yep agreed he is an average player at the moment, he has potential though, worth keeping, but not a game changer as much as we thought he would be

Have always thought he's just another Aaron Lennon only Lennon looks in good form at the moment.
 
As good as 7 points clear of 5th spot with gd so stop the missing out on 4th crap FFS

We keep trying to come up with some sort of reason why the team will finally gel. I hate to say it but it really seems that almost everybody involved seems resigned to going through the motions for the rest of the season. The fact is that there is not a team in the PL who can match the talent on City's roster but (outside of the first five matches) City continuously to play far below their capabilities.

All I am saying is it is not over yet. It's a fact not an opinion. Plenty of games to go and points to play for.
 
The team look so lethargic until 65-70 minutes its depressing to watch. Can't believe people slating Sterling when Silva, Toure and even Aguero all played relatively poorly. Our midfield is frighteningly open and spuds exposed that. Iheanacho is the one shining light from this game (and Vinny being back), am looking forward to next season when Pep can work with him. Clattenburg... Just fck off.

Roll on the next game, lets hope that playing the same team and tactics works this time... Not holding my breath.
 
Robbed by a blind ref. Played well IMO today.......much more like the old MCFC, just need some injured players back now - Navas has been a miss.
 
Problem with mentioning us taking away Rags' 8 point lead in 6 games is the one people always forget - it was only Rags back then, you can expect one team to fuck it up. But when you have 3 teams above you that's bit harder. Specially when they're all in better form, even Arsenal who weren't firing all guns recently.

It's going to be very hard, we had two games to start our way to the title in last 7 days and we lost both of them. I doubt we could come back from this now. We have to secure top 4 and hopefully top 3 and go past Kiev in Champions League. Neither of those look easy at this point though Rags are as shit as us so that could help for the first one hopefully.
 
I am not going to bother saying anything about today's officiating as I cannot saying anything that hasn't already been said. It has happened against Spurs more than any other team. Anyone remember the Chimbonda handball when he was on the goal line at WHL? Athouba elbowing Barton? Penalty for challenge on Frazier Campbell? The offisdes from earlier this season?

We looked a lot more solid defensively today. With Jesus coming back, thus increasing our attacking options and adding pace, I am confident we will finish strongly. Although I cannot see us winning the league, I feel more confident about us nailing a top 4 spot than I have done in the last week.

Honestly, Sterling isn't as good as we all wished he'd be and he won't either, we all looked at him as being world class one day, never and people can copy this and shove it down my throat if I'm wrong. However he can become a solid player like Navas or Pedro.
 
No way was it a penalty but it took for us to go 1-0 down before we started to play and we have no excuse for that......I just hope the horrible decision from the ref doesnt cover up for the fact we just didnt do enough again today and didnt make enough chances in front of goal....I want to blame the loss on the ref but truth is, we were just not good enough again and again couldnt beat a top 5 team.....lucky for us the rags go beat yesterday or I'd be getting worried about our top 4 place....

I'm with you on the tempo of our game as its often far too slow but that's been with this squad under both Bob and now Pellegrini's and is very much the players at fault imo.

We have had years of sides sitting off and allowing us time and possession and have got away with it but they are no longer doing that and we can't adapt and even with Pep here now, we wouldn't do it as this side has run its race.

Ref aside, we came up against athletes and pace and hunger again today and we where found wanting for large parts.

Haven't agreed much over the years have we, but you are quite right here.

A combination of a less than top quality manager, far too many injuries, key players past their sell by, and a lot of money wasted on average players have led us to this. Pep has some sorting out to do.

I will do exactly that.

In fact, Sterling will be the best player in the league in a few years.
 
Laughable that some people are calling out Sterling. Aguero was the worst city player on the pitch today. His touch was awful, decision making worse. Several occasions where sterling had acres of space in front of him, yet aguero never passes to him. All season it's been that way. But let's hang the manager and young sterling. Seems the route most are going these days. Sterling played as well as he could have with the support he was getting. Not to say he played great, but he is being deployed to support the spine of the team. It's quite obvious he doesn't have a license to do what he wants...

We sat back and absorbed pressure on the first half, which is what half the forum was asking for all week, yet we curse the team for being boring and slow. Looked like a page out of Mancini's book all half. If he was in the dugout, people would be focusing on the sad sad reality that the worst penalty I've ever seen has gone against us and it changed the complexion of the game.

100% better performance than last week. Hats to Arsenal for keeping us 6 pts in it.
