And don't take them yourself. They nearly punished us from one counterattack after we lost the ball.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

That issue was down to lack of sharpness and not being switched on. It will be eradicated after a couple of weeks training.

I think it's a problem with the system we use. When there's a freekick or corner all our players are looking to get in their zonal positions leaving us exposed to the quick or short corner and freekicks. We need to make sure that the nearest player stays in position so that they can't take it so quickly.
In the words of my Old Man, "Life will never be the same without Man City, so get it in while you can".

That would be good & a feather in Mancini's cap as we've been getting caught out from them for at least twenty odd years, usually (to my screaming annoyance) by the rags. In fact, if we don't get caught out by a short corner v rags & also beat them, I'll get pissed twice in celebration of each event. I may also show my arse in Burton's window.
