But the thread seems to show Hart was to blame - can someone explain where the blame lies please - got involved with Stella for many hours after the game so not seen any replays
Hart came out and then scurried back to his line. If you commit, make sure you take the fecking ball!!
But also Zabaleta was supposed to be picking up Campbell & made a right fucking mess of it both times.
Just as much to blame as Hart for the 2nd & totally to blame for the 3rd.
Goal one came when we were one up and maybe just maybe thinking the job was done.I felt relaxed because we had scored and maybe the team did even if subconciously.The ball was on the right side and we had enough players around it and their players that there should have been no trouble.The problem was we were allowing them to keep the ball as if "don't worry we are in control what are they going to do".
Then Kim took it into his own hands and tried running past our players for the line.WE ALLOWED that to happen and he got in a decent low cross to the near post.One of our centre backs should just knock it out for a corner but neither were well placed enough.That allowed the man from the far post who had left his man , Zaba, to run to the near post to connect with the ball.The rest is history and Joe as a bit unlucky after making an initial decent save.
Goal 2 was a mixture of 2 errors with Joe Hart's being the worst.He was too bothered with some goon standing right in front of him that he was late reacting to the cross and ended up[ flapping at thin air.That allowed Campbell , who again had lost Zaba, to power a shouldered goal.
Goal 3 was even more Zaba losing Campbell as he headed home a corner from a different side with effectively no challenge.
Based on that game I should put Campbell in my fantasy side but I won't because he is shit.

We had obvious problems that come along with changing systems, manager and playing staff. A lot of that adjustment period can be overcome with having a solid spine and a couple of leaders on the pitch. We lost our captain and Yaya decided, as he often does, that he didn't want to give 100%. Zabba had a rare mare which didn't help either.
We lost a leader when we lost Tevez, so basically we have no leader in that half of the park. Pelli needs to sort out which of Fernandinho and Yaya is going to mainly play in the oppo half and I'm hoping it's Yaya. That is where we really lost it IMO.
He better fucking sort it soon, but I'm quite confident he will.

Hart don't rule hes goalkeeper space , Garcia is not CB.We had one counter attack whole game .These is how u brake this side like Cardiff, when they have a ball u let them few pass then whole line press them,they make mistake u take ball counter and goal.We did not press them once . we play like it s a basketball. Our turn to attack, their turn to attack (then wait until they set up their wall so Yaya can touch ball 20754 times and pass it on closed side).And what is worse we had them, we score goal like rags from nothing .Then it was just to take ball ,keep ball until they come out and score few more. But no, one guy go past Yaya who watch him ,then Fernandhino think ahhh let Clichy finish this ,he let him go also.So three players are there but only Clichy defend and ball go in, Hart save, three our players there but nobody clear ball. That is had nothing with leader .That is overpaid lazy fuckers who thinks that we will win just because they come and they have names.Cardiff run more , wanna win more and that is whole story.After 1 0 if we give 80% we would win . but we drop from 50% on 30 % that is all .We let them score so they can go back to original plan with even more adrenalin and strength . I was thinking with new coach they will have flair to show how good the are, but some of them or all of them just play when they feel like it.I had a hole in my stomach yesterday from that game. If they play 100 % they would win and that is that .We need them to run and fight for every ball ,that is how u win. Fuck the quality of players if they watch guy run pass them. I was thiking of Barry a lot yesterday and how much guy work for some lazy ass, but fans don't see that until Cardiff put three in your net and Kolo why the fuck we let him go so we can have Garcia FFS!!!

what in the holy fuck does him being Asian have anything to do with it?
if i was standing on the sideline of one of my son's matches and a dad said to his son "Son, you let an Asian kid score against you" i'd probably kick the living shit out of him right then and there....
care to explain yourself?
cheers
What if the kids' Dad was built like a brick shit house?
I heard they don't have brick shithouses in Asia...

To me, they look too similar.
I would like to see how ferd gets on being told to sit more while yaya gets a couple of forward runs
