3 weeks actually.

And if you have been watching City this season, you would notice that they aren't the same physical and defensive force under Mancini. They are arguably more attack minded and fluid offensively under Pellegrini but defensively they are a suspect, as proven by their 3 league away games this season and against Bayern. City now only play with 2 midfielders in Fernandinho and Toure and despite their qualities, there are always spaces to be exploited behind them when you get at them and their defenders look shaky in 1 v 1 situation.

OK. 3 weeks :blush:

But they seems to play well against us. Hardest game of the season for me considering the quality of the side (..probably second hardest after the one in Etihad.)

Yes, you could say his tactical changes could have cost us the game but at the same time, his changes in the formation and bringing attacking players on, helped us to crank up the pressure and arguably won us the game. He took risks in trying to win the game. Can sometimes go either way. Shouldn't be surprised with it since it's Mourinho. Better than Benitez who just sticks with the same system and makes like for like changes(and probably happy with a draw)...

Exactly mourinho risks loosing to get 3 points. The team that wins the EPL is the team that has the ability to change draws to wins in the last 10 mins. Check the stats for the past 5 seasons.

i voted for willian as MOTM simply because he had big-big role in the result of the game and both the goals. remember that he started the counter.

but i feel there should be an option to vote for jose too.

but not a good performance from the player.

cech - 7/10 - normal performance. could not have stopped the goal. otherwise his handling and shot stopiing was brilliant.

Cole- 5/10- another hopeless performance. the no. of times norwich played behind him in the 2nd half was just amazing. should be dropped.

JT - 7/10 - was a wall and dealt with everything that was thrown in the box.but the only time he dint, we conceded. has to take the blame for the goal.

luiz - 7/10 - could have stopped the goal. was ahead of pilkington but dont know how he dint get his head on the ball. but cant blame him. his distribution was decent but his runs were stupid especially with iva free on the right.

iva - 7/10- was pretty solid. dealt with the threat of the norwich winger, and also joined in the attack.

ramires - 5/10- his worst performance this season. simply could not assert himself in the match. for the first time, some team played the ball around him and was successful.

lampard - 6/10-got over-run in the mid when norwich turned on the heat. has lost a lot of speed and simply cant handle counters.

mata - 6/10- poor performance. his only good moment was probably that awesome pass to oscar which oscar shot almost to the throw-in line. was not at all influential.

oscar - 7/10- got an early goal, but have to say, he had a game just like mata. not many "creative" moments.

schurlle - 7/10- started as winger, went to wing-back, then to left-back. brilliant workrate. was much more an attacking threat than oscar and mata with his direct running but his decision making and shots were horrendous.

ba-7/10 - was our best player in the 1st half. but simply went AWOL in the 2nd. was a much better direct threat and should have got on the score-sheet atleast once. that rambo low-cross miss from 4 yards was particularly embarassing.

hazard - 8/10- was a threat since he came on. the finishing was not particularly good and he still has to work on it.

willian - 9/10- dint put a foot wrong since he came on. defended well on the norwich counter and big-big role in both the goal.

.

I'll have to steal your ratings because I pretty much agree with everything except regarding Ba.

I just knew that his misses would cost us in the second half because Norwich would be back in the game. I also don't understand why a guy of his build goes to the ground so often.

Although I agree with the rating, don't think David's runs were bad, but the striker was obviously instructed to try and stop them. David and the team must realize this will happen in the future. Remember Corinthians match?

Ramires' game was so bad that I think he actually did commit a penalty in that strange challenge; he completely missed ball there, though norwich player perhaps made a meal out of it.

I was talking about Mourinho not making changes even though Norwich scoring a goal was pretty much inevitable and the team was struggling. I actually like the fact that when he did make a change, he really went for it as has been the case before.

It's time the boys start showing why they get paid the big bucks and put in convincing displays though. Only played one great game so far this season and that was against poor opposition.

We're nowhere near our best yet are only 2 points behind Liverpool/Arsenal. Sounds good to me.

This is a bit OTT but I hope Ivanovic picks up a harmless 1 week injury on International break so Azpi can get a decent chance to prove himself.

And we really need to sign Luke Shaw in January. Cole is on his last legs.
