correct but you only do that by having confidence in your ability, trust in your team mates and able to enjoy the game. You can only do that if us the fans stay behind the team at all times and dont panic with the odd bad result. We are on the run in to what could be the most glorious day in most of our life times. Relax get prospective and enjoy our wonderful team.
Exactly. Try and enjoy it. I don't remember reading about people killing themselves when we were shit so why are we acting like it's the end of the world when we lose a match now? If you can't enjoy it now, then football is the wrong sport for you.

To start panicking and fretting too much after results like West Brom, Bayern, Napoli can be construed as kneejerk: every team had bad luck or doesn't play well from time to time.
Tuesday's result was a bit different to this. It was a poor performance in a run of patchy performances. It was a clear demonstration that workmanlike teams can squeeze us out. And the body language around the club frightened a lot of people. WE didn't look like Champions, we looked like a team who could choke.
Having said that, the ball didn't run for us first half, and there were more poor decisions, and it was a lucky equaliser. We are certainly not in a bloody crisis, but alarm bells are ringing for some people.
A run of form is badly, badly needed.

If you enjoyed Tuesday then you are some kind of football masochist because it was frustrating as hell. If the team you watch every week underperforms then it's hard to watch as a fan whether your team are in the Conference, the Premier League or The Champions League.

Don't get me wrong, tonight wasn't good but too many people expect us to win every game and throw their toys out when we don't.
Everton away was never going to be easy, but we need to improve fast. We're still top going into February with a reasonable run of fixtures ahead though.
Time for calm heads.
No ,you was right,they are idiots.Ric said:strongbowholic said:Most have acknowledged it was a poor performance from City tonight. However it's not unreasonable for people to question why we had to endure yet another poor refereeing performance.
What is unreasonable is to call people 'reactionary idiots'. The raison d'etre of places like this is to provide a space for people to react to things that happen surely?
Sorry, I should quantify that. I meant those who have called for Mancini to be fired, or Dzeko/Barry/Johnson (add who you like) to be sold of the basis on tonight's result. Obviously I didn't mean anyone who was consructively critical of the performance this evening.
