Castiel said:Deserved result. Your midweek break gave you that extra sharpness. Mourinho should have rotated we're looking really flat at the moment.
Castiel said:Mourinho: 'My team didn't fail, but City played much better than us and when the best team wins, football is at peace.'
Mourinho: 'The second goal was an offside but we would still have lost 1-0 as we were never close to scaring City in the game.'
No slating him over his comments today?

Castiel said:You're having a go for the generic excuses all managers give? Pellegrini had plenty in the league match. He rightly said the best team won, and undermined his own excuse by saying we didn't trouble you enough to warrant any result. You were much better on the day and looked sharper all over but we've looked tired since WBA and you were at home. Good luck in the rest of the tournament. At least we'll have fewer fixtures.
Yes it happens but City at the Etihad after an away game was always going to be tough with you getting a break. If we were going to Spurs or something it wouldn't be so bad. Mourinho should have rotated, our energy and pressing just wasn't there at all and the signs were showing at WBA. He needs to make better use of the squad like Pellegrini did. If it was the reverse and you came to Stamford Bridge after say Sunderland away, while we had a week off, you'd think the same. It isn't an excuse, but clearly your players were much sharper.City Raider said:can't blame you for searching for positives after that, but plenty of good teams win on 3 days rest against teams with a week's rest
it wasn't sharpness, it was tactics, our midfield set up totally different yesterday and left hazard nowhere to go, toure absolutely owned matic and garcia was immense
the biggest irony of all though is mourinho, who is the best at manipulating the press to apply pressure on other teams, accusing them of misrepresenting him! dont bite the hand that feeds you jm!
