City v Boro post match

FanchesterCity said:
First half we totally dominated and played some wonderful football but didn't take our chances (bar the solitary goal).
Second half, 'Boro came out believing there was something in it for them, and pressed us very well. They resorted to long ball knowing full our high line would give them chances. They also quickly sussed that they had more success in the air than on the ground.

Ultimately, they controlled the tempo in the second half and they probably deserved the point (or at least made the most of their game plan and nicked a great point). Lousy result for us mind.

Many will say it's not the end of the world, and results like that can happen. They'd be right.
It's also fair to say that a PL winning team can only sustain a handful of such results and we've already had two in Everton and 'Boro. We've yet to face LIverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea - so we've got our work cut out.

'Boro support was very good.

from where i was sat ( north stand) i barely heard anything from them all game.
 
Going back through the Barca post-match thread and don't see any contributions from the "Pep out" trolls in this thread. Wonder why?

What gives you the right to post offensive and derogatory comments like this and calling posters knicker wetters simply for stating their opinion? unless you were watching the Saturday film and not at the match you would have seen a team come out for the second half not being prepared to put the same effort in as the first half. resorting to passing about at the back exactly as done before (Sunderland at home comes to mind) with disastrous results. lack of concentration, poor technical control and generall being complacent. you sound happy with that. other posters on here me included are not.

Agree with most of that but I think the second half was more about us and some of us are overlooking what the Barca game will have taken out of the players. You don't control the tempo with 29% possession(and only 44% of that was in our final 3rd) we made changes at the end of the game and they capitalized on a few weaknesses that happen when you shift players about late on in a game... they didn't really deserve it they had 3 shots on target the whole game but fair play to them for staying in the game and not caving under all that pressure for the majority of the match.

I did and i called it wrong.

What that has got to do with anything im not sure other than you point scoring, however, its my opinion that as a team we have improved dramatically and that under Pep and the plan, it will only get better.

Not point scoring, just a had a sense of déjà vu.
