I am going fishing for the rest of the season , cant take this anymore.

Thought the Pizarro sub helped open the game up, too.

Agree 100%....I don't really get how DP makes us look more incisive (as he is older, slower and arguably less talented than both Silva and Nasri) but he really did today. He was excellent.

Some of his early distribution to the wings was terrific, completely cuts out the three passes we normally take to get over there.

Thank christ a lot of the teams near the bottom won, so Blackburn might actually try and give united a game.

He did well (I like him as a player) - I think the change in formation had as much if not more influence on our change of effort as Pizza. It freed up an extra body for our attacks and seemed to catch Sunderland out.

That's all we need; that stupid cunt Merson ripping us to pieces. Fuck off.

Can I come?

Today we gave him ample opportunity

[Green & Blue]

Really can't believe the position we find ourselves in after having such a handsome lead on the rags.

It's hard to make sense of it all and how we have slipped so badly.I would also like to announce that it's really pissing me right off when we only start playing decent football when we are behind and chasing the game.

[trout man]

I am not sure how true this is, but the commentator for the match here in Ireland said that people where leaving the ground at 3-3 with 4 mins of time left to play, he actually said he was astounded and shocked...is this true??

[stevefromdonny]

i thought our passing was again to slow, why does yaya want to make 10 passes when 1 will be enough if it goes forward,

Haven't you seen the traffic on matchdays?

Someone on our row was pushing past me at 3-3 when we had a free kick. But I suppose they got home a few minutes earlier so it was worth it

[Swales4ever]

I really hate to say it but mancini is doing everything needed to get the sack. He has set this team far to slow now for tomany games, we just jog around with no tempo. We have pissed this up the wall with only our selves to blame, we let the rags back in and just watched.

while we stroll around midfield passing the ball around like Arsenal...hoping we slip it in the goal in the middle of the pitch, which happens to be packed with about 7-8 opposition players no matter who we are playing.

I know, I just dont get whats happened. We all know that we couldn't win every game by 4 or 5 goals, but we really have stepped backwards in both attacking and defending. When we kept up the pace of the ball nobody could touch us, its as if we have become so cocky we just believe that we will win without needing to try. Again and again when the fans try to lift the team and get them to speed it up, they get no reaction from the players.

there' a lot of analysis i'm sure folks will do.

why won't Balo calm down? he hates losing and he knows this is it slipping away. at least he has some passion i guess. hard to see in many others.

Yes Doomie and I am too much fuming, deluded, angry for reasoning but the minute he wasted to claim the ball as only FEW SILLY boys do, despite the captain told him to shut up, has no excuses. I don't fucking care of any hero, because it's a team game and the only winner must be MCFC.
once said that I never looked for scapegoats and I wont start now. As You said there's a lot to analize when a squad like City go 2 down on their own pitch in a final like match....

[halnone]

at least I had Balotelli as my captain in fantasy.

[Redna]

Last 15 min good, before that we were weird in all aspect of the diagnosis but...94:04 is a disaster. It really is.
CTID!!

[Swales4ever]

two poor defending situations opposed to their superb defending focus. definitely Mario and Edin not at their spark and Silva very positive but also very few accurate at passing (for what he can) but ehy, as much as I hate to claim for the fortune... we definitely are not lucky by late! at least when you compare the Chelsea deflection with all the great but also very lucky deflection/ clearances/sweepings the Black Cats' defenders have had inside the box.
a special mention to the great performance by Kolo, at least since he and Micah thought to the tgea cup few seconds earlier.

I believe, tho. we played well going fwd... we still can do IT"

COME ON CITY!!!! COME FROM BEHIND AGAIN!!

do you like it when they come from behind?

cheers

No I don't, what about You, darling?
cheers

Many people talk about the influence of negativity on here and how that might affect our psyche between the supporters and the team but there is NO conceivable excuse for trying to leave early in a match like today. It would have to be a tragedy in the family, though undoubtedly some will come on here and give many of the usual lame excuses.

If someone leaves early in a game like this, the stuard should stop them and rip up their season pass on the spot

[Blue Since 76]

Same people who left against Chelsea as well. I always wonder if they leave the cinema 5 mins before the end as well. Bizarre behaviour.
