Someone else mentioned it, but had these draws happened at the beginning of the season we'd be happy (or happier) if we were now winning and in the same situation in the league - having fourth place in our own hands going into the xmas run...
Anyway, we need to click now - I thought having come from 2 nil down yesterday and winning 3-2 that we had finally become a team. I think had we won the game in the end it would have set us up perfectly for the liverpool match, because I've watched the top four come back against teams again and again and its only this season I've seen city do it on a number of occasions. It takes spirit... we definitely have that. It takes a great attacking threat... we definitely have that. It takes a stern defence and obviously that's where we're falling short.
If we fix this defence, we will finish top four absolutely no doubt about it.

yeah we have new players but they should of gelled together by now we need to stop the stupid goals , work on attacking corners and then were sorted !!

There is nothing to substantiate that statement except your own gut instinct, if you look at the supporting evidence then the likelihood is the contrary to what your saying.
Just face the facts that Hughes is a numpty and your faith is misguided.
Eventually we will all be singing from the same hym sheet on here trust me, its just taking a little bit longer for the penny to finally drop with some.
