[Blue In Bolton]

Story of the season so far - wasting alot of chances.

[Moonchesteri]

Aaaaaarghhhhj Yaya shoot towards the back post as we got runners going towards the goal/back post

Come on City!!

[Swales4ever]

super support by our away travellers. it's a MUST mention

[ashton287]

Every time dzeko touches the ball he is fouled.

[Swales4ever]

well that's was almost what I meant for the Time magazine front cover

[kinkylola]

would love balo to score a bike like that

[phips]

First half it seems to be our back 5 that are playing the best...and thats scary.

[dick dastardley]

Does mancini have an hairdryer time to give it a whirl.

[PALUS]

Every time dzeko touches the ball he is fouled.

I think he dont know to fall , do not know use that but they hit him push him , he needs lesson from Suarez :) we have to many chance fuck

[Swales4ever]

bang on the money, Kinky. hard to make tough. they are playing at their best and we are on contingency lineup.

as it stands now I am glad with our effort. and defence is tight.
we can do it.

[Moonchesteri]

Actually the first half hasn't been that bad. We created some chances (like they did tho) but just couldn't pull them off
On target 0, off target 3 for WHU
On target 4, off target 6 for City

We had the lions share of possession and if we keep it tight at the back I reckon we WILL nick this one

[zuricity]

Dzeko is having a mare.

no he isn't , not at all . stop complaining.

[Moonchesteri]

Dzeko and Mario both need to put in their scoring boots for the next half and if they do it will all come good

[Londonblue1]

Still not getting it quite right but its coming.lets just keep repelling the long bombs.

PALUS, my friend.
I mean, moan as much as You want, but just addresss Your focus more allround.
we all are only interested in City getting out with 3 points.
no matter who scores and or who misses a sitter or two.
I know You are a Blue, but...

[Ted Hughes]

Apart from failing to create the number of chances we should, we have been pretty good in general play; as good as anyone else in this league anyway. Defensively Vinny & Nasti have done as well as anyone against Carroll, the only big mistakes have been Nasti falling asleep for Nolan's goal & Barry falling asleep for Benayoun's shot.

I can't help feeling that West Ham could use Carroll a lot better though & can test us much more.

Balotelli has been very good yet again but unfortunately Dzeko's touch has been awful so far. On another day he would have had 3 & Mario plus Yaya one each.

I think we need to convert a couple of chances if we're not to lose this.

[Camebro]

Dzeko getting fouled every time he touches the ball. Reckon Balo is gona get something the day, he's looking lively

Though only if Dzeko is

.

I just feel that, at the moment, if Mario were to get a couple of goals it will do him the world of good. He looks sharp and dangerous and, although still imperfect, I think his temperament and application are massively improved this season.

Just not happening for Big Ed today. I'd give him 10 mins then get Power Serge on

which, in turn, my Master, is all I always moaned about.
we will be Champions and Football Rulers when we will learn to bury our chances. Then we will also dominate in Europe as the Rags did on their times.
a long - and exciting - way to go.
