so i turn my back for 5 minutes and milner turns into a footballer and yaya lays off the fags eh

makes you wonder where this run of form came from, typical city doing it when the league is gone

Mainly from Pellegrini finally adopting 4-2-3-1 for a run of games. We still look like conceding if play gets within 10 yards of our CBs, that 2nd Swansea goal was a joke - good finish by Gomis but Mangala and Demichelis just allowed him to stroll between them when there wasn't another Swansea player in sight.

Couldnt agree more with you Brendan, but what I find baffling is what has made him scrap his  4 4 2?............ even at home v QPR

2nd goal was very depressing, I had this 4 - 2 for them feeling (prozac time)

I think we're on a false run of good form helped by teams who had given up ala West ham. When a team looked like they wanted to play us, we look like rabbits in headlights.

Papering over the cracks with no real solution

but swansea were desperate for the Europa

Definitely, and they showed our weaknesses when they decided to play football. I thought they had the best of the start of the first half and the best of the end of that half too.
Then the start of the second was good for them but their mentality changed when they had something to protect which was suicide allowing us to play. When they went toe to toe in the centre mid, I think they bossed us, which was my point, any team that has a go does well.

I do think we played well in parts, lots of nice passing and movement and some really nice goals.
Toure's first was lucky, Milner's was a nice goal but Franks long ball (very nice pass) was from the edge of our box.
