Am I missing something or are we actually playing rubbish?

Seems just as well that Leeds are abysmal so we don't have much to beat but we really should be dominating the ball and looking much better than this.I will make allowances because we are 2 up and can stroll it but I would rather we didn't.

I think we've reversed season form and look shaky at the back playing out, but up front lively and energetic.

Yaya, Tevez, Kun and silva all threatening.

I was wondering if Silva was even playing? I know he is good when he gets on the ball near the box but he should be much more of a controlling playing in the middle but just hasn't been.

Possibly trying to do too much with the first pass out rather than just getting control and moving the ball to players in space.Carlos and Kun are not really the best to hit from deep.

I think the non-British attitude at strolling when feeling comfortable... it's a big issue, yet far to be sorted by mancini.

I dont think we are playing rubbish mate , not 100 mile an hour stuff i know but thats because we dont have to I can see us getting another couple 2nd half , D H when you see the game does it line up to what you see in training i e when Manc takes certain players to one side set plays etc etc .

not playing rubbish is fair, but DH assessment still stands tall and had costed us many times before

We should be dominating possession and letting them run around like the mediocre players they are. Instead we seem to be playing too direct. I know Aguero had some success running off their last man but that should not be our main strategy.

Also wish Rodders was playing instead of Garcia, just to see if he can offer more mobility (who wouldn't?)

bit harsh. leeds are working very hard and making it tough for us to settle in midfield. the longballs to our midgets need to stop though.

They seem intent on beating the crap out of their own players, no wonder we're winning.

End of Leeds
You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

That's a nice start to the second half. Should be a stroll in the park now. I just hope we'll keep on playing football.

What's the combined height of Silva, Tevez and Aguero?
"I used to be 6 foot 2 with curly hair, look what it's done to me"

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

About the same as Pantilimon.

What was it Leed's away support shouted as Panty made the goal kick?
