If it was the last game of the season and they needed a point to win, it could be described as tactically astute. if it was the 2nd leg of a champions league match after winning the 1st leg 1-0, job done, they'd of done enough, well done(probably what we should of done v Monaco last season) but the 8th game of a season with Liverpool there for the taking in their worst form of probably the whole season it was anything but a tactical masterclass. any team with ambitions to win a league should be going into every game expecting and playing to win. I'd be fuming and embarrassed to call myself a city fan if we went about a game like that, even when we were shit, never mind now that we're challengers.
