De Jong was brilliant as covered elsewhere but Adam Johnson also exceptionally good in parts and Adebayor played some beautiful stuff, some incredible skill and he really wanted it yesterday, dropping deep, back, wide and going beyond their back line.
If there was a mistake yesterday it was (as someone else said)....bringing on Vieira instead of Zabaleta....just as yesterday was Nigel's type of game, so too was it Pablo's.....Patrick simply doesn't have that half yard of snap and aggressiveness that their midfield (esp with both Gibson and Fletcher marauding around) demanded.
Other positives were Nedum (brilliant once more), Vincent and good to see Bridge back. I now feel that a back line of Nedum, Kompany, Lescott, Bridge looks....on current form (and with the return from injury of Joleon) would be our strongest offering. Be very interesting to see how Boateng fits in....specifically where Mancini sees him being used?
I thought Ireland, once again, looked terrible and (it saddens me to say) that increasingly I can't find it in myself to be too bothered should we sell Shaun in the summer
All in all though my glass is still very much half full.
We can do it

I Blame those pants completely...
In the 93rd minute our defence was distracted on seeing our Dazzer in the stand wearing criminally wrong fashion and it caused a lapse in concentration that Scholes took advantage of...
The ref should have taken it into account and disallowed the goal...I was shocked that it stood

I know we all got our hearts broken again yesterday. It probably made it worse as we should have had a last minute goal and not them but typical city will not go away. However 4th really is in our hands and if the rags do beat spurs that makes it a little easier for us. It's still very possible to get 4th.FACT : If we win the remaining of our matches we are certified 4th still.. So nothing changed there..
So people gotta stop going overboard with 4th is lost not in our hands and is lost now as it is still ours to lose it's just we gonna have to work harder for it. Lets just be happy its actually not over like with the bin dippers or Villa eh??

True its in our hands but that's a tall order, isn't it ? Forget about the home games (Villa and Spuds no less) but you're presuming we will beat Arsenal at the Emirates (not easy to say the least) and Westham also away who will probably be fighting to stay up !! Spuds on the other hand apart from the rags match have 2 easyish ones against Bolton home and Burnley away. If they get a result with the rags, then its all over for us.
