City vs Birmingham - Official Match Thread

[skyblues4ever]

I must ask this one last question

All those at the beginning of the thread who say 2-0, 3-0, we'll hammer them.

Do they actually watch us play or do they come here, predict something stupid and then vanish till the next game??

I was one who said 3-0 to City, I wish it had been that and so could easily have been. I've watched nearly every City match over the last few years. We beat WBA 2-0, Liverpool 3-0, it wasn't mad to believe we could have won this 2 or 3 -0. The City players need to practise their set pieces and shooting more....

(1) I was worried about the line-up. Mancini had almost no impact players on the bench, assuming that those starting would score the goals and that the bench would close the game out.
(2) We had no threats today from crosses, either because the crosses were poor (and they frequently were) or we never put our heads on them (for whatever reason).
(3) Brum defended with good shape and re-organised quickly. When we had the opportunity to counter, we did so too slowly.
(4) We couldn't hit a cow's bottom with a banjo today. How many times was Foster actually tested on those 25 (?) shots? NdJ's shot was one of the best struck all afternoon.
(5) We weren't savvy enough to retain the ball in the box and invite the foul, usually preferring to pass it around the outside of the danger area.

Otherwise ok.

I am not a Mancini fan but he cannot be sacked right now. He has to be given the chance to finish the season, only then we will find out if he is the right man for the job. This season the team defending is excellant but we are stuck in the mentallity of "thou shall not lose" whatever formation we play. After Aj's great season last year why does Mancini come out and say he's Charlie Big Bollocks because now the lad has no confidence and him and Bellamy were 2 of our better players last season (yes I know AJ only played 1/2 of it)I understand why Bellamy was shipped out on loan because he is a pain in the arse but we are crying out for his ability right now. Whats more worrying is the fact that we are not going to beat anybody 6-0. It is not going to happen so please dont kid yourselves that's how you get worked up. I'm not paying money to watch the boring 0-0 we had with UTD or todays game either, I though football was in the entertaining business. So if the teams not going to entertain whats the point? Some of you may say well we have to win the League. I cant watch shit like that every week to say well we won the league we could buy the trophy instead.

Does anyone has some audience? Like when the crowd sings Blue Moon or something like that?
