Fuck am I not looking forward to work tomorrow.
We are cowards and show no balls when our backs are to the wall. As mentioned we just don't work hard enough off the ball. In that 2nd half how many times did one of their defenders play it to a midfielder 20 yards forward and the midfielder had time to control, turn, look up and still not a single City player closing him down.
Not sure where we go from here. The defence just looks so shaky.
Gutted
Carragher is showing Liverpool players in between the lines & blaming it on 442, when the fucking picture he's showing, clearly has 5 players there.
There are easily enough players, but none are pressing the ball.

Thing is as you know when we press the ball the oppo simply knock the ball round our enforcers and carry on attacking. It's fucking shocking to see time and time again.

But what is the problem then? Is it just only down to abstract terms like character and leadership (which I by the way think is part of the explanation but thank god, I'm not a pundit)? What's your opinion?

getdressedmctavish wrote:Its a sensible point Ted. But what we never see is Pellers change whats going on from the side of the pitch. He must know who is too far forward. Why doesn't he get some instructions on to the pitch. Him and the other fella just seem to sit there muttering. Mind you, Wenger seemed helpless on Wednesday.Its a quandary.That said Pellers instruction when the camera was on him seemed to be to get higher up the pitch whereas Kompany and Mangala seemed to want to retreat to the edge of their box all the time. Is that what made the pitch too big?
Is that not cos we are over reliant on the same players though? Are squad options just aren't as effective so the same faces start every single game if they can walk
Edit - re Teds post about not being fit enough

I agree completely, if fitness is the key then Pellegrini has dropped a large bollock by rotating poorly.
I mean, fuck, we lose at Liverpool almost every year. Nothing new here really and I was more bitter about it last year when we were even better but still lost thanks to a Kompany clearance... :). But anyway, this is something that's doing my head in. It's plain for everyone to see that the system is not working. OK if we lost playing the best we could have, but we didn't. I really want us to play in the CL next year, if not for financial reasons, but we are making a race out of it when it should've been done and dusted a long time ago.

We were nowhere near it when Milner came on.
Miles better with Dzeko.
Not the system.

Sloppy all over today.
What do you imagine he did, to make it so much worse ?
And I mean the players aren't fit enough. Not that they are tired.
It's pretty much proven that is the case now.
