Thu, 20 Jan 2011 13:36:01 +0000 http://viewfromablue.wordpress.com/?p=1569#comment-776 Enjoyed reading this article, very good summary. I think you are a tad harsh on Lescott though whom I thought had a very solid, comfortable game. Dyer dived for the penality which was a joke and Halsey was close to giving them a second when it looked like for e minute he had pointed to the spot after a challenge from Milner. I though halsey was poor actually. RE: Penalty takers, I wouldnt put it past Kolarov to take one....my hero to step up and put his foot through one....i'd quite like to see that although i'd worry he'd fluff it over the bar!! He took his goal very nicely which you do not dwell on too much which is a shame and he looks more assured with every game he plays although it will be interesting to see him cope with Nani on 12th February? As for the red and blakc kit moment, brilliant, but where was Hart!!! Enjoyed reading this article, very good summary.

I have a strong feeling that you are absolutely spot on!

I do not mean in the odd game here and there like in the past, (Gillingham and Totenham in the cup spring to mind) but over a period like our last 5 games where we have not played well but remained unbeaten. Lets face it, in previous season's the games against Blackpool, Arsenal, Wolves and the cup games against Leicester would have seen us get 2 points at best and knocked out of the cup they way we have played in stages. The difference for me is we now have match winners and game changers like Tevez, Silva, Johnson, Yaya, Balotelli and in time, Kolarov and Dzeko. I also believe these men will win us a trophy sooner rather than later and hopefully that will open the door for many more like it did for Chelsea. For that was then and this is now fellow City fans, enjoy.

Will have to see if the club announce anything re the colours for Notts County. I've got a feeling it will be red and black for the whole of this cup run. Thanks Thorpie.

Lescott is at his peak and you can not improve much when you are at your peak. But young talented center backs like Boyata and Boateing are not only very young [not at their peak] but as good as Lescott. The chances that they improve drastically given right opportunities are high [knowing that they can perform as good as Lescott even with their slip-ups in any given game] It is not the question of criticizing Lescott but the fact that there are other much younger and talented options that are at least as good as Lescott.
