Barbara 15,149 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Yes there should. Even if 17 out of 17 was not quite true well, we were first except for the second or third round don't remember when Spurs had a better GD, the thing is, we were there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Lets go for the quadruple we are clearly capable of it even though it is near on impossible. Becoming the first ever manager in Premier League football history to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generaldane 64 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 One thing in particular I love about that interview with Mou is how he mentioned people having short term memory when it comes o football its practically impossible to have a comment more true than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Jose Mourinho should leave us alone... hopefully we'll face Chelsea in Europe, says leading Real Madrid figureMourinho recently criticised Real Madrid's first team stars by saying he had missed being in love with his players during his time at the Santiago Bernabeu.And his latest remark appears to have angered a senior Real Madrid star. Speaking to Marca, the unnamed player said: 'Hopefully we'll face him in the Champions League. If we reach the final, here's hoping it's against Chelsea. Then we'll do our talking.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2888994/Jose-Mourinho-leave-says-leading-Real-Madrid-figure.html 'a senior Real Madrid star', guess who?

lionsden 4,689 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 He got it wrong today with the line up. I understand that we had to freshen up the team due to the hectic schedule but soto have the best/2nd best defensive record in the league and we usually struggle against defensively resilient teams. this was not the game to play Schurle and Mikel. Heck those two would have been better off playing against westham instead.Tactically and logically it was not the right thing to do. It was too little too late in the end. I also felt Remy should have been introduced much earlier instead of Drogba and Costa should ahve been taken off as he was having a poor game and adding nothing to the attack.The momentum is firmly in City's court now and they show no signs of stopping. Peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 That's one of his faults, Jose. Messing up the starting XI. But in theory, the line-up made some sense today. It's the lack of decisive changes which is unlike Mourinho. Drogba shouldn't be coming on before Remy, he just shouldn't. His close control and passing for one is not up to scratch with the rest of the team. The ball was bouncing off him like crazy. Also Mikel should have been off earlier, as should have been the below par Costa, though I understand why Jose persisted with him. And Oscar should have at least been on the bench (though he's another who has been average recently). Still what can you do when the ref is a fucking slime ball cheating cunt? Not much.

Popular Post! The Skipper 20,609 Posted December 28, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted December 28, 2014 I thought Jose's XI today was fine, and we certainly reacted in the right way after going down and after HT. Just unlucky today. Not going to complain about anything Jose did tbh, doesn't deserve it for this game because we played well enough to win it, just wasn't our day.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 The firsthalf was wasted without oscar and Willian energy. Our subs are not good enough. Once a player is missing from our team, we don't win. Mancity can play without yaya or fernadinho or Nasri or kompany or silva or aguero and their subs still do the job. If we rest any of our starters we perform below par.Mancity have the better squad and its showing in this festive period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to complain about anything Jose did tbh, doesn't deserve it for this game because we played well enough to win it, just wasn't our day.People will always moan about the starting XI when we don't win. Can't be helped I guess. You could say we were unlucky today but on the other hand, we made life difficult by almost trying to walk the ball into the net. Southampton's best chance came because Terry, pathetically, dropped way too deep and played Mane onside. The Skipper and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a betting man, I wouldn't be punting on us to win the league as things stand that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! illmatic 901 Posted December 28, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted December 28, 2014 The only mistake is to think that always when we do not win, was for one mistake. Always when we don't win "The XI was bad". Today Mou did the correct, rotation, the team needs him and we request this to him. Unfortunately today the thing don't occurred good. darrus, bababoom, The Chels and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have easy fixture now. Later their harder fixture comes by. I say going into March we are looking much better as gotten all the hard fixtures out of the way.
