Older fans will know what I mean !
Ducado said:It would be nice for some nice calm analysis of the game instead of people just venting their frustrations
Go and get your tea (or Dinner) open a beer or pour yourself a glass of wine, take a deep breath, and relax
Ranting and raving is not adding to the the discussion and I am sure that when some of you have calmed down a bit you will be embarrassed.
We will loose games this season and we will play badly, all teams do but I hope some lessons have been learnt, but it was never going to be an easy game today, it was their biggest game ever, and the players knew it, onwards and upwards damage done lessons learnt

But a hugely overrated and actually, fundamentally not particularly good right back. City fans are wowed by hi committment, and the media hype which has whipped up around him - started by rat face Neville, actually.
But when you look at it objectively, dispassionately, he is flaky in defence and rarely, if ever does an attack featuring Zabaleta result in a goal. The guy is average. Top bloke, love him. But average.
Of course he did. But that doesn't mean he is genius, does it. He fluked that one in as well.
BillyShears said:Very disappointing. Thought we tried hard enough, but simply didn't show enough quality in midfield or up front. Too many sideways passes, not enough incisive play. Tempo was a huge problem again. All in all, far too reminiscent of last season.
On the plus side you'd think Pellegrini has now seen all our weaknesses at first hand.

I saw this so many times last season, but we kept making the same mistakes.TGR said:I think a little bit of perspective is needed right now. Yes it it was a poor collective performance and we have been dumped back to earth with a serious thud! However, if you are going to get a swift kick up the arse and BIG wake up call then the 1st away game of the season is possibly the best time to get it.
The manager now knows exactly what he is dealing with and he needs the chance to sort it out. He probably now realises that some of players are not as good as they think they are and they can't keep blaming it on everyone else - which as we all know they are very quick to do so.
Lets take stock and start making some objective judgments after circa 10 games or so.
As crazy as this may sound the defeat today may well be a blessing in disguise for us.
