Fucl me it was nice when Kolarov scored! But it didn't fell quite right, not being able to scream "GET IN! KOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAROOOOOV!" on here ...

[london blue 2]

Haha so how did it end?

The ref blew the whistle three times ;)

[Beefymcfc]

Apparently there was a crazy fucker who invaded the pitch last night, did anyone see it?

I was a little pissed by 2nd half!

[Ted Hughes]

A knob ran on the pitch whilst Tevez was waiting to take the pen.

I'd just like to add that Dyer is a cheating little twat. All of us sat in the area behind the linesman could see nobody nobody touched him. He kicked the ball one way & dived the other. That's probably why Vieira was so pissed off when he tried to do it to him again 2nd half.

Yeah a young kid who ran to Joe, got a high five, then to mad Zabbs, a hug, then onto Joleen I think another hug then the customery slip as he tried to evade Showsec who took an age to get to him. Don't think the kid could belive his luck that he went unchallenged for about 2 mins. He should have brought his autograph book!!

Saying that I blame the twunt for Tevez's pen miss as he had to wait while the kid did his meet and greet.

Totally agree. It was a dive. There might have been the slightest of contact, but not enough to bring him off balance.

[david yearsley]

To me is was a clear dive on the replay but the wankers on ESPN were thinking of anything to justify it including invention of facts. Leicester wank fest for 90 mins
City do need to up it though - seriously . We can´t afford ant more lapses from here on in

Tbf we did up it in some areas. We won the aerial battle for most corners & were set up much better to deal with them. Also we didn't make many challenges on that clown Howard & give away many free daft kicks (the only reason he was on the pitch) so they were unable to lump the ball into the box as much as they would have hoped to build aerial pressure. The CB's were very disciplined dealing with him, stayed away from contact & just let him nod it on to Joe Hart or knock it backwards. When he challenged in the box we mainly stopped him. He gave Dunne & Co much more trouble in the past than he gave us last night.

Kolarov does barely any defending at all though. We're effectively playing with a back 3 when he's there. That can't be allowed to continue.

Also thought we dealt with stuff a lot better. The cheap penalty was a dive over Pat's leg AFTER he had put his foot out. And their second goal was completely offside, clear as day. So as for their goals i would say we were unlucky with decisions. We did allow ourselves to be put in difficult situations though that a lot of times previously in the season we were cutting out in midfield. Both Wolves and Leicester were getting through the midfield too easily. On this showing we will still struggle with Stoke.

If we don't come out of our own half apart from when we're very very sure we're covered everywhere we'll be harder to pass through in midfield though. Earlier in the season that's what was the priority & we usually only got one player forward quickly. Now it's 4 or 5.

As I said at the time, I don't think it's any kind of tactical brilliance to play defensively like that with quality players, it's just weight of numbers. The difficult trick is to be tight at the back when you're piling players forward. That's the part that eluded Hughes & it will be interesting to see if Bob can sort it or if the defenders are good enough without extra protection. He may not need to worry if we get more clinical with our finishing though. We're getting into a habit of creating chances &/or scoring goals even when we don't particularly look like doing so & that's a bloody good habit to be in. With Dzeko & Balotelli to come in, we may become difficult to stop rather than just difficult to beat as we were earlier.

I already knew I was in trouble and unfit bu(t)… after seeing the recordered match and read the relevant thread... I happen to fully agree with Carl, twice, ffs! In fact I came home tonight with 38.7° C.... :-)

GREEDY CUNT JOHNSON - ID FUCKING BENCH HIM FOR NOT PASSING TO SILVA...SHOCKING GREEDY CUNT.

No wonder Adam is one of my favourites, as You are seing right below the avatar since last season.
But, fuck me, if I have already singled out the same problem with Carlito, who is amongst the world beaters and so can be conceded some additional selfish-greediness (english, Brite?) that is always very good for a striker, anyway...... Young Adam is still a little Walsh Cunt (i.e. RG) in becoming,... so, wtf, Adam! Can You all Lads do understand that single glory can be targeted only after being upfront by two scores!!!

iS lESCOTT FOR FUCKING REAL OR WHAT ??????

Joleon..... what to say! I hate to have goes at our players, as a general attititude: right or wrong, my Country is a concept I did loved since childhood.
I was very glad to state, last season, that I would have traded JL for no one other CB of the League, out of my City bias, merely based on his excellent contribution to the Team...

Now, everyone is seing a senior intenational player, playing regularly 5 out of 6 last games, simply not capable to make a tackle, a sweep, a pass right, versus an excellent, extremely focused Championship Team, set up by a genius I do consider one of the best coaches ever, but still a Championship side, raw material wise...
I really cannot understand, his recent performances , he's been difficult to assess as a profesional footballer, Sorry if I am too harsh. I mean at Leicester, fooking Bamba, flew over the box of one of the best team in the world, already quality wise, as if he was a blend of Christmas Carroll and Mark Hatley!!!

I realy would have liked to start and debate a topics on this because, since last month, I really thought he will be part of the rotation that next year City will play, saturday domestic, wednesday on Chumps.... Confusion?!!

I forgave AJ as he scored a cracker but he still needs to play smartly.....that pass that never happened (To Silva) was shocking...he tried to get the ball onto his left foot but had little if any time to do it..the best play was to pass to the incoming Silva.....Hope Mancini had a word.


Lescott- He was terrible......and has been just lately - we cannot afford to pick and choose the back 4..they have to be a settled formation imo.

Why does he always play on the right? Surely he always has to try to get the ball onto his left foot as he is useless with his right. That takes time and loses momentum.
