Chairman's Interview

Not what I seen but then I am not a specialist in psychology and body language like yourself.

Sometimes, you just have to accept you were beaten by a better team on the day. Whether it be tactical, personnel based, missing chances or making mistakes at the back, it happens. We are playing in a competition against high quality teams where a game can turn on one mistake. There are so many variables involved, some we are not aware of. Putting it down to some faux psychological analysis and body language is hardly the basis of a strong and cogent argument.

The coming from one goal down thing.....what are the context of those games? You use that as a sign of weakness but it does not explain the fact that we have been on lung busting winning runs. It's simply a selective use of stats without context. The kind of stuff that pundits like Merson et al come up with.
The never coming back from one goal down for the past 500 years stat or whatever it is is a very strange stat, as how often are we 1 goal down at half time?

Same as the United comeback kings against shite teams..... which I interpret as being shit enough to go 1 goal down to a shite team
 
The mental aspect is a valid question that should be discussed on an equal footing to the tactics/formation. Dismissing it out of hand because it does not suit with your own point of view is ignorant. City have the best squad in England which has been proven over the last decade but exposed season after season in Europe. Beaten by ourselves before a ball was kicked.

The formation is the same
The players are the same
The tactics are the same
The manager is the same

I haven’t tried crack cocaine yet or went bankrupt so I’m not quite on the same level as Merson.
Psychology is a huge part of any sport, but there’s no way City players a mentally weak. That doesn’t however mean that they couldn’t be mentally stronger. Pretty certain every top club will work on this
 
Remarkable to think that Khaldoon's been our Chairman since he was 32 years old. Thirty-two! Christ that's how old I am and I still feel half like a kid.

Could easily be at the helm for at least another 20 years.
