pellegrini looks like he has just turned up from the set of the tv show the walking dead.

Wake up FFS! A chance to go 2 points behind the leaders and they serve up that dross. Every single player going through the motions. Not good enough. To be CHAMPIONS you have to play like CHAMPIONS!!! We're playing like chumps at the minute. Where's the urgency, desire?? Come on CITY.!!!!

We are not playing bad, but are very predictable in our builds up, hence why Burnley's lock has not been cracked yet.
Need to be more creative, and put the right pace on the final pass, not these misplaced end-ball anymore.

I would swap Dzeko for sammy

Baffles me why some of you fuckers bother watching,

Not looking great for the Barca game unless this is part of a strategy to save energy and scrape a late win. So far doesn't look like that though.

Hopefully Nasri or whoever comes on in 2nd half brings some urgency.

Worried about our place in top four now, with Arsenal and Liverpool hitting form. Looks like half of our players do not give a damn. Fernandinho was the only one who has put in some effort in the first half. The rest utter shite.

A bit dire, but we still should have been already up by at least a goal. It's not the end of the world...Just had a look on Twitter responses and judging by it you would think we already lost this game. If we win it somehow, it won't be the first one after a bit dull half when we bossed possession. Just speed up the a tempo a little, and we win.

A Stoke away 2nd half will do. We seem to perform max 45min anyway so if this was the bad part ... Come on City.

Nobody is playing badly,

Would love to know why you think Dzeko hasn't been a useless waste of space.

I thought he pressed well, good movement trying to drag defenders out wide when Aguero or others are making runs, almost got on the end of a couple. He's doing pretty well for my money. Not great, but well.

Spot on.

Not great, but not bad either. Noone actually played awful, and that makes this first half quite a strange one.
