Zero positive contributions from Nasri and Kompany in particular today, and not much better from Yaya in the 2nd half or Zab in the 1st half. Overall a quite abysmal 2nd half showing with no shape and no energy.

Too many players not doing any defending, leaving acres of space for oppositions midfield, putting too much pressure on the defence. 2 strikers, plus Yaya and Nasri is just suicidal against anyone who can pass the ball a bit. A lot of this team need to go and be replaced with equally talented players with better workrates.
Pellegrini also took to long to change things, then didn't do enough when he did. Fundamentally though, we lack the players to play these high intensity games. Yaya leaves the midfield wide open, but we don't have anyone else who can offer even a little bit of quality in CM. We lack a hard working alternative to Nasri with any quality as well (although I have no idea why Navas wasn't on the bench)
Fucking awful
Nasri normally tracks back and presses the ball well. With that said, he didn't do so today. A few times let players run right passed him. Toure also. I thought they were the team that was supposed to be tired second half!!!! Second half was really frustrating.
Mister Appointment said:Fucking piss poor. Way too many passive performances. Manager needs to take a long look at himself too. Piss poor decisions in terms of team selection and substitutions.
Vinny and Zabba piss poor again. Nasri piss poor. Don't see the the point in dropping 30 million in January on Bony then leaving him on the bench in such a huge week.
Serious renovations needed in the summer because age isn't on the side of too many of our first team squad.
