The toure brothers was awful today.

Stop right there RJ,I won't let you feel like this.A game can be decided by a lump of mud deflecting the ball in the six yard box,or the ball going in off someone's arse.It's in the lap of the gods and this point could be vital,cheer up my man,I love youRandomJ said:The positive side of me wants to think that point could be vital if United drop any along the way but the realistic side of me knows they won't drop any points and that the season is over now.

Oh so you would rather have Mancini, who gets so many line-ups/subs wrong?

This one's interesting to think what we could've done better...
Sure some players looked asleep (Kompany, Yaya, Silva, de Jong in particular) but what would you change?
If you put on Barry for Milner, we probably would've defended better, but how do we make up the attacking? Milner had a few decent crosses. I think the point that Pizarro was the right play is spot on. If Barry and Pizarro were in for de Jong and Milner, this match may have been different.
Everybody is hesitant to get on Kompany and we all love him, but he was poor today. Same goes for Silva. Silva needs a break.
Johnson is not who people think he is. He's a winger, but he likes to cut in and has a tendency to pass back and not take any good shots. I think it was a goal against Sunderland two seasons ago that won him the club's goal of the year? We haven't seen that from him since.
We cried for width from the last few matches, and we somewhat saw that, but we lacked in the middle today.
What do we do going forward? Is it worth it to play small with Aguero/Tevez? Should we adopt last year's three DM strategy and try to grind out matches?
The title was in our hands (all we had to do was beat United and we won the title). Now it's not, and we need three points in every match. We have no choice but to make sure we score, and then defend desperately.

Amen to thatjoezilla said:at times horrible to watch, at times wonderful to watch... surreal.
fuck it, title or no title, this is why i love city and why i'll never miss a match.
Not much wrong with the line up/subs, the players themselves just didn't perform, next question.Silvex said:pudge said:nope, next question.Silvex said:Mourinho in?
