Either you give a long ball for our players to run at,or when you want to play it short at least warn Vinny or Demichelis to stay back .I wonder why yaya wasn't by Lampard who always commits himself to the game,whilst Yaya....!

The loss of Fernando was a major blow. The other worry is the lack of sharpness and snap in our play and how many players seemed to be going through the motions. Other teams have had multiple players returning later from the WC without the same issues as ours.

Width nothing kolarov was poor did not look for the ball and no City player wanted to give it him. Stoke fans were good. On the plus side plenty of time to sort this out.
