Yes, because i've jus looked over there and it's full of sensible, realistic opinions about tonight's game, that it was an off day and we were beaten by a better side.

On here it's the same old story "Mancini is clueless, get Jose on the phone" total ridiculous observations.

What a difference a game makes. Go on, get it out of your systems. Someone say " we're the shittest team in the world and we'll never win another game ever again."

Make up your minds lads. Is the way we performed against Fulham the true indicator of how we play? Or is it the Everton game?

I agree, it was an off day in front of goal but don't believe we were beaten by a better side. These are posts that are thought out (or not in some case) during or straight after a defeat and should be taken as so. And I'm sure if I went on Bluemoon or any other City Forum straight after a loss, there would be just as many 'Angry' posts as on here.

It's all part of the game mate. Let off steam, come back clean!

There's letting steam off and there's spouting clueless bile. I got accused after the Chelsea game of gloating with a "told you so" attitude, how ironic that fuck all was said after the win against Fulham and straight away after a defeat the "mancini out" and"jose in" shite starts getting banded about again.

Just fucking let us at Wigan! I hope we thrash the pie eating twats.

Sooner or later, some of you will finally learn the lesson that great teams take time (sometimes years) to build. Whether it was Hughes or is Mancini, they all take time to put together, blend and gel. While that is happening, you will see brilliant performances interspersed with shit performances. Bit by bit, better players come fill the weaker positions, tactical weaknesses get ironed out and eventually (hopefully) the team evolves and puts in a sustained challenge for honours.

Anyone who thought and I include the Sheiks, Gary Cook and Brian Marwood, that this team would keep improving without any problems or setbacks, is an idiot. IT WILL TAKE TIME and we will just have to put up with he setbacks without knee jerk reactions or trying to slash our wrists with rusty nails.

I am as gutted as anyone else about tonights p[erfoormance and result. I am gutted that we have lost our proud home record, I am gutted that we are no longer potentially leading the chase for 4th spot. But one thing is not in doubt...Our challenge is NOT over. Villa slipped tonight too and sure as eggs is eggs...Spurs will do the same. The door to 4th is still wide open and we have the squad capable of winning through....

a few things i noticed from the game, everton wasted about 15 mins taking throw ins, free kicks etc, gareth barry cant take free kicks, rsc isnt a footballer, toure is a liability and we dont close down players when we are defending. and finally the referee is a red scouse fan FACT!!!

I don't think anyone expected us to suddenly become a great team this season, and asking for fourth isn't really outlandish considering the supposed credentials of some of our more expensive signings. Having said that; who apart from Tevez has done as well as hoped? Johnson has been a bonus, but Barry, SWP, RSC, Adebayor and Given have flattered to deceive, or just been mostly ordinary. We were never going to "do a Chelsea", as they already had quality players and just needed some fine tuning - oh, and a very good manager. But considering all we are up against for fourth are a) Liverpool having a really poor season by their standards, b) a slightly better but still dour Villa, and C) Spurs (who usually bottle it against the Top 4) I think fourth has to be a realistic goal. Our owners think so, Mancini appears to think so, and some of our most vocal (read: mouthy and not-that-good) players think so.

A great team in the future - I hope so. But fourth should only take a bit of character and consistency this season. When will Liverpool be this bad again, for example?

Im just a little fed up with *insert managers name here* being brillant one week after a good result and a worst manager in the world the next after a bad result.

Mainly these claims are made by the same old people and it's just become very very predictable.

Only going to comment on this part but what makes you say that Liverpool are going to be any better in the future? They don't have any money to spend, squad crippled with long term contracts on astronomicasl money for average players and apart from Torres their key players are aging.

In fact, Scousers are going to be out of it for a while I predict unless they are taken over.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

I'd be most worried for next season if we had Liverpool's squad. All the teams around them are getting better & have better players apart from the obvious duo.

Yeah, I did ponder over posting that bit myself. But I'd be surprised if, with their long history of success, Liverpool would be "allowed" to degenerate. Successful Premier League clubs are given such leeway and so many helping hands. I definitely don't see Liverpool as a Newcastle or a Leeds, clubs that overreached and fell because they couldn't live up to their ambitions, spending etc. If we've learnt anything it's that the Premier League's so-called flagship clubs aren't going to be allowed to slip without a fight. Just look at the Rags: vast amounts of debt, and yet they're still given the green light to sign £30m flops, play in the Champions League, and carry on as before. This cartel will not be easy to permanently invade, but - as you suggest - Liverpool are the ones to be picked off right now.
