kompany=idiot

Clichy put doubt in his head as clichy was coming for it then decided last minute to not which made kompany hesitate, all clichys fault imo.

But all that training out in LA ???? thr rags look 30 % fitter than us obviously we wasnt putting the work in.

[kennyboy]

fuck off

[Chopper]

Disgusted

[Crossie]

Well lets take the positives, we have something to be angry about and work on.

If we'd won, we'd have gone preseason unbeaten, and probably be complacent straight away.

Now we can knuckle down and get back to reality, we are not unbeatable, we do need work, scum are still a better team.

[kinkylola]

not good enough by half.

[Lev Bronstein]

Sorry, too sloppy all round. Didn't keep the ball enough, couldn't respond when they upped the tempo.

When was the last time we lost from a two goal lead?

[paddyblue]

we need a vast improvement against swansea,we were played off the park second half

[Esky]

Don't think Kompany and Yaya have ever been that shit for us. The better team won.

Negativity cost us - barely in the game in the second half (and through much of the first, truth told).

[carl_feedthegoat]

We played shite for most of this game....I thought Mancini had us set up all wrong.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Can't believe we threw that away what a fucking joke City.

[lets all have a disco]

At 2-0 up we SHOULD 1000000% have wrapped it up.

Very poor,but hey ho.

[PeterParker]

Oh my word. What a fuckin' mess. I wonder what Bob told them at half time? "Let's stay in our own box and wait, what can happen?".
For me Barry was shocking today. Buy a midfielder asap ffs.

[ryanmjo]

Do red cards carry over? If not, Hart should have raced out and taken down Nani outside the box.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

we need a vast improvement against swansea,we were played off the park second half

In many ways we were played off the park in both halves. Very weak performance by the team and most players.Don't know if it was fitness related or down to tactics or simply that most of the players had poor individual performances but the better team won without a doubt.

Shame Mario didn't get onto the field!

[deacon]

Our mids can't hold possession worth shit, and we got outhustled the entire game. Too many people just walking around complacently.

And why no Kun?

Well now our boys will know they have some work to do.

[deacon]

God I hope that Sneidjer rumor is true now.

[kennyboy]

Sums up Kompany's game; he's had a shocker today!
At least its not a game that counts, so he's got it out of the way

what is it with Lescott making 10 touthses before making a pass, despite his goal i think
he is a strange footballer, Komps messed up last min. why was there no KUN pasta man?

[irblinx]

Looked very poor start to finish, don't look at all ready for the league. Probably a good thing we start with Swansea

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

Couldn't fucking hold on to ball at all. Tactically very weak. Vinnie had a bit of a shocker then again I didn't see many good performances.

Fucking wank really.

[guv111]

It was like watching England. The ball was bobbling around every time one of our players touched it, as if they'd never played at a high level before. We got away with it in April, recovering from a poor start to play some great football. Not today. The players' hearts weren't in the game. We even looked unfit, or - dare I say it? - tired.

I'd guess Mancini has set himself back in a lot of City fans estimation because of today. That was just too negative.
