I'd love to moan more about the loss, disallowed goal, dodgy penalty decision, but I can't really, City could/should have been 2 or 3 up by that point.
We allowed them to much space in the center of the park, our creative men saw too little of the ball, even before we were down to ten men. And Chiriches though good on the ball, heaped pressure on himself and the rest of the defence with his constant, beat one man, bring the ball out of the back, hold onto ball, hold onto ball, get closed down, lose the ball as the opposition harry him, fall over and look for the referee to award him a foul.
Wonder if Rose's straight red will be rescinded as he's gone for three games? in light of the fact he got the fucking ball...
Adebayor was a handful all night, bentaleb looked out of his depth, Capoue came on wanting to make an impression and left one on a city player, and was lucky not to get his marching orders as well.. Siggurdson off the pace, and walker in his attempts to get upfield left the rest of the defence exposed when he coudn't/wouldn't track back..
But fair play to City, they exposed us ruthlessly, and didn't let up, thought when we got back to 3-1 we had a chance to keep it respectable if City had taken their foot off the gas, but they just kept looking for goals, and hitting us quickly as we looked to score.
Got to get back to winning ways against hull, and tom terrific will be up for that game. Difficult one..
