Avoided posting last night as it would just of been a rant, cold and wet, £70 lighter and home around midnight. I have had a nights sleep to calm down but here it goes.
First and foremost the club missed an opportunity to fill the ground with new young fans with cheaper tickets. The ground was over half empty and I understand we have a limited fan base with expensive European trips etc and people are skint, however you could see the players response to playing in an empty stadium with zero passion just like the crowd. This is not a pop at the crowd but nobody can get up for it with thousands of empty seats. Should of been pay on the night, kids for a quid, adults a fiver etc.
Now for the team.
Pantomime is a poor goalkeeper, end of. Even a ten year old keeper knows to push a shot away from danger, or tip around for a corner, not cushion it as he did V Chelsea and last night. Awful goalkeeper !
Kolo Toure, finished and only here to keep Yaya here and happy. Has lost what he had at Arsenal and cannot even take a throw in ! Every one he takes is a foul throw !!
Milner - Are we purposely trying to piss him off ? We leave him out all season and then play him in the League cup and then move his position three times during the same game !!
Lescott also knows that Mancini is not a fan of his and his body language tells me he's days are numbered.
Sinclair - Early days but he looks frightened to death out there and is not going to be a world beater.
Mario - Totally not interested last night, did not want to be there
Barry - Worst performance in a City shirt.
Tevez - Ran his balls off as usual but down lots of blind alleys.
The two young kids making their debuts it's not fair to comment, both young and did ok. In fact the only two who wanted to be there.
Just pray that Joe Hart does not get injured. His place is the safest in league football !
