Are you sure that's just not Sergio dropping deeper himself to get more of the ball?


definitely playing deeper. I didn't quite expect Leicester to have enough buses to park like this but if Kun does get right forward he is smothered by some of the 7 man back line they have.

I don't think City have been anything like as good as they can be but against teams playing Leicester you have to be patient and we have been. Quite a few chances when you reflect on it and Bony does look like the real deal when you get to him in the box.he's hit the keepers legs twice ( i think one was given as offside against Navas but it wasn't) and he even got a header in from a corner which seemed to be hacked off the line.

A couple of moments for Leicester and they probably should have had a pen for that Bony challenge.Hopefully an early goal 2nd half and we batter them

Are we really playing that bad?

No. We have been much the better team. A bit more cutting edge and this would be over. Bony has been very effective IMO


i agree. I think that the Count has actually listened to the criticism and eaten a slice of humble pie and sat in front of a paper and pad with Big Rubes and said "we've got more talent than 99% of the teams in the world. Let's make a plan."

if we played this style vs Barca i think we'd whip their asses.

Bony could have been on a hattrick with that latest chance.

Daniel Taylor's piece in the Guardian today told us all we needed to know about what MP thinks. Like myself, and a few other enlightened Mancityfellas contributors, he is of the opinion that 4-4-2 is perfectly fine, and preferable to 4-5-1 or 3-5-2, etc. Pellegrini gave the biggest hint yet that there are certain players who are inflexible show-pony wankers who are only at City for the easy life and the odd medal here and there. Oh, and incompetents who are along for the ride. Hello, Hart, Kompany, Joke summer signings, Nasri...

Our biggest concern is how to keep our first line players a like Aguero and Silva. The solution? More players like Aguero and Silva, and less clowns like Nasri and Fernando.

Milner? Not in the remotest bit the class needed for a club wanting to compete with Real, Barca and Bayern.

Bony's overall play has been good. He's held up the ball well and movement has been what you'd expect from a striker in the area. He will score goals. Day's like today happen.

Seriosly, have you been emailing Hart Bridge's?
"I used to be 6 foot 2 with curly hair, look what it's done to me"

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."
