City v Boro

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Yes Ludo, bit of a puzzle that. It's not like Pep can claim it was all still working well and we just had to wait for the second goal to come.

We were clearly falling off the pace as the half progressed and Boro were getting more and more into the game. Errors started creeping into Fernandinho and Silva's games. And it's time we found a better left back than Clichy.

oops! Thought subs were crying out earlier lots of players looking tired.
As second half went on became obvious Boro would nick one oh hum 

[Ludo]

When he did make a substitution I was surprised it wasn't Silva coming off. I know Gungadin didn't have a great game but I thought Silva was particularly poor.

Silva did well but notice now he tires by early second half deffo should have been subbed
need 0-0 draw Landan derby and C'Mon the Hornets

Really was after the lord mayors show.

They gave KDB too long to set up our goal, we returned the favour for their goal.

If we cant protect a one goal lead, we will struggle to win the league.

Absolute garbage. We just didn't make enough effort to get the second in that second half. We had chances and missed them but it was still lack lustre and you could see their goal coming. Sucker punch. Pep still has a lot to learn. Unless he pumps the boys up to win matches comfortably then it will keep happening. I was furious at the final whistle.

Teams will come to City and play at least 9 behind the ball to defend and try and catch us on the break. We need to finish our chances. No one tracked back with their scorer, Clichy was challenging two players. Maybe it was a hangover after the Barca game. Could be 4th by tomorrow by 2 points by not playing well. Early days yet and a lot more games ahead. 

[Victoria]

Pep out!

[zacc]

Pep out!

[Swiss]

This was a typical City performance...

Smashed Barce in the Champs, draw to Boro at home in the league!

Oh well, makes things a bit more exciting at the top!

You can tell we were tired. Peps selection?

Well we're down 2 CM from the squad with Delph (being the new Darren Anderton) and Yaya (Olaf from Frozen) taking up 2 places that could have been utilised by someone who can actually play!

Either in the next window or in the summer, we'll see more CM's come in to the engine room.
