great break. disgusting finish. dzeko almost fucked that up.

[Sister of fu]

Get in. All about Zabba.

[Risby]

How did that clumsy fucker score that!

[shawzy]

First attack and goal....Still fucking shit..Im not even applauding.

[Cit.revenge]

ufffffffffffffffff Edin score i don' t know how with that bad ball

[Dameerto]

At least Dzeko is trying to force things to happen - end result a breakaway and a goal.

[blues2win]

The new manager from Espanol has really got them playing. That said this performance is a fucking disgrace. Forget about the title will we make top three?

[FA cup winners 2006]

pathetic. [highlight]How can a team chasing the title play with so little desire?[/highlight]

joe hart wants to be the best keeper in the world? Not with bullshit like that.

Look for the fellow with a scarf running around the technical area.

sorry big guy ... Mancini doesn't tell the team to go out and play as if they've all taken a few hits of nyquil before going out on the field. Are you saying that we can't even play southhampton without milner and kompany?

I don't think that Mancini comes out with super tactics, and maybe he's got them wrong in this game? I don't know ... but i'd like to think we can set up in almost any formation with the players we got and at the very least AVOID being down 2-0 to southhampton.

But i'm sure Mancini told Hart to drop that shot.

Get a grip, We have by far the best squad in the league and usually we can brush aside most of the teams playing in 2nd gear but as soon as someone gets in our face we dont have a clue. look at how liverpool's style of play has improved as the season has gone on. Having a top quality coach makes a huge difference, sadly we dont

[Lee_R]

He tried to miss that Im sure of it.

[kinkylola]

i had a whole post just typed out ... instead i'll say DZEKO GOAL! and then i'll say ... does Mancini get credit for setting the team up to attack through lightning counter attacks? My guess is no ... the answer will be that the players managed it inspite of Mancini.

Are you finding the fan concept hard to understand?

[ozzyisgod]

What a cheeky chip so close to gk ;)

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

Great breakway to be fair. Clever from Edin D.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

to be fair you can't blame Mancini entirely for not motivating the players.
If they can't be motivated themselves knowing how important this math is then they can get the fuck out of the club.

This

This for me to.....We have used a similar system to this many times and slaughtered the opposition...Mancini cannot control players desire and mistakes on the pitch.

This this this.




I've turned off the stream now and am listening to BBC Manchester instead. Might as well. There wasn't much to see.

Bollox. We have used this system and failed to impress many times. Every away game is a concern. Sunderland (several times), QPR, Swansea, Arsenal (several times) Everton, Ajax, Dortmund, Lisbon, Liverpool etc etc.

No sign of learning from it.

[TheReturnOfTheSpecialOne]

Would you guys believe it if I told you that the only players from today's contest that I have in my FF starting lineup are:

Zaba
Dzeko
Puncheon
Lambert

2 goals, two assists
(at least, so far!)

[ant london]

Looked ugly as you like but Dzeko actually did well to get that in when the ball was pulled behind him. Credit where it is due ;-)

This.
Dzeko fucking made that goal for himself.

Nope. Just cuz I'm a fan doesn't mean I have to tongue their assholes, especially when they're playing like garbage

get a grip? If we really do have the best squad in the league then telling the players to come out with short passing and possession away from home shouldn't be something that breaks the team and has everyoen making stupid errors all over the field.

Are you then implying that Rodgers is a top quality coach? Because if so I would say you are the one that needs to get a grip.

Oh so you're bi-polar then? Great to know.
