Cracks appearing?

[mike channon´s windmill]

The last 2 games have shown defensive lapses and set pieces are becoming an achiles heel. Or is the pressure beginning to show? We will need balls of steel to keep it up - do we have the bollox to see it through?

Fookin hell what do you want - shit happens but we won - we conceded a poor poor penalty - yes players need to have a look at themselves but we are fookin top - the target this year is top 4 anything more is a bonus - we need a Vidic to partner Kompany but where the fook we find one of them fook knows

can't we just enjoy being top of the league ? just for a little bit..

It wasn´t a critique - just questioning with the lack of winning experience in the PL , can we afford to let our guard slip defensively? Chuffed we won and are top but I´ve just lost another couple of days on me life expectancy!

I wouldn't say so, we started slowly and looked complacent to me,Wolves scored early, really ramped the pressure up on us, we come back to go 4-1 up, the pressure is relieved and we relaxed, conceded 2 goals, pressure ramps up and we hold out.

We had te best defence in the league going into todays game - Conceded 3 - 1 scrappy, 1 pen & 1 debatable, which we haven't done for a while and what happens... PANIC!!! Defence shit, buy new players, get rid of blah blah.

Alternatively let Mancini give the players a bollocking and get back to the defence of previous games FFS, which I'm sure he will do without anyone needing to tell him.

Too many on here go OTT after 1 game, which we won by the way. It happens, surely we've seen it before... I certainly have.

Maybe we can now be the Great Entertainers, unless spuds win 4-3 tomorrow?!

same here when that 5 minutes went up i was fookin screamin but lets look at it another way - we went 1 - 9 down and came back and won the game - we dont do that very often so its a positive

Complacency more than anything. We had a similar spell earlier in the season, where we were conceding silly goals. Mancini sorted it out though.
