City seem to start off very slowly in a game. We saw it last season and it looks like it's the same so far. Half an hour of pummelling in the Chelsea game - yes, OK, it was Chelsea, etc., and we didn't have Thud and Livers on the pitch - and Norwich almost did it against us at the start of yesterday's game, until we slowly came on to the pace. Does anyone else feel that this is the case? And do you feel we can improve on it (I reckon SB is well aware of it).
Don't get your meaning? We outplayed Norwich the whole afternoon, passed them off the park and frustrated their attempts to get back into the game. They couldn't get the better of us even when we went down to 10 men. I see on Sky their manger bleating about the penalty decision.
I agree with that, so far, but we didn't gel in the beginning yesterday. I think we'll see it again, against Man City. Against Cardiff, I can see it as being disastrous.
