I expected a heavy defeat, but I didn't expect us to be so undisciplined. A red card in the first game and bunch of players on a yellow.
City were fantastic though. I would have taken the 4-0 without the yellow and red cards.
Now we have two important home games coming up and we're short in defence and midfield. You just couldn't write this shower of ****.
Ratings -
Krul - 8 - Definitely MOTM. If it wasn't for him we'd have lost 7/8-0 and that would have been a fair reflection on this **** game.
Debuchy - 1 - Really can't believe this ****. Loses his composure so easily and gets a stupid yellow. That pathetic attempt at a slide tackle that allowed Nasri in. He could have got himself a straight red if he caught him, and we were already 3-0 down.
Colo - 5 - Didn't do a lot wrong, but just completely bum raped by Cities runs. Composed on the ball as usual.
Mbiwa - 4 - Some great defending at times, and his pace will come in handy, but could have been sent off in the first half. Loss of composure and discipline.
Saylor - 0 - Fat ****er.
Dummett - 6 - I was impressed. He made some great runs and showed promise in attack. Really did well against Navas at times. Some great blocks to keep out the crosses.
Sissoko - 4 - Some good runs but couldn't really do much to influence the game other than chase players around.
Jonas - n/a - Didn't do a lot wrong, had to do his job and stay back.
Tiote - 5 - Didn't have a bad game. Can't believe in a game like this he was one of the coolest heads. Some good interceptions and challenges. Lost the ball a few times, but other than that he was ok. Only shot on target.
Anita - 3 - Anonymous for most of his time on the pitch.
Ben Arfa - 5.5 - Was the only player on the pitch that ever threatened City. Showed some great skill but couldn't quite create.
Gouff - 3 - Worked his nutsack off when he was on, but couldn't really influence the play.
Cisse - 4.5 - Felt bad for him. Just no service at all. What can he do? Held the ball up well at times, put the ball in the box for no one.
Sammy - 4 - Some decent work.
MOTM - Krul.
Overall - ****.
