There getting in our faces like Swansea did....Wakeup blues.

[kinkylola]

Defense is the biggest worry for me ... Seems like no one is on the same wave length here. Without vinnie we have no leader on the pitch

[MilnersJaw]

With Kompany on the pitch it's like a different team at the back.

[PeterParker]

The commentators are absolutely right, there is no protection for the center back from the middle.

Yaya and Fernandinho do not cover them.

We need Gazbaz.

[mr_nool]

I miss Barry!

[mr_nool]

And Tevez.

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Fucking lucky this is Hull, if it were a decent team we'd be 2-0 down by now.

[kinkylola]

We see glimpses on offense ... Not nearly enough ... But glimpses. On d we are hopeless

[ozzyisgod]

And Tevez.

Defo

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

Wonder what Roberto is up to?

[mr_nool]

Wonder what Roberto is up to?

A glass of Chianti, a Sopcast stream and a smug smile?

[Cit.revenge]

I don't know who sucks more this is pfffffff Fernandhino could get red by half time.

[Cocacolajojo1]

Wonder what Roberto is up to?

You could also argue that our current problems are because Pellegrini has to fix what Roberto broke.

[Im_Spartacus]

Very worrying this, whilst the defence is the obvious problem, it's a symptom not just of the lack of protection ahead of them, but also how wasteful we are in possession in critical areas pf the midfield

30 minutes in, and neither Fernandinho nor Toure have yet found a blue shirt in an offensive position from about 10 efforts, either passing it directly to a Hull player or kicking it at their legs.

[Tony P]

Turgid.

[Longball]

this is a very poor start, Fernandinho hasn't set the world alight has he? cmon lads

[clippo22]

Do we have a midfield? Not helping going forward or defending!

[carl_feedthegoat]

This is shite,fucking shite.

[Socrates]

For fucking fucks sake!

Bugger the game, it is DEFENCE not "defense" and what I take at "offense" is OFFENCE, try the word "attack" it is what we tend to say in the civilised world.

[Beefymcfc]

Very, very worrying. We've been very lucky so far and Hull could be a couple up. We don't understand the system and to carry on trying to keep a high-line at the back even though we don't have a settled defence is a concern.

We don't look that good going forward either.
