Re: First City game 1970 in Belfast v Linfield, cup winners' cup, lost 2-1. First league game, 1974 at Goodison, lost 2-0. Some things never change.

Embarrassingly bad. Arguably worse than Southampton away. No leader, no driving force, no attacking flair, passes out of defence often finding the opposition. Dzeko completely at sea, and on his arse a lot of the time. Silva strangely ineffective. Actually, everyone strangely ineffective...

Re: Mancini out? Abysmal performance but if you want Mourinho, who do you want in 2 years' time when he moves on, as he always does?

Was having cardiac moments at 2-3 and 3-4. They never gave up. A draw would have been a disaster after storming into a two goal lead. Vital win.

AJ deals mortal blow in title chase. 'Typical' is making a comeback. Get the feeling that one more points shift in favour of the rags will set them on an inexorable surge. If we keep it to minus 4-7 points, not more, and actually start to play well, then who knows. There has always been a...

Tevez with Aguero Nasri, bench More 1st half urgency, rather than relying on 2nd half surge Faster on the break instead of this slow build up tactic that allows defences to organise Try to create more goals rather than waiting for one to come along from somewhere or other (IMO) The rags...

I'm with the Aguero/Tevez combo, as suggested by many here. Nasri just won't do. More first half urgency needed, rather than the second half surge we seem to now rely on. Faster on the break is preferable to the slow build up that allows defences time to organise. And we need to create...

There was actually a fair amount of support for having Balo in the starting 11 on this site. The argument was that he could get on the end of crosses and set pieces where the rags were perceived to be vulnerable. That never happened. He also has the ability to make something happen anywhere on...

If it's complete BS, Mancini should issue a statement saying so and send someone along to have a quiet word with the Guardian. Can't imagine Sheikh Mansour and Khaldoon would be too impressed to read this. Their man in touch of the title and negotiating his own departure at the same time????

mancini's tenure was considered a couple of months ago and he was given another 5 years this year's CL has been grim so far but hands up who thought we would actually win it i fully expect plenty of support for mancini at the match tomorrow (assuming we don't go 2 down early on)
