Muamba was under enormous pressure from a high-class midfield and strikers. He won't get that outside of the top four. His commitment is total and I didn't see much wrong he did today. Make some allowance for the opposition being bought top-class mercenaries. Did you comment on his goal last week or does that not count?

It's disapointing to have City's £100mil attack turn up and then gift them goals, but shit happens. It was more disapointing that we created next to nothing, and only ever looked like creating anything for a brief period when Mark Davies came on.

I know, I know, we've got 6 in 2, but I think the fact that we're scoring just about every chance we make is papering over the cracks a bit. We were very poor for periods today where we had six defenders and four attackers, with nothing in between. It's not playing to the strengths of Davies and especially Klasnic to have them coming deep to try and get involved. City are a good side, but it was the same against QPR until they fell apart.

On the positive side though, Davies and Cahill were excellent.

Reo-Coker our best signing since Anelka? Really?

A neutral fan expressed an opinion of one of our players that reflected my own.

I hope this goes some way to alleviating any fears you may have of Utd fans taking over your mind.

The neutral fan clearly can read a game of football better than a lot on here.

Muamba played well in difficult circumstances, pass completion of 68% which is not too bad and he worked hard to press City. Against lesser sides, I think he will make well for Pratley or Mark Davies!

Zat did play well y'know. It says a lot that we kept their attacking threat quiet by and large. But he is still a mistake-a-game player, and his mistakes invariably, like today cost goals

The problem with Knight is, too much of his defending is last ditch.

Are you suggesting we move him to midfield?

I'd suggest right back

Right back in fecking Euxton

Ultimately a defenders job is to prevent goals. If you make a howler and gift the opposition a goal as a centre half, then you in no way have had a good game, irrespective of owt else!

Err - there's an argument that the back line was stepping up for an offside.

Only someone didn't.

And it wasn't Knight.

Just drop him.

And you can argue that Silvas shot moved slightly in the air.

But it's still bollocks, Knight made a complete meal of trying to clear the ball as usual then was too slow to get back into a position to stop Dzeko!

I really don't understand why everyone's picking.

And yes, Paul robinson was out of position.

But City players also made mistakes. And they're worth £10000000000000000000000000000m more than ours. And beat us by a goal.
