I was thinking at what the board said to Noel in that video on the official site, last week, when he said to them we will lose the final with Stoke.

I have to say after that we look like a team teetering on the brink. One more bad result and the wheels could fall off spectacularly. That would be typical City. Two games, one point , no goals against garbage who surrendered 80% of the possession to us. With that amount of ball NO team worth it´s salt should be drawing back to back blanks.
Big job on now and as I feared all along Jan is going to fucl us over

Im so annoyed this sort of side should be being pressed aside by our team, it was a weakness in the past -the "hard working team" We should be able to overcome this sort of park the bus stuff. And to get sucker punched on the break at the end was unforgivable.

Completely agree Chinners but I can't have been the only one close to tears at the final whistle. It's going to take many years of winning things to finally lose the Typical City tag and at the moment the title seems miles away.

3 points against Liverpool would go a long way to lifting us all I guess

We are a very different proposition at home. We'll beat the racists comfortably.

I hope you're right mate, but that confident swagger from a few weeks ago has left me

I think it has left some of the players as well, mate, but it can come back as quickly as it went away. They are the best set of players we have had in my time watching City and I for one believe in them. Perhaps they just need to focus on the things they do well for a bit.

It can and hopefully will come back quickly. I'm going to focus on that for the rest of the evening now and avoid SSN and MoTD2!

Here's my theory. 3 away games that we haven't got a result from. And 3 reasons why.

1. The pitches. We are still getting results at home but away we are struggling. And all 3 of those pitches have looked absolutely dreadful with the ball bobbling about. This has affected our passing game. -

Possible solution. More long shots and crosses to our tall forwards ie Dzeko.

2. Squad depth. Mancio showed today that he really doesn't have faith in the depth of our squad. De Jong - subbed at half time. Nasri - subbed at around 60 minutes. Kolarov - subbed at 70. Whilst I applaud Mancio making positive substitutions I'd have preferred Nasri to have stayed on longer, to have some faith shown in him.

3, Change in approach. We've been found out since the Napoli away game. Teams park the bus and try to counter us. Early on in the season we sat back for the first 20 minutes and gave the opposition a sniff and drew them out before we destroyed them. We don't seem to be doing this any more. Maybe it wasn't a ploy after all and we were just slow starters.

I think there is one positive to come out of today.

He has to have been pissed off today to have had to bring on the players he did - almost an admission he got it badly wrong to trust some of those players to start. Some of those players seriously let him down today, and it would not surprise me if we don't see a couple of them again in a city shirt given that the window is now open

de Jong was a tactical substitution to get someone else into Yaya's place in attack. In my opinion.

I think it's all down to us beating the rags 6-1. Everybody has started lining up against us like they are at the Alamo, even Liverpool & Chelsea. Then some bad finishing & dodgy officialdome has done the rest. Napoli showed twice how a not especially good team can fuck us up if we're not on our game. We only beat Villareal in injury time. Others are doing the same.

People ignored the Napoli result & insisted they were fantastic but imo we underperformed & lacked a plan B. then we let in crappy goals. It is our weakness when things go wrong.

It is the final hurdle to us becoming the team we hope to be. We are not there yet.

I'm back from the beach with my Bengal nutter of a cat.....had a row with a Mexican..told him to fuck off...had another row with security..I reminded them that I live in the fucking penthouse and I can throw peanuts at the peasants whenever I choose to do so.. I'm going to put my St. George flag on my balcony and start a war.


On the plus side my Mrs is very understanding and has just taken the cork out of a bottle of Moet (cos Im still half a flash bastid) to calm me down.

It is not easy though.
THEY SAY SWEARING IS DUE TO A LIMITED VOCABULARY. I KNOW THOUSANDS OF WORDS, BUT I STILL PREFER "FUCK OFF" TO "GO AWAY"

But we had 19 opportunities to score today and 10 corners, against their 6 and 1. On any other day Dzeko could have been walking away with the matchball

Its just a bad day at the office as far as I am concerned and not a symptom of a deeper malaise.
