Jumping on the grenade here, watching stoke-man city game and dvring jozy. City dominating person as you can imagine thru 20 min. Cameron with some nice tackles early and steady defense. 14' had a really nice break, took ball on a counter with tons of space. Kompany comes over to cover, but Cameron schools him.....kompany manhandles to earn a yellow. Nice play by our boy.
2 nice crosses in for Cameron. Been marking silva mostly. 27' Cameron strips the ball nicely at the top of his box, goes to take it out for a counter and gets it immediately stripped. Should of gotten rid of it. Got lucky as it went for a City chance.
65' Cameron with some nice touches along the sideline. Yaya scores. Then djeko just missed the easiest sitter from 1 yard...then kicks the post out of frustration. That was really really bad.
84' Geoff with give away header, to the frustration of Adams. 85' Geoff disposed of in his own half trying to make a move... Possession 85/15.
87' again dribbling out of the back Geoff foolishly loses the ball again. He hasn't been tight with the ball, hasn't gotten forward. But is working hard on his tight man marking, which is all that he's being expected to do today.
Overall very poor in possession for Geoff today, but one of his better defensive games. Didn't get forward at all, but never let up any space for his mark. Worked hard, played the one-twos of man city well. Odenwinge makes it tough for Geoff to get forward, alot different from Walters in front of him.
