swansea vs city

savic and kolo in defence.

balotelli up front instead of aguero.

i'm already crying!

Hart
Richards, Savic, Toure, Clichy
Barry, De Jong
Nasri, Yaya, Silva
Balotelli.

Subs: Pantilimon, Milner,
Pizarro, Dzeko, Johnson, Kolarov, Aguero.

Savic is my biggest worry and anyone picking an injury up in defence, anyone know whats wrong with Lescott?? Think Yaya will play further forward... 15/2 for 1st goal just had a little punt £5...

lezza has an abductor injury - hopefully fit for thursday

Not sure what has happened here. No Lescott no Kompany.

We have somebody in Kolo that hasn't played an awful lot, paired with Savic who has been decidedly uneasy every time he has played.

Thanks god Micah is back and Clichy is at LB.

We need big games from Balotelli, Yaya, Nasri and Silva.

At least we have the likes of Aguero, Johnson and Milner on the bench.

Still - that team doesn't fill me with confidence defensively.

Ever the pessimist!

we need to have plenty of the ball and score early. savic and kolo shouldn't have much to do if we have 70% possession

Sorry Topdawg, we ain't gonna get 60% possession, let alone 70%!
THis is going to be a very tough game, we'll have to be on top form to win this game, it's all swansea for the 1st 10mins

We need to do what barca do when notin possession, swarm them, and pressure them into a mistake, otherwise we ain't gonna get a sniff at this rate

23 mins and we've hardly had a sniff, I hope Swansea blow themselves out, but we can't keep blazing shots when we get a chance as they're going to be a premium today, and I'm talking to you Mario!
I suspect Aguero will get on in the 2nd half when Swansea get tired, this could be a late 1-0 win for us if we are lucky.

well, bewar, you called the aguero change right. didn't expect it so early.

bad set up for me. no pressure on the swansea defenders at all. in fact, no real pressure until they got into the last 1/3.

far too often this season far too may players do not seem up for it. they expect others to do some magic and get us out of trouble. it doesn't always work that way. we need a team performance.

2nd half gotta be better...time for Mancini to earn his ££££ today! Must admit we looked better when Aguero come on, wish we would just put the ball in the box from corners not them short ones with all our defence forward and NO cross??

That was fucking woeful! Barry and NDJ just let them play!

Glad one of them is off for Aguero - not arsed which one as Mancini once again has started with a shit formation against a team known to play from the back - what does he do? Plays Balotelli on his own up front???? He's not known for his work rate FFS!!

Anyway - another fucking cheating dive for a penalty - i'd be in the ear of Mason telling him "you owe us one you bald headed cunt". Not sure that would get the desired effect - but you get what i mean!

Savic and Kolo look suspect whenever they get near our box. Micah has been non-existant - time to play them at their own game and start bombing forward - as their defence is pretty shite and i'm sure we can exploit them as soon as Silva gets his fucking boots on - never saw him make so many shit passes!

Woeful - but surely must get better with the twats down the road winning!

I hope mancini gives them a right kick up the arse ... After that shocking game in portugal we come to this... Do they really want the title? Because the rags are busting their guts while we cant be botheted to press average swansea players...

Silva has been fucking shite today!!

Cant see us scoring, its swanseas cup final and we are playing shit, balotelli not working hard enough and becoming a liability. Level on points with the rags it is...

still not over - the way its going we'll concede a shit goal

dzeko to save us?

ffs mancini, get dzeko on before balo gets sent off!!

nasri is fucking wank!!

we have been utter wank again

johnson...with 10 t go......come on city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont get me started on nasri.

Didnt see that coming at all...

SAVIC IS THE BIGGEST CUNT IVE EVER SEEN WEAR A CITY SHIRT!! WHEN DOES MANCINI REALISE THIS????????????????????

YOUNG - BUT STILL SHIT AND A CUNT!!!!!!!!!!!

fucking disgraceful player Savic (lost us a goal every time he has played)............disgraceful performance, disgraceful all round Mancini........... get your shit together manicni......coz this is unacceptable!!

Well Rags are top now, as we always worried, city are handing it to them or was Savic put in as a ringer? Can't believe one man could cost us the game every single time he plays.
In my life as a city supporter i have never seen such a liability to one team.

And we have the more difficult run in, so how do we win it now? I suppose 2nd is more progress after 3rd last year.

that corner in the last minute said it all............a short one?

mancini - if you dont bitch slap the likes of Nasri, Savic and Silva after their performances - then you may as well leave.

Silva - though great all season, must have had one of his worst performances as a footballer....hardly saw him make a pass completion!

Savic - the kid can fuck right off now....never, ever want to see him in a City shirt again. He's personally lost us 9 points this season so far - in 4 fucking games!!!!!!!!! And please - don't give me this 'young' shit....he's wank - simple as.

Nasri - i think after nearly a whole season - we must concede that he isn't a City player. The odd flash of great amongst a whole bunch of fucking garbage is all he has produced. Sell him come the summer - and lets get some of the likes of Roman, Suarez etc to replace him - coz he is fucking useless.

Mancini needs to take most of the responsibility for this - shit selection, waited too long in the second half to switch it around - it was almost like Richards was restricted to go forward until the last 10 minutes.

All round awful performance - and if they don't get their shit together after that wank performance mid-week........we may end up with fuck all and a new manager in the summer.

I hate to say it - but this is where Tevez will have to make an impact - as we are just stuttering again at the wrong time.

Kompany and Lescott - get your shit together and get back ASAP!!!

mancini has had the money to spend, and lots of it, so he can't bitch about anything.

was this a game for milner or pizzaro? i think so. we needed real grafters today because we still had that magic in us.

i won't blame savic totally for the goal. yes, he lost the ball, but we had plenty of men back but we were all over the fucking place.

Yes Dawg.........but it was Savic who lost his marker for the goal - TWO FUCKING MISTAKES!!!!!!!!!!

fair point BB, i did switch off as the ball was going in as i was so pissed off. it was coming all game.

mancini is fucked now. he hasn't got the money to spend and he has some players who just aren't good enough when we are in trouble like today.

tough shit - no-one will feel sorry for him - i dont. its his team... FFS!!

Too gutted to say much at the moment & there will be too many expletives !!!

We will have to beat the rags at ours now !!!

TMG - i always felt that we would go into that game 2nd in the table.

let's just hope that we are max 3 points behind.

ON THIS SHOWING - IT'LL BE IRRELEVANT COME THAT GAME!!

i just think the players were wank today - simple as that......nobody did anything for the team...and thats shameful.

united - for all we say, play for the shirt

i don't like losing, but accept that this happens. it is the manner of the defeat that has pissed me off.

how the hell can teams like swansea, wba, sunderland stop us from scoring?

attitude

i said many months ago, if utd had our squad they'd be miles ahead by now

We have to be honest. This is not the team that we saw before xmas,same players, totally different attitude.Maybe the pressure is getting to them,but if it is they should not be in the team.As previously stated the rags play for the shirt.Their team have not got half the experience that we have,but they still manage to get the results,and they never give up until the last whistle,apart from last Thursday night.Today was a real letdown for all the fans and we still have some more hard games to come,the rags have an easier run in than we do,we could end up with nothing!!

just pathetic...simple as...

I don't think we should be so surprised by Swansea, not many teams go there and win.
mancini should have changed it after 10mins not 37
He did however say, hat United are the better team, because of the experience in these situations, he did warn us, and the players, but it seems they weren't at the races today.

Complacency? maybe, being in pole position for the majority of the season may have let at complacent attitude in by the back door! But, now we've had a really rude awakening, it could either be the slap across the face we needed, that galvanises the team into a more ruthless attitude, or we fall apart Spurs style

Whatever, it ain't over yet, if we both keep winning, Utd will come to ours needing just a draw, we will be needing a win to reverse the situation, now we are chasing...
If we don't win this year, the experience will be priceless for next year, and if reports of RVP etc, then it bodes well, but like I say, it ain't over yet......
it's just getting started!

one of the worst performances of the season



bring back Carlos all is forgiven!!

Sell that cunt balotelli he will never change, ibra's attitude but stupid, my question is why play like cunts for 85 minutes, let in a goal and only then start to care. We needed to win these stupid footballers didnt realise this fron the start.

Need to calm down, still pied off. I will avoid blogs and the c word usage.
