So why didn't we do that defence against Arsenal.I thought we were superb. Would be happy to do that more often.
I would prefer us to attack at home.

Fair point. At least Eddie now knows that it’s a viable option. Maybe he’ll use it for the tougher away games in the future. It would be nice to have a positive GD one seasonSo why didn't we do that defence against Arsenal.

The game here last season was very close and it was a last minute goal that decided it.
So I go in hope, if we get beaten so be it, but as long as the team give 100% and learnt from the Arsenal game, I will be happy.
Same as Bill, I listened to the full game on the radio. The commentators were none too flattering about our negative tactics:
We setup to counterattack and we were a bit short of personnel and quality to launch a meaningful counterattack, that’s all. City did well to cover the danger whenever it looked like we might create something. When we did get a chance there were a lot of poor first touches which didn’t help our cause. Understandably we were sometimes a bit over eager to get forward ( when we finally did have the ball ) which often led to us giving it straight back to City, who to be fair pressed very well.Only heard it on the Radio.......but No shots on goal....
Its got to be said ...if that had been a cup tie, say Yeovil v Man City im sure 3 or 4 attempts at goal would occur..whats going on?
Liverpool v Havant and Waterlooville comes to mind!
Fear Fear Fear....and more...!
No wonder the Top Six get more distant!
What!....if we had Van Nistlerooy up front what possible difference would it have madeWould of preferred someone else up top as king is a waste of space
Manchester City taking the ball to the corner to run the clock down. Celebrating like they'd won the league at the end. We made them work for a win. I consider that a good performance. That with 2 centre backs with virtually no PL experience.
One huge complaint. City put the ball into touch so they could bring a sub on. We then threw it back to them. What has football become? I thought that was shocking.
Aye it was amusing to see Sterling and co running the clock down in that way..,we seemed to have our tails up in the last 10-15 mins, some good pressing by Lys when he came on. I though the lads battled well. The goal when it came felt a little fortuitous, a couple of ricochets and a a scrappy finish. Boruc played well. Ake superb. Mepham and Simpson acquitted themselves well. Smudger fought hard. No disgrace to lose by a goal to such a good side. We’ll pick up plenty of points if we play at this level.Manchester City taking the ball to the corner to run the clock down. Celebrating like they'd won the league at the end.
