Hold up, you celebrate City getting to Wembley sober? Fook off Cheshire..you know what you are. CITY TILL I DIE.
Derby have beaten us 3 times this season , twice at our ground and scored 8 goals against us But we're going to Wembley , Again
That was painful....my Ohio friends have learnt some real Yorkshire language today!! The team looked knackered from the first minute....hopefully a rest will charge their batteries before Wembley.
Just got back. Absolutely awful performance. We looked nervous from the first minute, lots of sloppy passes. It was also surprising to see us time waste from minute 1 too.. For me, Bruce got it all wrong. He set us up to defend and hang on to the 3 away goals. We all know that just invites pressure. Whats the point? If we came out and played football tonight we'd have had a much more comfortable game, yes Derby might have scored but so would we and it wouldnt have been as nerve racking as it was. The positives................................................................. .............. ......... Surely we cant play that bad at Wembley. Bruce HAS to get it right and the players have to try to relax and enjoy the game. They did that at Derby (once the first goal went in) and what a team we are when we try to play properly.
They got what they deserved tonight a two goal victory. Unfortunately for Derby County it wasn't enough to get them to Wembley.
Screw going on the pitch after that shower. We are bloody lucky. Derby tore us to shreds. Play like that at Wembley and we're ****ed.
I think a manager with bigger balls would have hauled Diame off after 15 minutes, he might as well not have been on the pitch. Absolute agony to watch that game, how we got away with it was down to Meyler coming on and being Man of the Match. Maguire in for Dawson at Wembley too. How we have so many players who can't play two matches close together is beyond belief, I called this out last week and it nearly cost us again. Huddlestone was injured so fair enough. Feel like I've been in the ring with Rambo Billy for ten rounds
We tried to park the bus from the 1st minute but it didn't work. We sat far too deep from minute 1 and invited Derby to come on to us and gave them far too much space and time on the ball. Mindset was all wrong IMO - we should have gone into the game as if it was 0-0, thinking we had to win it. We might still have lost the game but we might have carried more of an attacking threat and it might not have been as nervy as it was. That was the most tense I have ever been at the KC - or anywhere watching City.
If Meyler wasn't on the bench we would have had it, anybody with half a braincell of football knowledge could see we were absolute run ragged in midfield, their number 8 and Hughes were laughing at our carthorses
After all is said and done though our players will be fully charged by May28th, I still would not play Diame again ever, I don't care if he is world class every now and then when he goes missing its like ten men on the pitch
