Not the end of the world. 2 points behind. Helsea , no way will they win 13 games in a row.

They won't but we probably now have to go somewhere like Arsenal or Liverpool & win as well as not fucking up any 'easy' games.

We can do that, but not with the players in this condition.

We have to scrape through the next month then hope everyone comes out fit & raring to go afterwards, or we have shit it.

No way would today's team win at the swamp or Palace, let alone Anfield.

We badly miss Fern. Toure rarely turns up away from home. Silva looks desperately tired. In short we are light in midfield. MP knows this and I'm sure will try to rectify it for next season. I'm not sure we have enough to win the league this season, maybe next if we re not clipped by FFP. Would settle for champs league and a trophy.

We'd be lucky to only lose by two at Anfield and the way Palace are going that is gonna be a tough game

We look burnt out, with little or no time for recovery.

Our allegedly big squad looks a bit thin at the moment. We're nowhere near the same force without our top performers.

Yes.. To bad we didnt nail a top class midfielder and a center back in the transfer window, looks like it gonna cost us.
Pellegrini must get us back in top form asap.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

If you were listening to the commentary of Radio Manchester you wouldn't have heard the game mentioned at all, just two gas-bags chatting shit.

they do go on a bit don't they, marginally better than no commentary !!!
Were you at the game ?

No, mate. Hence the post ;-) I actually thought about coming on here and just following the match-day thread, it got that bad.

We've been shit at this time of year for several seasons.Never really thought we'd score today despite the huffing and puffing. Negs was awful yet again. Milner did well but whats the point of Ya Ya strolling around the centre circle? Be ok when the 3 injured lads are back but I fear for us v Chelsea.

I don't fear for the Chelsea game at all.

[getdressedmctavish]

you may be right ZC but we look a bit predictable at the mo and I suspect we'll be playing some lads who are a bit rusty.

Predictable ?? How do you work that out ?

Predictable , means to me, goals against Chelsea and Norwich !!.

We are still unpredictable. However i think it will be to our benefit against the Chavs.

[Goaters 103]

Ah well, another 2pts pissed away. With our remaining away fixtures at Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal and Utd getting the 36pts minimum we need from the last 13 games seems as likely as Rodwell remaining fit for a full season.

The Cap One and FA Cup represent our most realistic chances of silverware. Without Ferna, Nasri & Sergio we have zero chance against Barca.

Thoughts on Milner performance today?

I thought he was super average vs average opposition. I hated his performance.

[getdressedmctavish]

At least he turned up unlike the talented but casual Ya Ya. I thought Milner gave a gritty performance and was the one most likely to win it.his run and cross after being fouled said it all for me, great attitude unfortunately not matched by some of our "stars"

I'd say that they were in the wrong positions. Milner should've been utilised to cover the back-line while Yaya should've been sat further forward, controlling the game. Milner actually had a greater effect when he got out wide but even then, Yaya only got into attacking 3rd on set-pieces.

One thing I found wierd was when we had a freekick where you'd think Yaya would have a crack. This morning, watching MoTD, you could clearly hear Pellers shouting him but Yaya just ignored it. Maybe it was the microphone placement and Yaya couldn't hear him. That's what I'm hoping anyway.

ah, i thought you were making a general comment yeah very poor commentary. We must get 6 points in next two games or the premiership will slip away !!
