Not Getting In The Opposing Players Faces

[Freestyler]

Story of todays game yet again and something we see all the time, today was an embarassment, we played well for 8 minutes, it's shocking, very poor.

We hardly put Hull under any pressure, we never got at them or pressured them on the ball, we stood off and once again paid the price big time, something city do and it's cost us so many games, and again today it's struck,

When was the last time we can say we started the match as the better team?, today was worse than Pompey, do we realise we need to start playing when were 2-0 down?, no attempts on goal in 54 minutes say's it all, tevez was just watching the game, we couldn't even get in the Hull half,

I like Mancini and he's a good manager, but today he got it horribly wrong again in both tactics and substitutions,

Vieria coming on at 2-1 just after we scored our goal, 3 holding midfielders at 2-1 down away from home? please.

SWP on for one of 2 defensive midfielders was blatently obvious, no width, far too narrow, played completely into Hull's hands, they said thanks for the easy 3 points.

Away form will cost us top 4 at this rate and that's a fact.

Vieira wasn't ready to start as you well know. Abortive moves for Mariga and Gago suggests he knows the balance is wrong in midfield.

We don't need to get in the opposing players faces so much but what we need is quality on the ball and the ability to keep the ball and today he did very little in possession and thats where we went wrong

still don't close them down, when every team does it to us. Hull looked like they had 20 players on the pitch today

I didn't watch the game today but have said this for ages...we are unable to close players down and we give other teams too much time on the ball. We have no one in midfield who can spread the play or pick a pass. Watched 2 matches this week and both teams that won were all over the pitch closing the other side down. When you cant pick a pass as we cant and you get pressured you will lose. Its all down to desire....how much do we want it?
