City should just do what Chelsea did by admitting and embracing the fact that they're a inferior bum club that doesn't belong at this level.

Start parking the bus in every game and you might fluke the trophy on penalties like they did.

Manchester United ain't ****ing about this year.

To be fair it looked like they had given up even before kick off so it was no surprise they only came out with the draw. Mancini already said 2 weeks ago he didn't think they could qualify which is a really **** thing for the manager of a club to say. Then there was a half empty stadium, clearly the fans thought the same so that's going to rub off on the players as well.
All in all it had been built up by everyone as a lost cause before they even kicked off by manager, fans, media etc. add to that they played a decent Ajax team and that was basically it.

That's been the look of the team all season this year though. They used to come out and look unbeatable from the opening whistle. Now even in the victories they're starting the games lackluster then coming out all piss and vinegar in the second half. They're giving up goals early then coming back from them.

Weird stuff.

Man City just look wayy too slow.

Watched both City - Ajax and Real - Dortmund last night and the speed difference was insane.

Need to get rid of the likes of Gaz Baz for starters and need a big injection of pace in that team.

Personally I think it's because a lot of your players minds are elsewhere.

Should get rid of Yaya Toure (great player, but always saying he wants out), Tevez and even Balotelli.

It's not as if you don't have the money to do so.

Thing is the team always looks better with Barry playing. He doesn't look like he does much of anything but he keeps things solid at the back and plays the unspectacular distributive passes to retain possession. I think he should stay. I do think that City need width. A real pacey winger would make a huge difference. Last season we would counter attack in a massive wave making teams afraid to come forwards, no the counters seem much slower. A pacey winger would fix that.

Right, even your two most creative players in Silva and Nasri can't be described as 'fast'.

You play very similar to an Italian team, which wasn't so bad last season when you barely conceded but this season it just looks slow and counter productive.

Wait, don't you have the mighty Sean Sinclair?

Saying that, he also said there was no way they could win the premierleague last year

Reverse psychology? When it works no one says anything and they are a genius..

When it doesnt work, what a ****ty manager

Same as someone trying a lil dink penalty...if the keeper saves it...its an awful penalty...

If It goes in...'wow what composure to do that'
