bloody hell guys time to take the blue tinted specs off for a moment.
we have been poor away from home for a good few months now. at Wigan we didnt play brilliantly, and only really created the chance when Dzeko and Aguero got in each others way. today, we had plenty of the ball, played some nice passes but we never really carved them open or created any real meaningful chances. Both games were won from set pieces.
These wins, are vital, winning away from home when your not at your absolute best is essential. But we were shite at sunderland, west brom & everton. and the performances at villa & wigan were not great, had it not been for our keeper we wouldnt have left either game with 3 points.
the win today was made alot easier by the fact villa were poor. they looked like they lacked passion, bottle and belief. not every game will be made this easy. the fact is, you wouldnt see the shite dominate a game like we did today with possession n not create good chances. since the 6-1, our league performances away from home have not been good. when we come up against Arsenal, Swansea & Stoke, who will all have a go at us in one way or another, we are going to have to improve significantly from the way weve played away from home in the league in the last 3 -4 months.
