Relentless Manchester City Blast Five Past Wolves In The Carling Cup

Manchester City is fast becoming English football's great entertainers. Is the title, it would be impossible to imagine the addition of the side last season, Roberto Mancini, but how else we can think of a team that now has 45-15 goals this term, and 21 registered in the past 450 minutes football. These statistics are impressive by any standards, and helps to explain why Carlos Tevez's presence looming in the background he cares so little.

The bad news for a weak side Wolverhampton Wanderers reserves swept by the City believes that the first team to face the real thing at Etihad Stadium on Saturday. It is a frightening prospect for now. Although Nenad Milijas put Wolves ahead here, the city reacted as if offended, scoring three goals in four minutes before the break to take the first leg in Mick McCarthy's side in the same brutality that characterized his performance at Old Trafford .

Mancini away from the entire range From Sunday, but it is measure of the strength in depth in his team that the absence of Mario Balotelli and Sergio Agüero barely resonates on a night when Edin Dzeko scored twice to take his game of the season to 11 But it was Adam Johnson, who has the most to attract the eye of a reserve of 100 million pounds, the England striker scored the equalizer with a city and hand in the other two goals before the break.

It 'was an impressive response to Johnson felt that the bench did not replace' against Manchester United, although Mancini continues to ask for an outsider. "I think sometimes you think:" OK, this is a game that I scored, I did and that's a help, "said city manager." He must think differently: "OK, I scored, I did a help, try to score another goal and an assist, and when back to defend. "Why can not he do if he wants.

"My opinion is that it has everything to become one of the top. I think you can improve when you are 30 or 31 years. Adam is young, is his third season in the Premier League, has it all and I am disappointed when Adam plays every game and not put everything on the field. Tonight, he played well, but, for example, the second goal scored as wolves, did not follow his opponent. "

Johnson, however, score a goal splendid house, curling shot from the edge of the penalty area after Milijas gave Wolves deserved advantage, rising left foot shot from the center of a. Vokes Sat Wolves, who never gave up, despite the avalanche of goals on either side of half time, had actually started much brighter and that the city should have a time penalty before the break when Aleksandar Kolarov clear manipulated Milijas free kick.

However, in an instant the game was actually more of the city opened the wolves in quick succession before the break. Johnson tied it two minutes later, the former Middlesbrough player threaded a pass that invites great Samir Nasri to run into Matt Doherty and a drive shaft just beyond Dorus De Vries. The wolves were recovering from that blow when the visitors added a third just 60 seconds later, Dzeko pushing the ball on the line after Scapuzzi Luca, an Italian of 20 years, was rejected by the keeper of wolves.

Stephen Hunt should have got a goal early in the second half, but the city has been so relentless forward motion is difficult to imagine that he stayed away for a long time the Irish had cut the deficit. In fact, within two minutes of Ms. Hunt, the city added a fourth when a two-meter shot Scapuzzi left De Vries, after the keeper could not keep shooting Nasri. The second and the fifth largest city Dzeko reached the final of a fluid motion, before Jamie O'Hara took a second merit of the wolves.

"I am pleased with our performance - it sounds crazy, right, when they beat five," said Mick McCarthy, Wolves manager, who made nine changes from the team that designed Swansea on Saturday. "We started well and deserved the lead and the fact that he could not hold on to it had nothing to do with evil to defend ourselves, so it was a nice change. C 'was just a grand finale, when he went to Adam Johnson. City will not work harder than they were tonight, that's for sure. "

Mancini has admitted that the City has the advantage of playing "maybe a different style," perhaps referring to his decision to take the handbrake off the team this season, although some things never change. There were unconfirmed reports later that Balotelli, who was on the bench, had reacted, unfortunately when one of the back room of the city staff asked him to do some chasing the game. "Mario? No, no, no, "said Mancini, denying that there had been an incident.
