Sure

Instead of pass and move we practice stand, wait and pass the ball sideways.

This is really terrible stuff from Pool.

COTR #6 wrote:What in the name of god does Rafa see in Lucas

He has literally nothing going for him

i think the same about wenger and denilson

except for agger, he has some kind of wait for the attacker and then fuck it up kind of look about him

For Fucks Sake, how many mistakes is that now ?

City are just as cowardly under Mancini as they were under Hughes. Playing like the away team.

Nah

He has the 'where the fuck is Xabi Alonso' look about him everytime he attempts to start an attack but has to turn back due to the pitiful movement ahead of him.

Lucas bugs the hell out of me. He just jogs about the pitch without a care in the world doing Sweet F.A.

Skrtel is useless. Free header there.

big chance for skrtel

Let's hope Manc-Pool stays a draw, it'll be v.tight for 4th:


4 Man City 26 15 46
5 Aston Villa 26 17 45
6 Liverpool 27 16 45
7 Tottenham 26 19 43

with Spurs to play later..

Never a corner anyway. Hate that when the ref knows it's not a corner but don't change his mind anyway.

Jesus, Liverpool are determined to gift city a soft goal yet city are determined to make sure they fuck it up every time.
Quality this is not.
Someone score ffs.

How has Barry not been booked yet? Fucking ref is awful.

Given kicked the ball away as well and nothing.

Gerrard slides, gets the ball with the leading foot but gets a yellow? Explain please Luis....

is anyone counting how many time lucas gives the ball away?
he must be a utd fan or something.

Big half coming up for Rafa.

City are there for the taking and his subs should decide the outcome of the match.

Thankfully he doesn't have many defensive options on the bench.

We all know he won't change anything until it's too late.

Jack Cork is playing really well for Burnley. Just set up Paterson for the second goal. They're still losing 5-2, but he's a great talent.

And he's on loan from us. Oooooh yeeeaah.

If he puts Torres on under 60mins i'll eat my hat.

Expect Rafa to put attacking options on at around 80-90mins...

Yeah looks promising Cork. Certainly one of their better players today. Can't believe conceded two against the side who never score away

I reckon Torres brought on 88 minute after City score a soft goal very early 2nd half.

Nah Babel is on the pitch. Rafa won't like that despite him looking dangerous the few times we have got him into space.

Not liking Maxi but too early to judge as we don't play football so how is he supposed to look good.

Gerrard dropping back into midfield for Lucas and Aquilani or Riera on is the key to this half. ASAP

Mascherano having a great game but his yellow is a big worry. He doesn't know how to pull out of challenges.

Don't know if Torres will be any use but even a half fit torres is more of a goal threat than anything else we have.

Should get Riera on too. At least he can actually retain possession and make something happen.

We've had 6 corners and 1 shot on target. city with 0 shots on target......

These games get better and better

We done what we had to do. Not quite sure how it ended 5-2 but hopefully that will serve as reminder how to score goals for some..Next 4 games are Sunderland, Stoke, Wigan, Wolves. This is the chance to get a run going..

Come on the draw and Wigan

They are all difficult games given the situation. Villa have too many games im glad they're still going for it but i really fail to see how it will be possible with such a lack of rotation to get a big run.

Why is Wigan's stadium named after that advark character thing from Arthur on BBC2?

Yeah that is the question. Also partly depends on how the cup final goes & how respond to whichever result it is. Danger of thinking 'season done' if we win it, while loss might be a downer on confidence..

Hope we rest some midweek. Should be able to beat Palace at home with likes of Sidwell, Fonz, Delph.

I hope he was offside ffs
