No excuse

Sunderland aee good at home. Only United beat them at their place last season.

No they didn't! Check the facts before posting.

Maybe now those of us who have questioned Mancini's appointment can voice our concerns without abuse on here. I've said it before and I'll say it again, he's incompetent, tactically inept and was interested in the sunderland job before we were foolish enough to give him one. No man interested in managing sunderland is good enough to get us to where we want to be.

I posted on another thread that I thought Mancini struggles tactically with teams like sunderland (and I stand by those comments) ...however I totally disagree with your opinion....he is normally very astute in how he prepares the team technically and tactically.

Well, you HAVE TO BE A RAG!!

No Blue would come on here and spout sh*te about a game that we should have bagged in the first half. Tévez's lazy sweep of the foot and the two excellent saves by the keep from Touré and Manu should have seen us comfortably home.

Don't talk crap, Rag.

come on lads, we dominated that game and would have won if weren't unlucky

it takes time for the signings to gel and Mancini is getting it right

Thought we were shocking in the second half, defended way too deep and
invited them on to us. Subs were far too late and there's no way on earth
that Tev can play as a lone striker. No point punting long balls forward to
a dwarf. Very poor.

Now that is just not correct, now is it?

I like Mancini too but he's too cautious in my opinion.

Was happy with the first half, the second was a bit poor at times.

Johnson kept whacking the ball long whilst in defence which was annoying, and one of the reasons why SWP still has a job. Can't really think of anybody who didn't play well, perhaps Milner if I'm been overly critical but he still did ok. Football was nice to watch, we were pressing them everywhere, and we were unlucky in front of both goals.

Bad day at the office I'm afraid, which happens in football. Shame really, I wanted us to punish Spurs for that defeat.

Why were you happy with the first half? 62% possession, and an open goal miss. Yet go in at 0-0. To say you are happy with that, demonstrates you arent yet prepared to support a top level side. Ridiculous. Chelsea would not have gone in 0-0 after being so dominant. Far too power puff in our build up. Not brutal or clinical enough. Tevez didnt look angry at himself. Looked sorry for himself.

They were always going to re-group after a bollocking at half time. And we might aswell have stayed in the changing room. Lost all our composure, control, using our football brains, winning possession, and started being the old city, knock it long, back four looking clumsy.

I am not happy with the first half. You get nothing in football for looking back sentimentally saying we played well in the first half yet got nothing for it. We will have harder away games. Fulham, Birmingham, Villa, Everton, Newcastle, Wigan, they are always harder places to go. Disgusting that we lost that game of football

A good post. Agree with all that.

That winning mentality is not yet there with city, we crumble when we should be resolute..

I don't want to support a 'top level side'. I want to support City, wherever they may be.

Are you trying to tell me that Champions League winning, Argentinian regular Carlos Tevez has the wrong mentality?

How about you compare his medals to Paul Dickov's?

Also, remember quite a few games that Chelsea dominated last season and still lost. One of which, was us.

It's so easy to weed out the rag glory hunter newbies when we lose.
