Bit disappointed so far, but by no means a disaster
andyhinch said:Bit disappointed so far, but by no means a disaster
Nail on the head!
The only reason things look so shit is because the scum are 8(?) points clear. We made that ground up in 6 games last season. We've got half a season to do it now.
If our team was doing what the rags were doing we'd be in melt down over our defence. They won't be lucky all season and be able to outscore everyone. There will come a point where Shrek, Van Twat and mushy pea won't be able to score more than their shambolic defence concede and we'll be there to pray on that.
Our problem is our strikers aren't being clinical at the moment. Teams may be parking the bus but the stats show we're creating chances and having chances on goal. That's down to form. Our strikers are top class and the cream will rise to the top. It's frustrating waiting for that to happen but it will do eventually.
We're still very much in this title. It's not over until Aguero has his last kick of the season!

what happend at our club prior the takeover is totally irrellevent. we now dine at the top table and with the expectancy levels we now have we should doing much much better.

We were in a far worse situation after Arsenal away last year. So far not great but still plenty to play for! A signing or 2 would help though!

Nah, I agree with Andy and the history of our club is far from 'totally irrelevant ' to me. Top table? not for me yet....Real, Bayern, Barca etc are the top table, but we are at least in the dining room and not stuck in the servants quarters...

With the team we have we should be winning the league by about 10 points(at least). We certainly shouldn't be loosing against Sunderland

the flap was't about changing manager, its about the manager or whoever letting the window go by without improving our squad, as it happens they made it WORSE. flap was justified imo.andyhinch said:Well put, I don't want to go back to changing are manager every 5minutes, do they do that at the swamp?

Its quite simple really we did not strengthen this season,if anything the team is weaker,surely
mancini has the final say on who we buy,yes he did not get the players he wanted does`nt mean we go out buy players who are going to make the team worse.
Take rodwell,injury prone we knew it but still bought him and as for garcia surely mancini has to take the blame everytime he plays.he is complete garbage
Enough said.

Summer was shit but only one small part of the problem.
