Umm which Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi are you watching?

The decision to start Balotelli over Tevez really shows how average of a manager that Mancini is. I would have preferred a draw, but oh well! What a fantastic game that was. ps. city fans are a bunch of twats

We heard you the first time, now shut the fuck up.

It's quite clear that we're sorely missing Lampard at the moment.

Every time this piece of shit is asked about chances that Torres has missed, he answers by saying the entire squad missed chances. Well here you are, when you don't address an issue like your main striker playing like shit, things are going to go wrong.

fucking nauseating. That's all I can say

Our players are nowhere near the level of Barcelona's in midfield in terms of technical skill and creativity. Also, their style would be much less effective in England because of how much more physical it is in the Premier League (clear example would be their match against us in the CL semis).

Mikel and Ramires did a fantastic job in front of the back four. However, playing this type of formation comes at a cost, which was any creativity we had going forward. Also, the fact that Mata and Hazard were subpar today didn't help us much.

On the bright side, we were solid in the back and managed to contain City's offense. On the other hand, there was pretty much nothing going forward. We were much too narrow and congested in midfield. I think we need to have a more creative midfielder in place of Mikel (and have Ramires take up that role) in order for us to create more chances going forward.

Can you stop repeating the same thing please? We get the point. It's fucking boring.

What a finale. Regardless of whether you wanted City/Utd to win, that was just fucking amazing.

heh oh dear lord.

Words don't describe how bad that was.

The linesman has no idea what is offside and what fucking isn't. He denied us two clear cut chances. And also, where the fuck is our home support? It's just been the away fans audible in the stadium, bloody ridiculous.

I stopped reading there. But yeah, it's basically impossible for us to win the league now. We best be focusing on the Champions League and FA cup, the league is well and truly out of sight.

I don't think so, it was for a large portion of the match that most of our home supporters were really quiet.

The atmosphere was so shite, the Liverpool fans were out singing us throughout most of the game.

Yes, we're having a poor season, but to say he should be out is quite ridiculous. This is not down to just the manager, but also the players. It's not entirely his fault that the lads don't look like they could give two shits... the money that they get at the end of the week is all they care for, really.

This is ridiculous. It took SAF 6-8 years to win the league when he managed Manchester United. Do you think they would be half the club they are at the moment had the board decided to sack him? No, they were patient, and as we can see, they're one of the biggest clubs in Europe. CA's already won the league in his debut season, and there's potential for plenty more, but some years we're not going to win, that's just the truth. I have to say, us fans have become spoilt over the years. How are we ever going to come close to winning a lot of trophies if we keep sacking our managers for mediocre runs?

Fucking shit. No sense of urgency whatsoever, I can't believe that the money we give to the club (tickets and apparel) are the wages that these players earn. Even after the bin dippers scored, none of our players looked arsed. The mis communication between Cech and Ivanovic was fucking embarrassing also. Furthermore, the formation that Ancelotti put out gave us no width whatsoever as we had no natural wingers, only our sidebacks (who were preoccupied a lot of the time), and therefore there was absolutely no service for our forwards. I'm trying to cool down, but the amount of effort put in by the lads goes no where near to deserving to win the league.

Mutu has to be the biggest one, we paid quite a sum for him and he ends up fucking snorting coke, doesn't look like he's learned his lesson either. De Lucas and Ben Haim

No I meant for the scouser that posted on here, but now that I think of it, we really don't need to stoop to their level.

I think splashing 25 million quid on Luiz is quite a mistake. The defence isn't our weak point, it's been our front line for the majority of the season. We've only conceded 7 goals, the lowest with Man United. The partnership of Terry and Alex/Ivo has been pretty damn good this season. However, we've scored 24 goals, 10 off of the leaders. I know that it's not the best example to use, but it's been pretty transparent that we've been lacking attacking spark and creativity, and with Lampard and Drogba not getting any younger, it's just going to get worse. Signing a defender should not be a priority atm.
