Noone shielding our defenders from Tevez... Tiote got across there eventually, but if we give them that much time and space they'll take us apart.

Enrique good run and cross. They're not great at dealing with crosses. If Nolan had hung back a little more there he could have attacked the ball and scored.

 

 

Agree that our bench looks weak. Outside of the inexperienced Ranger not much at all.

We need a goal straight after the restart if we are going to get anything out of this. We have been the better team, and it has just been two mistakes that we have paid for.

 

Bearing in mind De Jong broke Ben Arfa's leg in the last fixture between us and City the Ref is being very lax when the City players are diving in..

A lot to take from the first half. First thing being, don't fucking give away the ball deep in our half, but anyway. Key will be getting the ball into Carroll in the box. Outside the box they're all over him but in the box they're afraid of getting too physical. He's winning just about anything physical or not, but the communication channel between him and Nolan is broken. The onus is definitely on Nolan though because Carroll's doing his best to win everything. Nolan should be the perfect player in those sort of circumstances but he looks a yard too slow for the general pace of this game.

 

With our defensive line pushing so high I'm worried that they'll get a ball over or through. Taylor and Coloccini are slow so won't be able to recover, and with them not playing much together this season and having different native languages communication won't be the greatest.

 

de jong the cunt is hiding out there like a cat in a kennel house.

Routledge desperately unlucky to be subbed out. Nolan's been weak, but offers the chance of goals.

 

Ranger on is good though. Already turned Lescott and drawn a yellow.
