we are second best by far, up to now

[Craig B]

Horrific first quarter of the game.

I think the problem is all those creative midfield players getting in each other's way while trying to play a killer pass.

Creative players? Like Zabaleta? De Jong? Barry?

Your sarcasm detector must be on the blink.

Goal attempts 7 to 1 says it all.

In a contest of two I doubt we'd even come second on this showing.

No control whatsoever. The ball's like a hot potato!!!

Wasn't on the blink.. just attempting to add to it.

Sunderland looking like a football team.

City looking like a crusty, jism-filled sock.

cheers

[xavi6]

It'll all sort itself out when Vieira comes on for the second half.

[shawzy]

Brill play by Micah...Unlucky Barry.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

30mins in and now we get a shot at goal

[paddyblue]

good effort from barry

[Beefymcfc]

Santa Cruz???

[Mark (Blue Army)]

RSC looks like he's coming on for Bridge

[Esky]

Proactive management, credit Mancini. Hope he's not injured.

[paddyblue]

should have been a red for micah

[bluej]

Makes sense to bring RSC on if we're going to carry on playing this long ball shite.

[mr_nool]

So how will we be playing? Zabba moving back to fullback?
Ouch bad challenge by Richards. Lucky not getting a red.

[Craig B]

should have been a red for micah

He'll never be good enough

[DoomMerchant]

City won't finish this shower of shite display with 11...they are making that clear when even Tevez is committing stupid fouls which result in a yellow. We're getting bossed and clearly are frustrated. Who will take the reins and lead us to the 3 pts we need?

[Beanieboy]

Has Micah been to the Zabba scool of tackling?....and why is there such a big space on Santa's back between the santa and cruz?...
