Oh yes, what a numpty I am. I meant start with Hernandez and Niasse, was just a preference for me, that's all.

Ah. Well I think the conservative approach was the right way to go, playing openly against Man City is never a good idea and we are nowhere near good enough to defend from the front against them. At home it's better because the away team are the ones trying not to concede.
 
That wasn't Robbo's fault at all today. They had set up with Navas as a wing back really, overlapping constantly with Sterling cutting inside. Robbo has to focus on Sterling and Grosicki didn't do a good enough job tracking back with Navas.

It was certainly planned effectively by Man City and was not countered throughout the match. It was a major left side weakness.
With better finishing Man City could have had at least 6.

a -2 goal deficit against Man Citeh aint a bad result at all, at 3-0 and 20 mins left I feared the worst, but credit to the lads for digging in and getting a goal back.... My thoughts are if we stay up (the great escape is still in our hands) and Silva remains, I think games like these next season could be a much closer affair. As I said earlier Clucas remains available now due to astute managing, Thudd is back for the next game, McGuire will hopefully be fit, Swansea lose, Boro draw without scoring again, so all we need is Manure to turn over Slumberland and all is good. My only gripe is the right back position, Elmo isn`t a right back as long as I`ve got a hole in me arse, I don`t know what the issue is with Al Dabby Dabby Doo, but when Meyler played right back earlier this season he did a great job, plus he seems to enjoy the physical side of things, something that Elmo is badly lacking. Might be worth putting Meyler in at right back to shore things up a bit. Dare to dream Tiger Army, we`re still in this fighting.
Yep, agree, although frustrated that two goals crap and possibly avoidable, if it weren't for Jak could have been more costly and an embarrassment.

Think the disappearance of Al Dabby Dabby Doo coincided with the reports of him having his Dabby Doo where he shouldn't have, on t'internet!
