LOL ! Dread to think what score it would have been if Richard had played !!I posted a photo of our team on the 50th anniversary of the Munich disaster on FB this morning with Richard Dunne leading them out and I have just looked at it and thought by heck Dunnie wouldn't have stopped fighting if he had been playing for us today. It's time this team manned up and realised that the fans deserve more. IMHO

He was quite fiesty for a change,the whole team attacked bad and defended bad he saysI'd rather fucking not as if you have seen and heard one you have seen and heard them all!!
Just awful. From the manager to out on the pitch, nobody showed anything other than the same shitness they've shown too many times this season. Honestly would not surprise me to see six or seven new faces in the starting XI next season. The legs just seem to be getting heavier with each passing week for the likes of Zaba, Kola, Demichelis, Silva and Toure - whilst Otamendi for all the bright moments he's shown simply is too rash and too brain dead to be a proper PL centre half.
With the way the injuries have piled up not going into the market in January is looking a big mistake and it's going to be a long slog to May.
Maybe, but at least he would have been trying, he never gave up. :-) I'd trust Dunnie over the defence we had today.
This is what I would write if I was a wordsmith like your good self,Clearly has his favourites does Manuel. Yaya is at the stage of his career now where he needs to be used as an impact player against tired legs, not as a starter in front of that defence. Delph isn't a top shelf player but he was no worse than anyone else on the pitch today, wrong decision to bring him off imo.
Sterling is having his ability to go past a player coached out of him (just like Navas) and this is the reason he usually comes inside, but not until the opposition has managed to get their whole team behind the ball.
We play with no intensity, we don't close down, we don't get back at pace, we don't go forward at pace. It is boring, ineffective shite that Stuart fucking Pearce would have been ashamed of.
For their 2nd goal today, Zab made a tackle on the edge of their box and went to ground. Both Yaya and Silva were in the same area. Neither tracked back in Zabs place. The Leicester player strolled forward fully 40/50 yards and we backed off him completely. It was pathetic.
I'm convinced Manuel NEVER researches our opponents strengths and weaknesses. He isn't arsed one jot. The fucking ball rolled into the technical area when we were chasing the game and he didn't move a fucking muscle. He stood still and watched it roll past him. What message does that convey to the players?
I have no issue with losing a game, or even 10 games if stuff just isn't going right for us as long as we're having a go, trying different things, putting a shift in. The shit we watched today was pathetic and inexcusable. We're far from out of the race, but fucking hell, we're making it very difficult for ourselves.
Fair play to Leicester. They had a plan and it worked. They worked hard at their jobs and their manager clearly gives a fuck.
Agreed but we will do enough for top four, We won't at least mess that up.
Agree 100%. I always like to stay positive about City, but today I can't pretend that it wasn't shameful. Plus the way we've been playing the last months we ain't looking anything like a title winning team. Not even close. If rags, Chavs, Arse had all been playing like they should be doing, we'd have given up on title talk months ago.
Spuds are winning 1-0 so we're down to 3rd and playing them next week, and we'll almost certainly be down to 4th tomorrow afternoon. So, Spuds next weekend and then after the cup game and CL, the next league game is Dippers away which we also never win. Not looking rosy short term. We could be up against the rags fighting for 4th and 5th spot in early-mid March.
I'd take Drinkwater, Kante, Simpson and Albrighton aswell. Price tags mean nothing when they come to City, just look at Sterling.
