great game in that we won. enjoyed the excitement but too close for comfort
not very impressed with rodwell at all. barry, dejong, milner much better any day.
imo lescott is a liability still despite last year's heroics. he makes me nervous every time he touches the ball. maybe a back three of vinny, zaba and clichy/richards. Then can use milner and kolarov on the wings in a 352. sell lescott please and use the money on other signings.
hope sergio is ok. tevez and nasri looked great. dzeko fumbled but got it when it counted. think kolarov can be a real impact this year based on the preseason but only had a minor role today. Balotelli looked good as well in his cameo

have only been a city fan since mancini came over since I have followed him in his career. love the blues now but have to agree with you that the old guard or those accostomed to years of losing will never get it out of there system. can't teach old dogs new tricks.
i try to ignore those comments because often filled with self loathing of the team or internal self doubt. will take years for the blues to clean themselves of that but will eventually happen
