Were we really that bad?

Because to me we didn´t seem piss poor to me. All the people here are just overreacting again as usual. If we had won the game with a last minute goal then there would be a million posts about how we are going to win the league next season and people talking about what players we would get with a champions league spot and that Mancini is a messiah who is going to win the champions league for us etc etc...
 
I thought both sides were comfortable at the back and toothless up front. 0-0 would've been a fair result.
 
We gave them far too much respect in the 1st half (WHY?????????????). But overall I did not think we deserved to lose. Only seen it once but why was that challenge on Gaz Baz not a penalty?.

I know Sky comentators (wankers) talk a lot of shit about moving away from the goal but, as far as I am aware ( and I could be wrong ) if it's a foul in the area that would have normally led to a direct free kick it is a penalty. If the player is moving away from the goal it stops the perpetrator getting sent off that is all.

Should have been a pen. Stopped his natural motion. Gray is not as bad as people say, but he was talking out of his arse on this occasion, just like the challenge on Ade for the pen last week.

Still think we will do it tho. Spurs 0-3 chelsea.
 
Momentary lapse of concentration by Ireland cost us the point. Only by closing out games in such situations do players develop the level of professionalism we now need.
 
Proper top 4 game tbh. Overhyped, scrappy, heading for a draw, then decided by one player cashing in on a mistake. Sadly we were beaten by a ginger.
 
We should cast our minds back to a time, not long ago, when the pigs would dominate games against us and win 2 or 3 nil comfortably. Today was an open but not a great game, neither side played to their full potential and it could have easily have been us that won 1-0. Shit happens, especially against the pigs, but there is little if anything between the teams and I thought that we did OK.
 
Allowed them too space much in the middle, our front 4 seemed isolated from each other and played as individuals, because Tevez who normally links them was shut down.

They dominated the midfield (until Johnson came off for Vieira) by sacrificing presence up front, created little but took one chance.

Neither team deserved to win.
 
No it was not our best but not our worst I was a choked as every one at the last few second to go goal. But that’s why they are where they are and we are where we are.
If today’s game was a school report it would say .Can do better should do better needs a bit of self-belief and to concentrate for 99 minutes
