In the last ten minutes of the game today the players were taking up lots of time taking throw in's, dead balls, the keeper took longest.Immaculate Pasta said:Without disrespect that's aload of bollocks.
Spurs and us want Champions League the same, no more, no less.
Don't mix up form with wanting it.
I expect that if we're winning 0-1 and it had been a scrappy game with not much football been played and we needed the win, not at 0-0 when a win was almost essential.

Look at performances against Chelsea and Arsenal. Attack was their best form of defence and it worked for them. We have better players, a higher profile manager. Good backing staff, the players don't want it as much as them.
It's disgusting. All the money they are paid and they don't want to get better, aren't bothered about taking the football club, who pay their massively inflated wages, to the next level. Away from mediocrity.
Shameful. (And yes, if you've read some of my other posts tonight, I'm not in a happy mood).

IP, us fans I agree. But the player are not showing the same commitment. Look at Ade, comes on and makes a good impression in the first 15-20 mins then goes cold, why? because it the only game he wants to prove hes a good player, in front of his previous team. If he showed that sort of commitment through out the season then you have a valid point, but Ade is just one player that is not arsed.

Using Adebayor is a bit of a poor example to be fair because whether he is chasing a Premier League and Champions League double or fighting relegation from the conference, he will always give you hot and cold performances but his goalscoring record speaks for himself.
The players all want it, they wouldn't have moved to us if they didn't want it, they moved to us because we were going to compete and get in the champions league.

I'm venting my frustration on an internet forum full of City fans. My opinion is my opinion.
Also, don't act as if bluemoon has such a bad reputation because of our fans stimulating debate. That's what a forum is for mate.
