City v Liverpool

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Right now - I'm borderline getting Kompany off for Demi 

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Finally he makes a tackle!

[gavin]

The defence is an absolute shambles. Pellegrini must go. He simply cannot sort it out. City the better team but just look like conceding every time Liverpool attack.

[Zabba]

Our defence is shockingly bad and having our left or right back in their half of the field most of the time leaves us badly exposed to quick breakaways.

The defence is an absolute shambles. Pellegrini must go. He simply cannot sort it out. City the better team but just look like conceding every time Liverpool attack.

I hate admitting it butI am losing faith in Pellegrini to set up the defence, and team, properly for key matches.

[Tricky Trev]

Welcome aboard the gtfo Pellegrini.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

If we're looking for positive stuff, Silva and Aguero have been magnificent, while Yaya, Fernandinho and Zabaleta (going forward at least) have kept us playing and in the picture.

I'd like to see Nasri sharpen up and select his passes a bit quicker. 

[Stephen Paul]

Nasri just isn't doing it for me

[Swiss]

These chipped long balls are doing my swede in!

[Zabba]

Shit free kick Silva. What we expect these days from set pieces.

[goat]

good news, fernando coming on

[Zabba]

Outplayed by a team barely of the plane and still looking fresher than us. Time right for Pelle to stand down.

[Lekos]

We'll that's been coming. Was about to say, if any team looks like they played 120 minutes in Turkey on Thursday it's City.

We've been second best for the vast majority of the game.

Shite.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

All our play the few minutes up to that goal was awful. We dropped off them too much in our own half - too much space. You could see the goal coming.

I've said it before - we are a fucking lazy team.

[Lekos]

80th minute and we've had 1 shot on target

[Zabba]

Lazy and disorganised team, bad leadership by manager. PL over and top 4 finish could even get difficulty on this form.

[gavin]

Surely a decent manager would have done something about our lack of impact from dead balls.

[Lekos]

I'd say league may well be done, dropping out of the top four is pushing it a bit. Can't see that happening.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Yaya was in good in the first half - very poor in the second.

[Swiss]

We've been worse since dzeko went off and we changed from 442 :-D
