It was a total mix-up between the two, Hart should have shouted far sooner than he did, Nastasic only had eyes for the ball and it must have been obvious to anybody on the pitch, in the stands or watching on telly that Nastasic was going to head it back, but not Joe Hart !!
The way Mourinho celebrated behind our bench shows he is more scared of us than any other team in the league, this is a plus point for us.
Our defence has been a shambles most of the season, and in the first half it was also pretty poor , the centre-backs aren't getting any games together on a run, and it is understandable that the keeper and the centre-backs have little communication between them, and that is causing problems at the back. This isn't a new thing though and has been happening for a while now, Mancini tried to sort it out but the players couldn't understand what they did wrong.
Now the problems are clear for all to see, and although DeMichelis was thrown in at the deep end in the first half he clearly struggled but he was much more composed in the second half.
Hopefully the manager can now clearly see the problems we have, and although we didn't make any clear cut chances in the second half, all is not lost this season despite the loss today. We can beat Chelsea at home and they will come for a point and try to score a goal on the break against us. We just have to pull our socks up and win the next three games, Newcastle away in the cup should be a formality, then comes Norwich in the league which is perfectly winnable too
If we beat CSKA then were through the group stage and can then concentrate on the league until after Christmas, with only one League cup game to worry about in this period until the FA Cup starts.
Today was a downer, we had a point and threw it away, Nastasic did what any defender would have done in the same situation, his keeper made the wrong decision and it cost us the game. Both players will move on and improve, but at the moment the centre-backs will have very little confidence in the keeper, maybe he should be taken out of the limelight for a few games to let him sort out his head. I agree that Kompany and DeMichelis will probably be our best pairing for now, but Nastasic is still learning and this mix-up shouldn't breed doubts in his mind and set his development back.
By the way I shouldn't come on here after a few pints ;-)
