Mad Zabba is the dogs bollocks.

Great tackle and impressive again tonight.

Paddy to Grab One Tonight?

Usually I defend players and they end up scoring.

But even I don't think Jo is capable tonight.

Fair point about their home record but they've got everybody fit and at it which I'm not sure was true when those poor results occurred. At their best they're a very tough proposition. My own feeling is that our midfield could do with a bit more snap and pace particularly with no Silva. Barry is slow, De Jong not swift and Yaya is obviously leggy. Result they're passing through us.

Easy to blame the tactics but I'm not sure that's the cause. I would bring on Johnson because it would occupy Clichy and then put Milner back on the left where he could cover Zabaleta. And then pray.

I agree with this. Pace (or lack thereof) is our biggest problem - especially in midfield. because of this, I think Arsenal and Tottenham are probably the teams in the league that are the most difficult for us to play against. When playing the other top teams, we can much more comfortably play our own game.

Come on City attack them ffs

[carl_feedthegoat]

fuck off jo.

[Esky]

Barry and Jo are painful to watch tonight. Has to be time for AJ or SWP soon.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Is Mancini waiting for us to go 1 - nil down before he brings on AJ ?????

[mr_nool]

This little act from Jo, not even I can defend. The hand was nowhere near his face.

David Silva has been at the heart of everything good recently and is missing tonight. We have a half decent squad and we have like for like replacements for all players except Silva, during the window is there any creative midfield spark that could be back up for David Silva? To have a situation where Ali B was backup for Eyal in the Prem, so on any night we are not without a creative midfield player.

Totally agree and have made the same point in both this thread and another.
