That 1st half was very disappointing why do we have a to go a couple of goals behind and then start playing shocking.Referee was very poor today as well
We caught them up last season because we were playing well. This season we are to slow,to predictable and some players just will not make the effort to get back. Surely Mancini can see this. It amazies me he hasnt put this right by now. We are trying to play like we did last season but teams are defending better against us and breaking out and scoring against the run of play thats why were nearly always down after the first 20 minutes.the talisman said:Fuck em, they were 8 clear last season and we caught them, and we've got no euro games now so have faith Blues
Absolutely gutted though

Once Balotelli was off we were the much better side and even before that we looked the more likely apart from 2 finishes from shrek's ankle (he is one lucky bastard). The finishing of our strikers is our main problem and once that is sorted I believe we can begin to hit the kind of form we showed last season.
I just hope this was the game where Mancini finally gives up the ghost with Mario being given a starting berth. In the league he must now see that the only strikers who deserve to start while they are available are Aguero, Tevez and as a tactical reason for a particularly tall team or one that is susceptible in the air, Dzeko. Balotelli, for all his talent, has the worse temperament that I think I have ever seen in a player and we will never see the best of this footballer as long as he has got a hole in his a*se. Sub at best from now on and/or shipped back to Italy in January or the summer in my opinion.
In a nutshell, we are out of luck and with it our strikers eye for goal is poor at the moment, while those jammy bastards have both commodities in spades. I really believe we are the better team and over a season of 38 games I would like to think, like last season, that the better team will win.
Just like last season blues, KTF!
Their finishing was better than ours - drop the "jammy bastards" line. If we'd had their strikers today we'd have won 5-2 or 6-2. It's about being clinical in front of goal and, right now, our strikers haven't got that. Mancini has been banging on about this all week.
The 'Jammy Bastards' line alludes to the fact that Shrek scored with his ankle twice and Van Rapist scored with a deflection, hence 'Jammy Bastards'. I think you will find that I also said our strikers eye for goal is lacking.
Read what I am trying to say and you might not need to comment on it.
