Just cant believe you think Yaya played well?? He needs to get much fitter. If he played well, Kolarov gets Man of the Match

These are the sort of losses that I call “bad day in the office”. However; in the light of previous results against Aston Villa and Birmingham city. I have started to doubt seriously our position in top four. Unless we start winning the remaining games with a possibility of only one to 2 losses, we will not make it top 4

Have to say i am thinking you are being a bit harsh. I was furious at our defensive display in the first leg but i thought the team were far more extreverted on sat than i would have expected. We passed the ball sublimely at times and took the game to them when we had to. Alright maybe Dzecko could have started but it was only natural that the game would begin cautiously with a midfield battle.
My biggest problem was Philips being brought on. To me it seemed inane and desperate for a team whith such a supposedly deep squad. Nothing against Philips just that the last time he played i think was at the start of the january window and throwing him on like that seemed too risky even despite Johnson’s injury.

Good article as ever.

When watching the seemingly endless replays from an infinate number of angles of the first goal, I was quite amused to listen to the commentary and their commending of Rooney for making such a great run. Now, after watching all of these replays, what I gathered was:

1) It was route 1, effectively a set piece from there which, as we all know, City have struggled to defend against.
2) Funnily enough, “Wazza” (in AK’s words – I’d prefer Wazzock) was only involved at one time …. when he lost out in an aerial battle to Lescott.
3) Zabaleta is not a left back. Boateng and Kolarov are more accustomed to playing in the position at international level and, in my opinion, if Boateng is not playing right back or centre back (as seems increasingly unlikely at the moment, depending on Richard’s various injuries) then, as Long as Kolarov is playing in midfield, the only sensible option is Boateng at left back.
4) This is the last picking I can do for the goal. For the goal, instead of diving immediately, Hart seemed to take an eternity to set himself, almost pressing forward, before diving to his left.

Does Silva’s bottom get our goal or does Džeko?

Then came Mancini at his best. As soon as we scored, it seemed that we went into our shells and reverted to pretty passing along the back four and, if we were lucky, to a defensive midfielder.

Was it any wonder then, that united found a way to score? Not at all. And, although it pains me to admit it, what a goal. I couldn’t help being in awe of it – partially due to the goal itself and partially due to the fact that it bagged me 9 points. Shame about the ugly git that scored it.
