Nice teams don't win leagues

[Grob]

The body language of some of our players is awful. Dzeko and Kolorov looked defeated in everything they both did tonight. There was no passion from anyone

In the second half, there was no inspiration from anywhere. None on the pitch, and none from the bench. Kompany and Mancini, our supposed leaders need to take a long hard look at themselves.

To be honest, I've been avoiding watching City on a few occasions lately as all they do is fill me with rage. We were an inch of Jermain DeFoe's boot away from losing to Spurs after being 2-0 up, and since then we've thrown away 1-0 and 2-1 leads at Liverpool and lost to a team of carthorses tonight.

At the time it was easy to blame Savic and shit refereeing, but the truth is there are a lot of players whose confidence implodes as soon as there's a bit of adversity. We have as much skill as any team in the PL and most beyond, but we do not have the ingrained self belief.

the manager is the only one who can correct that

I agree, Savic has been made a massive scapegoat when in actual fact our attack has suddenly started firing blanks. How mAny games did we lose with him there....in comparison how many goals did we score.

We are looking desperate.

I agree with that to some extent but we were playing a side who were shite. We threw away the opportunity to dominate them in the first half & really, players with that talent shouldn't need fist pumping from the captain or manager on a night like tonight. It's calm destructive pass & move which is required.

micah should of have that cunt sent off!

You see, this shouldn't be needed. The rules are clear as fucking day but for some reason the rules are not applying to the teams that play against us. And it is not because we are too nice.

We are defo too nice..I bet Kompany is wanking off Phil Neville in the shower as we speak.

I think that we are straying from the point, which is:

We constantly moan whine and whine about decisions and opposition players and the ref influencing our matches (rightly so) but continue to neglect to do the very same thing when the tables are turned.

I think you'd all agree that when we appeal for a pen or a foul the appeal look fucking pathetic, especially when you compare them to the likes of Chelsea and Manu. surely if we can see this the players and manager can. We will not get fuck all if we continue to be nice soft cunts.

when was the last time we had our physios on the pitch patchin up someone?

Exfuckingactly

Micah should have been milking it.

If vinnie and Joleon did so every now and again maybe they wouldn't get booked for the first tackle they misstime!

I think having Savic perform poorly at the back hasnt helped the teams confidence. When a player around you makes so many simple but deadly errors, its amzing how much it rub off

They looked tonight like they needed an Andy Morrison out there to inject some fire into them. Kolorov looked scared to death when he came on. They shouldnt need that, but they clearly do.

Agree wholeheartedly, we can win the league being nice guys once we've got the first one one under our belts by any means nescessary.

We should be pushing the envelope with officials, especially since the derby, but we dont. The team looks like any day will do
