What's the deal with Nasri's and Silva's positioning? Has Silva been pushed out wide with Nasri staying more central?

Well that was...


eventful?


We should have netted 4 more goals and there was no excuse for giving up the second one. No idea what the frick Ridwell was doing there.

Rodwell*

I meant in the game today. Not after Silva was taken off. D'oh.

He seemed to play centrally to me although City has a lot of movement. Nasri spent a good amount of time on the left and right

Nasri typically has free range of the entire width of the pitch.

Don't know, but other than that I thought he played quite well.

He's been in the hospital for a while undergoing an MRI scan so we'll know for sure soon enough

this game was nearly a complete disaster. If that rumor about kun is true I am worried. While rodwell made a huge mistake today I think he can be a more athletic replacement for barry/de jong long term. Tevez looked fantastic and fit. In a game where pace and well timed runs were making the opportunities I don't know why we put dzeko on. He has the touch of an elephant unless it is a sitter. The truth is that if we put away chances, this game would've been 5-2. No disrespect to southampton.

Saw on ESPN that they would have to wait a couple days to do the scan. 6 months seems like an odd time frame. You would think if it was an ACL tear, it would be longer. If less, then less. But I'm not a medical professional so who knows.

Sergio Aguero ?@aguerosergiokun

The studies I had done revealed there's no significant injury but it was a very tough hit to my knee.

Tomorrow, the physicians will evaluate the time it will take for me to recover.

I can't muster words to thank for your concern and with this much support, I'll probably get back up on my feet soon.

And I want to congratulate my team mates for their effort in turning this game around. Now more than ever - C´MON @MCFC !!


straight from the horses mouth. praise god that this doesn't seem to be as serious as we originally thought.

I hope this is the case, but I was watching SKY Sports and they said that Aguero said he was fine but City officials weren't as confident.

did they quote city officials?

i think he'll be back after the international break for our match at stoke on sept 15.

eta: this is based solely on my gut feeling.
