Timing.

We got the three points which is all that matters today. BUT FFS Dzeko has got to go! Sorry to put the lad down, but I've always had my doubts. I've just had enough now and I am ready to speak out! The guy is totally out of his depth a this level and it's now embarrassing for us and for him His touch is a joke, his awareness non-existent, and unless Aguero gets back soon we have no chance of the Prem this season if we have to rely on him alone. He is now my fourth choice striker, and I think he would struggle to get in most Prem teams - enough is enough!!!!!

Hansen back to being a Cnut

"stoke comfortable" "Barca hammered City"

Does he watch these games? Or have I got blue tinted specs on?

Motd. Alan Hansen on city's recent 'wobble' Chelsea beat us, we drew with Norwich, and BARCA HAMMERED US????

I was a little confused by Stoke's tactics after going behind. 20 minutes to save the game and they carry on defending.

We really won that match without breaking sweat and it was ideal for us to have one of our off days against such opposition.

It really was quite dull to watch. A few round us nearly gave themselves coronary attacks moaning at Dzeko. Still can't work out what went wrong with the tap in even after watching the GIF!

What a lethargic and pointless analysis of the game.

Hughes felt Stoke were unfairly prevented from testing Hart more often and said: "There were a couple of occasions where I thought - call it professional or cynical - we had good opportunities that were stopped because of my players getting taken out.

"I thought there was a situation - about three or four - when Stoke City players were taken out quite cynically and (that) stopped good situations.

Glad we showed some steel.

I think Hughes is onto something here you know. Our players did obstruct theirs on a couple of occasions. Now, if only there was some way of punishing this, say with some sort of move whereby the ball is placed dead and the aggrieved team is allowed to cross, pass or shoot this ball unopposed. Could call it a free-kick or something like that. I know it sounds stupid, but really, Hughes does have every right to be upset over this and we really need to implement a system that punishes professional and, above all, cynical fouls.

Now, hold onto your hats, we could even introduce a sort of card system to coincide with this punishment...

We were far the better team, Hart had hardly anything to do
