3rd goal the CB,s were 2 v 2 ,the full backs are can sweep round but were too wide
no point expecting yaya to help out but fernandinho would normally be patrolling in front,but he was too far forward,maybe city should park the bus next time they go ahead

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

yes and Everton to come 2 days after Bayern. The team who always beat us.

didnt we beat them last year. ???

NO

OK THEN

Am I missing some kind of in joke on here? Are people seriously suggesting that we can't win the league after 6 games?

If we don't drastically improve our away form (and it's hard to see how that improvement will come about), then I'm prepared to stick my head above the wall and say no; we've got very little chance of winning the title. Clear enough?

Bang on Jim but the inners /outers must have their battle on here. All I wanted was the right replacement
My misgivings are beginning to have some foundation
I could clearly see what was coming EVEN AFTER going 2-1 up. We faffed about and failed abysmally to show the kind off ruthlessness necessary against overwhelmingly inferior opposition
I really don´t know what to expect from us one week to the next anymore and that is a travesty with a first AND second string most managers would die for

Same people who were saying it after Cardiff. People who are either hysterical or don't really know/watch/understand the premier league.

HA HA HA, Billy Shears (or whatever your real name is) you are a prized PLONKER. Go and give your head a WOBBLE if you think this team is achiveing a "holistic" approach.

We've gone backwards under this PLONKER of a manager.

Twice we've led away from home (Cardiff and Villa) and twice he made an attacking substitution instead of a defensive midfielder to protect the lead, the end result we've got 0 points from both games.

This guys cavalier and is clueless mark II.

Don't know yet if he is clueless mark 2 it's to early lets see if he learns and improve our defence because that's Main worry crap defence = no trophies

still not looking like an upgrade is it tbh?

 

[cleavers]

Has the league finished today?

Spurs are wishing it had :)

 

[chesterbells]

Why do some people always seeking solace in Utds results, I don't give a stuff what they do or where they are in the league, yes we are better than them.....so what, we have all known that for a while, what we want is some consistency because that's what brings trophies, I'm much more concerned that by the end of business today we could be 5 points adrift of the top place in the league..........worried yes but only a little.

They are our bitter rivals, why would people not be happy when they loose. Whats wrong with comparing results and positioning in the league ???

we should be discussing our performances/results not worrying about what Utd are doing, they are our nearest rivals but we have much better teams to worry about if we must worry about any of them, I user stand what your saying it just pisses me off that Utd get a mention ,

Spot on pal; it's not relevant & it's no consolation to me after we've lost

It sure looked like for the last 10 days, and from what I've heard on 5live did for most of todays game too.

Well it certainly did on Sunday yeah. And our European start looked pretty good too

Apparently it's finished, but only for us. I suppose we just go through the motions for the next 32 games.

Because no-one ever improves their away form and it's impossible to make up a 3 (or god forbid 5) point deficit.

 

[Ducado]

As another poster pointed out very wisely the other day

The mood swings in here are ridiculous, from ecstatic to rock bottom depression in one game

 

[oppa gangnam style]

We played better but that worth nothing. We should have put our chances away and defend well. We didnt do any of it. Yes their first goal was offside, but that happens every year sometimes we score an offside goal (I remember one especially vs Villa last season maybe) or the opponent gets a good goal not given like WHU's Nolan last season. But also sometimes it goes against us.

We reacted well after that with Dzeko's header. And being up second time that was the time to think carefully, not to give away anything, and then we concede goal from a cheap freekick and basially from a kick from their GK. Amateur...

The big worry is we didnt face any really hard teams away from home so far. Villa lost at home vs Pool and Newcastle already. Cardiff is tough but Everton got a point there, Spurs got 3 points. Stoke is tricky, we never win there, but we nearly even lost there two weeks ago vs a Hughes team and they were better.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Barcelona currently doing the job away from home... the difference? They have no weak links in their side. We do.

 

[Blue and Proud]

The best thing about today was no injuries before Bayern. There was caution in all our players. I'm sure we'll let fly on Wednesday and to be honest that is the right sense of priority.

Agree with this. UCL is the priority and minds are obviously on Weds night. Win against Bayern and we're almost through to ko stage. We can all be happy with that.

NO

OK THEN

Everton 2 days after Bayern?
Are we playing Friday nights now?

Really? Great derby result aside what has he done in terms of impressing you? Who gives a shit what possession stats were or how it sounded on the radio.

 

[zisisfootball]

At least Pellers will give them all a holistic cuddle tonight and tuck them up in bed with some warm milk - I bet he gives great hugs.

Not really. Good wins against poor opposition and today, despite a lot of possession, a loss against a team that weren't even really trying to win.

Midweek will be interesting as it'll be Pellegrini's first match in charge of us against top class opponents.
