I disagree I think Nastastic was largely to blame. What he was doing I don't know, perhaps hart should not have come out but Nastasic MUST HAVE seen Hart coming from quite far back, had he just left the ball Joe probably would have got it.

Why he heads it over Joe's head? What was Joe supposed to do.

I think both were to blame. But Joe was NOT 100% to blame. Rubbish

Oh c'mon, i never said Hart should take all the blame.

Its not like Nastasic intended to head it over Joe's head or anything, Joe was supposed to stand ground and wait for the play to progress and make a decision at the suitable moment and not lunge in like a headless chicken.

That was a poor decision from Hart's part and Nastasic should have shown a bit more awareness.

I didn't say you specifically said that, but most of the news outlets are and it is not true. If Nastastic just left it probably no problem.

Anyways, good for us.

p.s. I'd start the 'Who To Blame' thread at the Man City forum if I was there...maybe they can vote for it.

Was worried in the second half but the squad stepped up defensively and played very well. Very fortunate to get the second goal but a great win none the less.

Well, it is a fun read over there

They do blame Hart though. Very, very much! Like 'get the fuck out of our team' much.

didn't shitty have beef w/ us a couple of seasons back during a similar lost in the 11/12 season? I remember something about Ashley Cole singing that Europa Liga song....Europa League on Thursday nites? I am sure it was man city or manure. Both dirty mancs, it's is confusing for a West Coast Yank

nastastic dint see hart coming... his eyes were totally on the ball. the only way u can fault him is by saying he should have cleared it away from the goal but why should he do that when he expects his GK to have more sense than a toddler to stay inside the D and hold his header.

If he couldn't see Joe coming he needs his eyes checked!!

They talked about it after the game and you could see it in the replay, he must have seen Hart and not only that Joe was screaming at him.

I really don't care who's fault it was it helped us and that's all that mattered.

LOOOL. Technically, physically and in terms of tempo, this was the best game in the EPL this season. Both teams put in an incredible performance, imo.

Exactly why I said they are more deluded. The quality of football both teams displayed was much better than United's at the moment, technically, physically and mentally. They were extremely lucky to have SAF to lead their ridiculously average squad to titles.

[Special Juan 27,424]

He needs praise simply for keeping his head up after the poor miss in the first half, he built on that and showed great mental strength to go on and be quite excellent.

Lol how is it racist? Thats pathetic. You saids Oscar had blips in the game, he was far far better than hazard (whom you said was decent). Report feature shouldnt be allowed for kids to use as they get offended very easily.

To be honest I thought both of them were very poor. Not that they were very very bad but very below their standards. Defensively they were kinda ok, Oscar a bit better here, as always, while Hazard a bit better offensively. Both poor anyways. What was getting on my nerves was Oscar trying to make plays without raising his head and looking for teammates. ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME. There were at least 2 crosses to nobody, a back heel to a city defender and I think there was something else. Also he killed a counterattack by tripping over the ball.

[Dion 2,476]

Also I wouldn't give credits to luck in this game. That was a forced mistake by Torres. If he wasn't pressing there it probably wouldn't have occurred. Even considering it was luck, you have to consider they were lucky that Torres missed that easy sitter and hit the crossbar afterwards, so they were luckier.

Torres deserved that goal. I called it on Skype too, I said he would score the winning goal in the moment City equalized. @Barbara knows

Those lot were also at the Munich game.

Mikel 0 vote ?

[tapa 11]

He is a marked man. I thought he did his duties well yesterday without bringing too much going forward. Class act though.

Hazard was a disappointment in a big game again. Especially given his recent form

YOU REMEMBER BAYERN, Manchester united,.... ???????
