Another poor home performance, despite being safe. Our guys are in vacation mode now, it's obvious. We'll never match City in any aspect of the game but we have to learn to keep the ball longer FFS! But for a 10 minute spell we were crap. Don't know if it's all down to Roy but guys show some professional pride and have a go at least. No team is invincible.

Exactly! Push further up, close down their midfield and they knock it round us like we’re not even there.. these are world class players we’re up against today.

Roy’s choice was to limit the space they had to get in behind us and then hit on the break. Unfortunately with City they close you down instantly, so once the balls won it becomes very difficult to keep possesion.

beaten by a much better team.

no grumbles here, they controlled the game from the outset.

Your dear old Dad fell asleep by your continual moaning.

Who’s tactic have against City?

But in answer to your response, they did at the Etihad

28% possession is unacceptable. Ideal opportunity to have a real go and again safety safety safety set up from our manager. I can recall when we used to frighten the living daylights out of the big boys but now we are such a negative force at home. We should have the mindset of ‘10th’ I.e bettering last years place which is now a pipe dream. No doubt Tickled Pink will come up with something supporting Roy on this one!!

Bring back Brolin
