That was bloody brilliant.

Bonuses to come, Shirley.

Captain Yaya, I love you.

Nice to see City not chopping and changing all over. Fak u Mancini. (4-2-2-2): Hart; Zabaleta, Nastasic, Lescott, Kolarov; Fernandinho, Toure; Navas, Silva; Dzeko, Aguero.

Krul doesn't drop stuff man.

I am please with how this went. Good teamwork lads.

Rough surfaces underfoot?

If I get more than 40 points this week I'll be delighted. Not even sure I'll have 11 playing, but don't want to use the wildcard before the window shuts.

Santon's defending was outstanding against West Ham.

Would have been massively behind this but think we've missed the boat. They've just brought in a striker on loan from Ligue 1 yesterday.

Today's the day, lads.

Tapatalk is totes fixed like. Gerrin.

buh?

Today's the day, lads.

Trolls be trolling.

Moussa wide?

Wasn't Allardyce happy to sell Shola when he was managing here?

Still hope he stays. The World Cup at the end of the season should be enough motivation to see him attempting to get back to his best and not sulking about the place.

Today's the day lads.

At least the fitness was there, which hasn't always been the case in the past even against lower league opposition. They tired badly around the hour mark and we took advantage, so we produced about the minimum you have to look for in these sorts of games.

He said hats were shit I think.

Phwoar.

tbf due to not getting players in the box the oppo can usually press high against us meaning the full back gets closed down quickly. That's why it's not a great tactic to sit so deep and use the long ball as an out. If we encouraged forward movement and passed the ball quicker in possession like the better teams I think we could do much better. Just think back to what Keegan did to the side we were struggling with under Allardyce. Was saying this to my brother earlier, although I was stressing how look it actually took KK to get us sorted out and looking fluid again. It feels to me like we're at as low an ebb as we were under Allardyce and I personally can't see a quick way out of it, especially without a change of manager. We're not just going to flick a switch and starting playing great all of a sudden, everyone's confidence is on the floor. This is an interesting thread by the way and the wide areas are definitely one of our major problems.
