And I agree with those three

2 Errors cost us tonight but the defence was shaky all game and i dont understand why.

I dont agree with any of you I'm afraid. Next season maybe.

Maybe next year. If "they" win their games in hand we'll be 8 points behind. While doable I think we may come to rue Stoke and tonight and finish second/third by two or three points.

And wasnt it shocking that we conceeded those 2 goals?

We'l learn from that I'm sure. Its clicking now, I'm fkn getting excited.

We will finish 4th, 3rd tops. If we get within 10 points of the title winner it will be progress for us.

Yes I agree City will win the title this season - IF they get Dzeko or someone who actually plays centre-forward.

Agree! I'd be happy with 4th me.. but I really think we're going to win it. The only other team I can see are Arsenal. Rags might have the edge in games and points at the moment and Chelsea could go on a however many game winning streak. but the way I see it, we've had a stop start season and were there abouts.. our team will learn for this game! I've got a feeling the team is actually bonding and coming together.

I want to believe, but looking at the table I'm not too sure.

No we won't. Arse, chelsea and the rags will be in front of us. We'll do well to hold off spurs.

This was a very important weekend, made even better by the postponements and we fecked it up. IF we'd won tonight, we'd have had the opportunity to lead the table for several weeks till the others played the extra games. That could have given us the belief. What tonight proved is that we don't have the bottle/bollox for the really important matches.

Sadly I don't think we have a chance of winning the league this season. We have to have a plan B to use when decent organised teams park the bus against us. I know we had masses of the ball and could have had penalties etc etc but Everton's gameplan allowed for City to have a lot of the ball and they would sit in numbers ro stop us going through the middle.

6 games we have failed to score already and each time against a team which knows how to defend.

No chance of us winning the League this season, we're simply not picking up points when we have to. Next season, maybe.

Interesting.



Sorry, wrong thread.

Very true....even when they were down to 10 men they looked like they had 2 or 3 extra men on the park every time we went at them

Agree entirely that we need to adapt to this kind of opposition. My main issues are us trying to walk the ball through them, a lack of a combative targetman in the box and the poor quality of ball we are flinging into the box (as well as some fairly poor use of corners and free kicks this season in general).

We only need to look at the case study marked Arsenal to see how tried and tested (as ineffective) some of the above "strategies" are.

I have faith however that we have the resources (playing and coaching and financial) to resolve this and finish this season much stronger than we have started it...and that can't be something to be too down in the mouth about

I'm pretty sure we will be within ten points of the title winners, whoever they may be. I'll say more, I'm pretty sure we won't be farther than five points from the title winners at the end of the season.

No we wont. Your all idiots.

The scum are 2 points ahead of us with 2 games in hand and unbeaten. They are going to win the leaue with probably the worst team in the top 5. Its been gifted to them by us & chelsea throwing away points against shit teams.

There's still more than half the season to play; they won't stay unbeaten and we will learn from games like this and Stoke. They will throw away points too, and we will be able to close the gap; if we will close it completely, i don't know, but we won't be far from the top at the end of the season, we will in the fight till the end; of that I'm certain.
