no signs of any improvement what so ever, very worrying.

Imo, Balotelli was our best attacking threat by a country mile.
Why the fuck we took him off is an absoloute mystery to me.
I thought Vinny, Nastasic & Clichy were great today, except Nasti switched off twice once for Nolan's goal & once for what should have been a goal from Carroll. I'm glad he got away with it because that performance must have done him the world of good.
Most of the team played pretty well, but it's that 'going through the motions' comfortable draw kind of performance that we've seen from Arsenal & Chelsea so many times in the past as the rags cruise to another title. West Ham were shite today & we've handed another 2 points to the rags; they will win there.
Nothing so bad about City today but right now our title is slipping away. The rags are getting better results than us against the same teams so far & it has to change pretty soon or it will count at the end.

What's happened to Ya Ya. I thought OK Garcia is on and Ya Ya to be pushed forward and nothing of the sort.
Our corners today were utter C**p! I don't think Tevez delivered anything to a City player.
Best chance fell to Barry who for me was MOTD but stabbed it past the post when he should have scored.
Now we have 5 tough games and dare I say it will define our season.

Sorry mate, you are wrong. That is what it is like every week. Swansea last week was down to a worldy from tevez, other than that, the possession etc and general aimless play around the box was identical

Gob smacked that anyone thought we were shite today. We did everything but score. Do not know how long we will have to put up with edin and mario starting as that worries me that bobby cannot see that we are only half a team when they start.
I know emotions/stella run high but shite today? come on. The problem is the starting 11, which will get bobby the bullet if he doesn`t act quickly.

No we didn't, we didn't make the fucking goalkeeper male a save
100% possession and 100 shots counts for fuck all if you don't trouble the goalkeeper - identical to last week, without a world class strike out of nowhere from tevez, that would be two appallingly bad draws because of a pedestrian approach

Lots of fantastic positions today, barely a decent chance created. That's not title form, it's a top 3 performance by a class side, but not a title winning one. Need to improve quickly.

I'm not convinced that half of our team are interested in retaining the title as they seem pretty happy to just go through the motions.I would say this draw may come back and bite us on the arse come May West Ham were there for the taking tonight and we let them off the hook.

mancini just said we played well. We had lots of posession but that doesnt equate to playing well. We did not play well.

The problem is that today we had good possession and did nothing with it due to who we started with upfront. The spam fans cheering at the end acting like they won didn`t think we were shit yet some on here do...funny don`t you think. Not saying I didn`t expect a result cos I most certainly did (sorry walami) but with a very big claret and blue bus, small, fast, low centre of gravity players were needed and he got it wrong....again. That`s what is worrying pal.

what a joke
I actually thought Nasti played really well today. he did make 1 mistake on Nolan's wrongfully disallowed goal but everyone makes mistakes. Nasri too was good today...definitely one of his better performances, as few and far between as those are.
me thinks Nolan was offside. whatever.
loads of possession, not enough real chances. I had a bad feeling bout this one, so a point is ok with me.

we created a lot of chances, they were just that , chances.Barry should have scored , no excuse but he handled the ball and got away with it .Mario needs to use his head rather than bringing his foot up shoulder high.
Whu closed us down well , fair play to them , but City are the masters of their own destiny and i am quite convinced that this team will maximise the points against the Rags and Chelski

I thought it quite strange to be playing Tevez, Mario and Dzeko in the same team and it proved to be right. You need players who will feed them in rather than those who are going to be naturally greedy and it turned out that they turned out neither.
To many stoppages when they weren't needed, for me. Webb seemed to want to hamper the game rather than let it flow. However, West Ham are doing well and a point at the Boleyn is not bad, even though we dominated the play.
Overall, not great but nothing too disastrous today. Some may feel we dropped behind the race but for me it feels like we put ourselves right in it; similar to last season.

City played well, eh? No. They didn't. There are issues that are crippling us and none of us know what they are. We are a million miles away from last season and if you want to kid yourself otherwise, that's your prerogative. Go ahead.

I think the opposite. We did play well but couldn't put it in the net. We've not played too well all season yet today you believe we should go out and beat West Ham away from home.
Not great, just a decent showing.
PS. Anybody watch this game on ESPN? They really don't like us, do they?
