bored at work said:Didsbury Dave said:Some very poor performances today, but a great 3 points.
Nasri and kolorov were awful, particularly first half. Their wide men couldn't believe their luck on that side. They just kept running past them.
The amount of times the front two miss controlled it was unreal. Negredo worst game by far. Better play by them and we could have had half a dozen.
The midfield, like at Sunderland, missed silva dreadfully, wouldn't take responsibility and kept taking the safe option. We were better when yaya went into the hole.
But even given all that, we deserved to win and I'm delighted we did. Those players (kolorov aside) won't play as poorly as that very often.
Navas and kompany played well, but Without Kun and silva, all that matters is the points. We are currently picking up wins with absences and without being at our best. We will get better.
Nasri awful??? City's best player first half
I disagree. He seemed to lack the sharpness that we're accustomed to seeing from him this season, and his defensive contribution was really poor leaving Kolarov isolated a lot of the times. He needs a rest i think.
