Every time Carroll losses the ball it takes him a second to react, instead of just getting the ball back.

We let them be typical Stoke that half. I don't even know what to say. This is so shit.

What were we doing this whole half, and the the last ten minutes. Gash. Really fucking terrible.

Just terrible.

Gah, we should totally have three points from this.

Looking fresh, but this should've been happening the whole second half. Kind of okay with Shola coming on here.

Was always going to happen.

We need to sort this out quickly.

As they have with pretty much everyone else too. I have more confidence in Ben Arfa making something happen after being quiet all day than Routledge or Nolan.

Poop

Routledge please.

Totally deserved. Well done guys.

Good bloody call!

Barton is so good.

We need a sexy Ben Arfa run.

God we look so much better than them. If we could just crack that final line of defense.

Look great so far.

:lol:

Think it's because the same feed is being broadcast in America as well. But, he didn't commentate like this for World Cup, so, I don't know. Its only for america by the sound of it, talking in dollars all the time and almost insultingly dumbing it down for the viewers Pretty ridiculous. As anyone who's getting up at 4:45-7:45 in the morning in America to watch this game is already going to know these things.

Good work by Tevez.

Typical.

But Chelsea are playing the exact same formation! With much better players and a better manager. Many would argue that Man City's midfield is the equal if not better than Chelsea. The real problem for City is their defence not being completely solid, and the attacking three being one dimensional. They've let up, what, 2 goals in the Prem? Don't think their defense is the problem. Their attack wouldn't be one dimensional if they decided to play two strikers, giving someone for Tevez to play off of. Chelsea are using the same formation because they have the players for it, Man City do not. Hence why one team is successful and the other is bland and losing to Sunderland.

It sucks that team that could be excited as Man City are stuck with an Italian manager who plays three defensive midfielders.
