Hang you fucking head in shame and i really do mean that.

Sucker punch again but am not too disappointed as the team are playing well.

However in the second half boro played a high line and we never seemed to be able to turn their defence with a ball over the top. That allowed them to get back in to position and park the bus like first half then it's sideways passing time again and we struggle to break them down

Sometimes the odd long ball can turn the defence . Also when we get to wide positions still not enough men in the box.

I thought we had done it though , sometimes football is gutting but boro did play well second half and changed the way they play, unfortunately they changed the way they played but we never changed ours in response.

I think the point is we can dominate but we still miss chance after chance. We know our defense is not good and need new players but we should know also our scoring options upfront is only Kun. Other players have weak shot that easy to save except KDB so basically they need to get the ball 10 yards to score just like Barca game when the game is open but today game we cannot do that because their 10 men in the box. I think most of the team know our weakness and next games we will still facing the same old problem when they park the bus. I hope Jesus can do well otherwise we may not finish as we expect. For me I not expect to win this season and I am still happy how we change to play Pep way.

It's a long time since I've been so bored watching a City team.....sideways backwards backwards sideways.....start again, fucking boring football

We seriously lack height and any physical team will give us hard time.
Back to the board but I have faith in pep. He is human after all.
It was a small blip and we got to move on.
Come on city.

I'll tell you what our deficiency is - mental weakness. There are too many players in our team that switch off or shrug their shoulders and give up when things get a bit tough. I've said this before and it showed again today. The worst culprits in my view are two of our finest ever players - Silva & Aguero - and I fear both will be in danger of going this summer if they don't toughen up. Neither are much less talented than players like Messi or Suarez but neither has that will to win that marks those two out. Players like Tevez, Keane, Vieira, even Andy Morrison, who took games and their teams by the scruff of the neck. Silva in particular is a complete powder-puff of a player - great when he's got time and space but fuck all use when he needs to dig a bit deeper.

When I look at the great sides in my lifetime, the 60's team and that of the late '70's, I see players like Book, Doyle, Pardoe, Oakes, Summerbee, Bell, Lee, Tueart, Hartford, Watson, Kidd, Royle, Donachie. There were enough players to carry the one or two, like Peter Barnes & Neil Young, who may have been a bit more mentally fragile. Today we maybe had 3 or 4 who had that mental toughness - the desire and will to win, the strength not to make mistakes and to take responsibility when things get a bit tough. I just don't see enough of those players in my team and that's Pep's biggest problem.

Bang on the money.

In hindsight should have changed the team around a bit.

A tough Champions league group is costing us a lot of points. I think we would have thrashed Boro had we not played in midweek. They were ridiculously over defensive and caught us with one of their very few attacks all game

Do one mate. Less of the fcuk off.
The problem is we don't convert our many openings/chances and are vulnerable at the back when put under any kind of pressure.
Consequently average sides who pack their defences, ride their luck and then break on us at pace just once or twice can get a result.
Do you go to the games?

Do I go to games? What you gonna do bash me with your half n half scarf?? What a ridiculous reply especially when it looked like you'd took the moral high ground. Pmpl crank.
