Hard fought 3 points. Yaya is done at this level.

Pep will most probably work on that, more than Manuel. All this if x player doesn't do this and that, they'll be out...
Don't you think he will work on things with the players first, before making knee jerk decisions.

I do.

Of course I'd do, I never said I didn't.

He'll work on it with Joe and if he can't adapt he'll be out, simple as that.

3 points is 3 points.... but did someone catch Yaya sniffing glue in the parking lot?!

Awful. Decision to take off Nacho basically meant that we were likely to spend the next 45 minutes defending. Totally handed them the initiative with that substitution. Back four were good and Hart made two great stops. Nacho was bright and was easily one of the better attacking performers. Entire midfield was shocking. Unfair to single out Yaya, but also very easy to do so because he is the one who does the very visual things, such as try a forward/incisive pass or a forward run with the ball. He's quite clearly judged differently to everyone else on here and i'm unsure why because he was no more expensive than anyone else. Fernandinho was again anonymous when we had the ball. Fernando didn't help us solve any of the problems Sunderland caused us. Silva had some good touches but constantly ran out of steam with the ball. He was also wasteful and awful out of possession. Navas did nothing other than track back and pull his hamstring.

Overall, very poor but a good 3 points considering Arsenal dropped two.

Yep, that sub actually made things worse in the 2nd half, especially given our inability to keep possession, just about the worst passing display I've seen from City for a couple of years.

Big Fat Sam as gracious as ever the ****.

Cant you tell he is a mate of the pisscan?

Thought it was a good decision. We were getting overrun in midfield all over the place, 1st half.
It's not Manuel's fault that most of the side couldn't trap a bag of cement or pass water, tonight.

Thought his unforced subs were the right ones at the right time.

Solid defending, Vinny back soon, another clean sheet, an away win at Sunderland, scrappy, tetchy, not pretty, they tried to get under our skin, but we held solid. 3points

Take it you wanted us to lose then FFS

Er no, I wanted us to win. They were really really poor and so were we. With the quality in our squad I expect much better and Pellegrini must demand and deliver much better. Massive under-performance. Square pegs, round holes again.
