Again we lacked that clinical finish when required.
Couldn't fault the work rate and ability to keep the ball albeit in non threatening areas but not enough players getting into the scoring positions largely due to slow build up play ala West Ham.

they can prove that point vs. Arsenal and than roll over against us hopefully!Mr Ed (The Stables) said:mancity1 said:Unfortunately two points dropped which we couldn't really afford to at this juncture.

Totally agree the build up play was so slow. In the scheme of things an away point against any team in the Premier League is great...the problem is at this stage of this current season a point isn't good enough...in fact Mancini is replicating Mark Hughes with the amount of draws. So back to seven behind, ah well onwards and upwards but we really need to step up a gear as a team, Liverpool next and they will have a point to prove after losing at Oldham.

Cons:
Barry & Milner - just woeful
Clichy - Please refrain from crossing the ball ever again
Silva - Bit below his usual self, too many poor touches & misjudged passes, not incisive enough
Tevez - has lost his mojo and I believe it will be difficult for him to ever regain it
Nasri - had his usual game where he goes missing for the majority
Pros:
Garcia & Lescott - Extremely solid, especially Garcia, didn't have very much to do though
Sinclair - looked dangerous with his few touches, should've started this game against a team not looking to win
Aguero - class touches, movement & runs as usual, was again wasteful though, coming back nicely imo
Thought Barry and Silva were very good tonight.
