Our away form since Christmas has been shocking and when the team selection came through I think we all expected the worst as it was leaving out 2 totally key players and bringing in somebody who has been cast aside for the last month.
After the Sunderland game there was far too much OTT crap about how well we played and how this player and that player looked great.Just ridiculous.Sunderland didn't turn up and we could guarantee Liverpool would.We could actually guarantee Liverpool would come out quickly ,with good organisation and lots of energy.That is exactly what City struggle against most and exactly why the game on Saturday will be extremely difficult.
This is far from the end of the world.Almost every prediction for this game had City losing (a few nutters stayed on their planet and said we would win) and so it proved tonight.An expected loss turned out to be a loss.Yes it was by 3 and we never really looked like gettimng anything which is a disappointment but it's just an expected loss.The key games are the home games.They are the must wins not this one.
Of all the selection things tonight though I want to know why Mario didn't come on.Somebody said he came on for Tevez but he didn't did he? I thought he was embarrassing.
Disagree......."a few nutters stayed on their planet and said we will win" is a shocking comment from you !!.. that's the losers mentality some fans still have and is probably why we will never fucking win anything !!!
The dippers are decimated BY injuries and we should HAVE WON !...Plain and simple....out team is better than their team and if some nutters cant see that then god help them.
You might be right even if ever so slightly. But I have seen countless of those silly predictor threads and about 99% had us down to get nothing tonight.That's what happened so we are still on course for........not sure exactly but at least this result really doesnt change things does it?
I thought tonight we definitely had our minds on Saturday. They can say that isn't true but when the boss picks a team like he did the message was clear to anyone and the players out there I feel reacted to that and were not at the races till it was too late.No way do I think we should have won ,just like that, but the performance should have been miles better.
Granted the 11 out there should have done better bt there seemed to be no plan at all for me and when Tevez went off we went down to 10 men till late in the game when Mario was subbed.
