it's true, the keeper and defenders had very little to do so nothing to comment on there. But the attacking midfielders and strikers didn't play at all well or we'd have scored against a mediocre bottom of the table team at home, sorry it's just true.
Playing well doesn't mean you automatically win.
Yesterday proved that: Birmingham were organised at the back, bar Milner's chance at the start of the second half, but that was probably because they'd not woken up from half time. We had chances a plenty, but Foster pulled off some good saves yesterday - most notably from De Jong.
People think we played awfully because we didn't win 10-0. If any of those chances had gone in then you would be saying these words, or something along these lines: "despite not playing our absolute best, we still managed to get three points; let's build up again for the next game when we have more cover in defence for Kompany and Touré because Boyata is back after his ban. "Mancini's decision to take off Tevez was puzzling, but he was just suring up the defence with Barry being there".
