Please post anything to do with the upcoming tough match with Manchester City in this thread please. Any other thread on the subject will be merged into this thread.
This is the team. I'm only assuming Super Jonny is playing on the right, I don't know for sure. Sorensen Wilkinson-Shawcross-Collins-Wilson Walters-Whelan-Whitehead-Diao-Pugh Carew Subs Nash Faye Jones Shotton Delap Tonge Soares Backs to the wall stuff. It makes sense that we rest a few but we'll have to play better and keep the ball better than we did the other day.
Felt a bit sorry for your fans there tonight as you seemed to be going through the motions Nice touch at the end as both sets of supporters applauded each other
I thought first half we played ok, we just got undone by a very fine piece of football. We even played some decent stuff at times, we worked it well to the box but being without Jermaine and Matty we didn't have the quality to get the ball into the box. 2nd half after Richards dive, and Sorensen's comical goalkeeping that led to the 2nd goal, our heads seemed to drop and we played very poorly, Diao and Walters aside. Maybe we were still thinking about Saturday. The refereeing performance didn't help. 2 clear dives won you free kicks that led to goals, mind you you're a top 4 team so you'll be getting those sort of decisions. I remember one where Salif fouled Milner outside the box, Probert pointed to the spot and then gave a free kick.
undone by two great goals by tevez when he's like this he is unplayable.the free kick how much did that curl. Summed up well by SGT and Walters worked well again and salif looked comfortable on the ball.A difficult game just after the final but we move on and look to finish the season in style. Just shows what we are up against with the Physical presence of the Man City players and we just never created enough chances in both games.
