A bit of sanity on here at last!
I had the misfortune to sit in the main stand yesterday surrounded by half blind toffees, trying to make sense of what was going on out there - How much did they love those 3 points by the way? Where i was sat you would think they had won the Champs League!
Firstly their delight in rolling us over was just another indication for me of how far we have progressed this season. By the chat going on around their pikey bar in the main stand before kick off they were hoping for a draw at best.
No doubt we were well beaten yesterday. Yes losing RSC early doors was a blow, form then on we struggled to impose ouselves up the pitch physically with Kompany at the back, but i think Mancini was second best to Moyes yesterday tactically. We allowed Everton to dominate midfield to the point where people are now talking about Fellaini as some kind of superstar! Lets get real. I am gutted by yesterdays result but still excited by what lies ahead - Onwards & upwards! From what Mancini has shown so far i'm sure he will have learnt a lot yeaterday, and he doesn't seem like a bloke who makes the same mistakes twice.
We were overrun in the middle, Everton played very well, we were hurt by abscences, we committed some individual errors, a new manager still getting to know his squad made some bad choices....... Add all this up and it equals a bad day out.
My faith is total in Mancini and the squad putting this right for Tuesday. I only hope some of the Rags out there buy into some of the crap in the papers and on Talkshite/606, because one defeat does not mean the wheels have come off. Come on Blues!
