You lot should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves. i can't believe how few people on BlueMoon actually have sense. Literally pathetic around here. 1 game, and we played like shit, yes. We've been relying on Tevez ALL the time. Sure enough he's not there and the team turns into a steaming pile of shit. It's a good lesson for the team. Now they know they can't rely on Tevez to do everything.
I come on BlueMoon because it's my only way of interacting with other City fans. I almost hate coming on here after a game because you people go fucking berserk after a loss. I'll still post my thoughts though. Just for the hell of it.
The team reminds me of my Ottawa Senators. They come out flying, realize they have what it takes to man handle the other team, and immediately go comatose thinking they already have it wrapped up. Not the case whatsoever, they have to learn to keep the tempo up for the entire game. Plain and simple.
I don't understand why Mancini brought Zabaleta on, I could have sworn Jo would come on for Adebayor. Oh well, I'm looking forward to hearing his reason for that one.
As for leaving the frustrated and useless Balotelli on. I understand what he was doing. I am 99% sure I know why he left him on. It's his first full game in the Premier League. He was getting beat all over the place. He's not used to it. My guess is that Mancini left him on for the full 90 minutes so he would know what it takes, and know just how much effort he has to put in to get shit done in a game. I thought Balotelli was gonna lose his shit. Now he has some time to ponder it over, and I'm sure once the cloud of frustration clears he's gonna say to himself, "holy fuck, this league is intense."
I fully believe that WBA are shitting themselves right now. They know that City is gonna come out with something to prove. I expect that we will see a much hungrier side when we play WBA. If they put forth another performance like today I will begin to wonder. But time will only tell with that.
All in all, terrible performance today aside from the first 5-10 minutes. And good job to Wolverhampton, they played very well today and fully deserved there victory.
