Gonna be difficult to beat Liverpool now in 48 hours time with confidence down after that result today , but that's exactly what we've got to do .....
Liverpool will come to attack which may help us. Be like the arsenal game, open and very nervous to watch.

Yes, but Colback isn't even a defender, he's a midfielder who was filling in today. Sunderland had no proper full-backs and Johnson failed on the right and also when switched to the left briefly (although managed to get one cross in, hurrah).

They´ll play exactly how they did at Chelsea. Stop us and take their chances when they come
AJ should be ashamed as Collbeck is not a left back, but a midfielder and he should have raped him.Hollywood Blue said:The ginger left back (Collback??) had AJ in his pocket today, it happens.
Remember Jordan at the Swamp early in his City career against Ronaldo?

For all of AJ faults down the right he never switched to the left once during the game. In that second half we had more good play down the left than the right. I said it before with Dzeko playing on his own we need to have 2 top class wingers in the team this is the area were we are lacking in my view. We need to sort this area out sooner rather than later and it wouldnt shock me if after todays game Mancini will be looking for 2 wingers one on each side.

What baffles me is Mancini making hand signals to Johnson to stay out wide to receive the ball, yet when he receives it he always has to cut inside onto his left foot, this gives defenders the time to take up position in the box.
Why the fuck doesn't he switch him sometimes to the left, then at least he can get the ball in quicker to Dzeko without him checking his run?

Na not Mancinis fault AJ was just horrible. He was given a perfect chance after all his complaining what did he do?. Handed the ball to the town of his birth more than 10 times.
The problem is that he cant beat players for pace. So his lack of pace would be exposed on the left, players would just show him the outside when he's on the left and he's gonna do less damage when he creates space as he's on the outside before they catch him up and close the distance. On the right when he creates space for himself and come inside, he is closer to the middle with his left foot and has time to do something. Simply put lack of pace is whats holding himDanamy said:What baffles me is Mancini making hand signals to Johnson to stay out wide to receive the ball, yet when he receives it he always has to cut inside onto his left foot, this gives defenders the time to take up position in the box.
