Completely agree Chinners but I can't have been the only one close to tears at the final whistle. It's going to take many years of winning things to finally lose the Typical City tag and at the moment the title seems miles away.
3 points against Liverpool would go a long way to lifting us all I guess

We are a very different proposition at home. We'll beat the racists comfortably.

I hope you're right mate, but that confident swagger from a few weeks ago has left me

I think it has left some of the players as well, mate, but it can come back as quickly as it went away. They are the best set of players we have had in my time watching City and I for one believe in them. Perhaps they just need to focus on the things they do well for a bit.

1. The pitches. We are still getting results at home but away we are struggling. And all 3 of those pitches have looked absolutely dreadful with the ball bobbling about. This has affected our passing game. -
Possible solution. More long shots and crosses to our tall forwards ie Dzeko.
2. Squad depth. Mancio showed today that he really doesn't have faith in the depth of our squad. De Jong - subbed at half time. Nasri - subbed at around 60 minutes. Kolarov - subbed at 70. Whilst I applaud Mancio making positive substitutions I'd have preferred Nasri to have stayed on longer, to have some faith shown in him.
3, Change in approach. We've been found out since the Napoli away game. Teams park the bus and try to counter us. Early on in the season we sat back for the first 20 minutes and gave the opposition a sniff and drew them out before we destroyed them. We don't seem to be doing this any more. Maybe it wasn't a ploy after all and we were just slow starters.

Then some bad finishing & dodgy officialdome has done the rest. Napoli showed twice how a not especially good team can fuck us up if we're not on our game. We only beat Villareal in injury time. Others are doing the same.
People ignored the Napoli result & insisted they were fantastic but imo we underperformed & lacked a plan B. then we let in crappy goals. It is our weakness when things go wrong.
It is the final hurdle to us becoming the team we hope to be. We are not there yet.
