MIlner looks very, very sharp

[Dameerto]

FUCLING bastards threw the cup final - the mutha****ing set of absolute bellended wankers. Every one of them except Milner and maybe Zabs.

Their defenders have earned their packet this week.

Last ditch tackles and some good saves have Aguero with 1 instead of 4.

Seems a bit like it don't it. All of the sudden Silva is not only passing Clichy for example.

yep thought that all game... given some freedom? looks like he did with Villa suddenly.

Definitely a difference in their attitudes.

Tbf though, he was like this at the beginning of last season as well until Mancini put him in the middle and broke his form. Then this season I think he's probably one of our best players. 100 commitment, always, but this seasons his energy has been matched by quality and composure he's lacked for most of his time here.

I always thought he had more in him than just a hard worker. When he's given the right role he has great technique and skill. Does seem like the shackles are off a bit now

Shh. Mase is trying to sleep.

READING OR NOT , WE HAVE A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE OUT THERE........

yes very much apparent, so why not have that attitude for a cup final? Very strange.

If the boss pisses you off to the point where you just fucjkign hate him ?????????...either that or these players are playing with more freedom to match their playing styles without being fucking told to play out of position etc.

[stevefromdonny]

That's what I was thinking, the manager's job(at least part of it) is to get the players properly motivated, if you spend all week calling your players cunts and telling them you could do it better, they are not going to be in the right mindset to run through a wall for you.

[Sideshow Bob]

more running from our lads, for sure, but it's hard to say whether it's a difference in attitude or just having fun against a shit reading defense.

This is true, over a long period it can be extremely demoralising to the point where actions are not totally conscious.

A few things in this game so far are Silvas movement, Milner all over like he used to be with Villa, Barry pushing forward at every chance. Tevez up for it... to spot a few.

Thinking about it we should play a game of spot the difference!

[MaineRoadMemories]

What I picked up on is that our players have attempted more dribbles and taken on defenders more in 45 mins than the whole season.

[Beefymcfc]

11 shots on target, 1 goal. We're playing excellent football that is not being rewarded for our effort.

[Green & Blue]

What i picked up on is the marked improvement in Harts kicking
