A few observations tonight

[OJ Blue]

1. Listened to a fellow blue whinge about the £10 tickets earlier BBC radio Manchester, WTF! I can't understand why he would knock the clubs initiative on trying to fill the ground for an important game and complaining that Seasoncard holders should get the best deal (of course they should) but is it not better to see fewer empty seats? Really can't get my head around it.

2. Were still in the box seat imho, long way to go, would we have it any other way?

3. The ref did us no favours, but Everton deserved their win, we only have ourselves to blame, Distin looked the bollox too for me.The first goal was crucial tonight, and so it proved.

4. Nigel Gleghorn is a bit annoying, he always jumps on everyones bandwagon when they make a good point, he contradicts himself and he makes me want to fall asleep with his dour North Eastern accent.

Agree on all points - is it really a disaster if we don't finish 4th ???
We'll be back stronger next season but it's still in our hands<br /><br />-- Wed Mar 24, 2010 11:30 pm --<br /><br />Agree on all points - is it really a disaster if we don't finish 4th ???

Spurs will probably feel that they're in the 'box seat' now ...... but here's another observation from tonites game

i'd like to ask Mancini why , when Everton have a free kick from a ridiculously tight angle , do we have TWO players stood in a wall ........ and NOBODY marking a guy stood ten yards away who is free to smash in a shot-cum- cross , when the ball is rolled to him???

Because the Management are nothing more than a gang of imposters. They are fucking clueles.

My observations:

1) Why was Johnson taken off when Santa Cruz came on? We put the best header on but take off the best crosser. Makes no sense at all.

2) Gareth Barry. Anonymous again. Waste of space.

3) We shouldn't have gone 4-4-2 it left us outnumbered in midfield and gave them the upper hand.

4) Why did we take Richards off rather than Zabaleta? Richards is a bigger threat going forward.

We played well in spells but that's not good enough to win games.

I thought Richards was pretty awful - looked clumsy all night
Zabba had a pretty solid game

Well I,d like to ask numerous q,s to our management !!
1) Why did we start with only 1 up front.
2) Why change a winning team
3) Why was Ireland seemingly playing behind Tevez,and we had a 6`3" centre forward sat on the bench.
4) Why did it take Mancini 41 minutes to decide we needed Bellamy to play along side Tevez up front,again we had a natural cetre forward on the bench.
5) What fucking example of a captain does Toure produce.
6) SWP was like a headless chicken,but NOT on his own.
7) Can some other fucker take a decent corner,instead of Barry.Bleedin` hell one corner taken from the east stand nearly eneded up in my lap in the fooking west stand it was that bad !!!!!
8) Why do I need to ask all these simple questions.
OTHER THAN THE ABOVE WE WERN,T THAT BAD !! WERE WE ?????????

In my opinion Johnson wasn't having much influence in this game , if any ...... not that he was on his own either ......... and Mancini probably thought it best to take him off ....... but yes , i can see your point with regards to him possibly supplying RSC with crosses.

Richards did OK, and had a right go when he could

No one can be faulted for effort. It was just one of those nights when City played with too much rage and passion and with not enough guile in midfield

The problem is we have loads of really talented forwards, but we don't have the right balance in midfield. we can still get 4th

Supporters have to play their part

Because we were looking comfortable and he wanted to close the game up..... oh wait.........is Alan Ball still here ?
