This game reminded me of the the start of the Tevez era. One player worldclass and the rest mediocre premier league players.

You have to remember that this was our 3rd game in 6 days. Some players like Clichy really shouldn't have played but had to because Kolarov was out.
We had no fresh players to use today except maybe Nasri and he's just coming back from injury. Sagna is not good enough.
We survived and can re-group. Wasn't a good performance, but did you expect that after the week we've had? No chance
We can come back in the title-race. It's going for Chelsea at the moment, but there's a long way to go.
Agree. Add the conditions to the mix and new system too.

Zab and Milner on the bench was a master stroke for 'arry.Benarbia said:Don't think the players aguero aside have any fight in them
Add all of that to two players struggling to find their feet in the PL, we are lucky we drew the game.
Virtually no leadership in that team, apart from the striker, who thankfully kept us in the game.

Er, why? we were 8 points behind with 6 games to go …… we are 7 points behind with 27 games to go!!!!! Aguero is inspirational, what a pity his fans have so little faith
Maybe it's because deep down we all know we have too many weak links in the side and the winning mentality has gone.
We hsve to find some first!waspish said:Good point in the end! we will come good in the newyear when the enthusiasm goes out of some of the teams, 1st 20 games of a season like last season the energy from other teams against us is none stop plus shots on goal percentages from opposing teams usually ends in the ball in the back of our net!!

Positive attitude but I think you're dreaming Marvin. I can't see us clawing back an 8 point gap, let alone when we are playing utter utter garbage and them playing really solid. The gap's going to get bigger not smaller.
Honestly, in terms of silverware aspirations I think our season is finished. Doubtless some will say that makes me a shit fan, but I don't think it does. I will continue to support us through thick and thin, but I can't see us winning anything this season.
We won't but as Tolmie and others have said this squad has most likely gone as far as it can go.
It will only get worse as the season progresses.
There is probably only 4 /5 players we have that are up to standard now the rest need to be shipped out over the next three transfer windows at best but no more than 4 windows.
You can already tell Mangala and Fernando are not suited to the premiership.
Too harsh and too premature many would say.
Neither will be with us in two years time mark my words.
