[Blue In Bolton]

We've done OK but would like to see Tevez release the ball a bit earlier instead of trying to do it all on his own. Dzeko coming on with 25 minutes left could be just the job. COME ON CITY!!!!

[Manx Blue]

Yaya on Smalling is soooo one sided though, we need to keep that up

I agree, but he's so slow getting back its killing us Dam

[horlock2000]

Zabaletta the scapegoat today then?! Nothin to do with Kolarov being useless?!

Theyve scored...end of...we need to come out second half n get at em!!!!!

[Sideshow Bob]

Scoreline not reflective of our game. We dominated the 1st 30. The missed chance notwithstanding, Silva has been immense, outclassing Scholes by miles.

[Manx Blue]

SWP coming on by the looks of things?

For Kolarov?

COME ON CITY!!! FT 2-1 TO THE BLUES

[Renato_CTID]

David Silva is football! Even if we're losing badly I'm happy for this!

[Dameerto]

I dont think there was much Zabs could do about their goal after watching the replays, he was tracking Nani but it was a (hate to admit it) combination of a pinpoint pass from Giggs and a good first touch from Nani that made it. We looked good in the first half though, so if we can keep it up we have every chance.

[BlueMoonAwoken]

We all know zabba is not the fastest and he is up against the fatsest guy on the pitch, cut him some slack. Once again we are showing we have no pace to get in behind them. we have to pass an move which is alot harder to do without someone on the end with blistering pace.

I sincerely hope so, he's been utter shite.

That would make sense. In that case O'Shea is a yellow waiting to happen. Unless Shaun plays on the right and Milner moves over to the left.

[IanWright]

What the hell is wrong with youse?!

Man the f*** up, FFS!

[Sideshow Bob]

AK had a poor 1st but we may need his freekicks.

It would be a massive help if Yaya and Silva could find a pass more than once in this half. Wayward passing does not sum it up, it's just fucking unacceptable.

[brite blu sky]

Game plan is now out of the window. We have to get back into this quick. We were playing well until that lapse. Time to step it up. At least now there is now no excuse not to completely go for it. We need to up the tempo and make the build up play faster.

So, you're saying Kolarov is the scapegoat?

I'll add Lescott to the mix. You can never have too many scapegoats.

Anyway. This is bullshit. It's all well & good dominating the first 30 min, possesion etc. In the end only one thing counts. Scapegoats.

Man the f*** up, FFS!

Who's that aimed at Cockface?

Not atall.. Zabs is one of our finest and im a big fan, hes just been caught out a few times.I prefer him as a righ back or mf.

[petrov]

Fucking Yaya, more interested in throwing himself on the ground than pulling the ball back. Diving cunt.
