forward or an attacking midfielder.

I agree, Sunderland don't play the most expansive of football, and he's a poacher at the end of the day.

Anybody with a degree of footballing intelligence would rather have Cabella over Sammy Ameobi btw. And I'd stick Perez in over Obertan too - a good few games doesnt make up for years of awful.

4231

Krul

Janmaat Colo Taylor (although not good enough for anybody above survival level, imo) Santon

Colback Sissoko

Perez De Jong Cabella

Cisse


thats what id play. Perez and Cabella as more wide forwards than wingers.

Back 4 favourites with £10/£20 every week.

You'll make far more profit than £1 accumulators every week.

Aye, given the choice of Ba for 7m or Bony for 28m I know who I'd sign.

Ba is a great goalscorer.

Was absolutely superb in the 1-1 though, had Dzeko in his back pocket.

You forget we're talking about the Champions League here - and currently have Mike Williamson, Paul Dummett and Steven Taylor as our defensive options - all of whom are poor. Relegation candidate centre backs at the very best - Dummett possibly Championship at best.

This is why I have said previously that accas are a bookies favourite bet. Stick to mainly singles and doubles and you will make much more profit in the long run.


this.

And I manage a bookmakers, the amount of serious money accas (upwards of £1,000) we pay out on is around 1 every 3/4 months.

And usually that's a 4fold and someone is sticking £100/£200 on it.

Roma are trying to negotiate a deal where they pay less than the 5.5m they've contractually obliged to if they play him in one more game. That's why he's been dropped I think.

He's looked superb in the CL for them this year, I'd love him to be given a proper chance at centre back here but it's never really gonna happen.

I swear I've never heard such polarising opinions on Dzeko than on this website.

He's brilliant for about 6 months then the worst striker in the world for the next 6.

It's outrageous how whoever makes the decisions can't see that we're in dire need of one though, really.

He's fucking useless, as is Steven Taylor.

All this new manager stuff is handily cloaking the fact we're absolutely desperate for a centre back.

As much as I'm annoyed by the way he negotiated his move to Arsenal, I feel sorry for Debuchy getting another 3/4 month injury.


Janmaat > Debuchy anyway.

Aye, Colback is a better holding midfielder than Tiote tbf.

I can't see Sissoko going to Arsenal - I really can't see where he'd fit in. Sky Sports News seem to think Wenger wants him as a holding midfielder for no reason whatsoever.

I'm pleased it might have clicked with our inept management team that Cabella is our best player.

Can you please upload the tactic for FM 2015 please?


I haven't made a tactic similar to this for FM15 yet, I will get round to it though!

Chelsea had a head start though and City are working towards the same "goal" of being self-sufficient. It's just annoying that City get no real credit. Last season Liverpool were free-flowing and ultra attacking, yet City scored more (and conceded less) in the end. This year, Chelsea are completely perfect and City are in crisis, yet City have the exact same record as them


Yeah and when they do they'll probably start getting a bit more praise.

I love seeing City fail - probably more than I like seeing Man Utd fail.

I agree, however I also agree with everybody petitioning against their clubs signing him.

I also don't think he done it.

Fuck logic.

Sissoko will be sold I'm pretty sure of it - unsure why PSG want him though, he's not good enough for them.

Hope we replace him though, although I can't see it until the summer.

Can't really blame him though, I wouldn't want to stay at an unambitious club either.

tbf - it's hard to get behind a team like City because of the way they've achieved success.

Not saying Chelsea didn't do the same, but they're more self sufficient these days.

Cabella apparently lost the plot with Anita at some point during the game, I missed it.

He gave him a simple 5 yard pass and Anita miscontrolled the ball under no pressure at all.

Ketsaia is a nutcase

I'd take Remi Garde, Thomas Tuchel or Galtier. They're the foreign coaches with closest links to the job I think.
