Did you actually go to the game though ?. If not I would prefer to take the viewpoint of someone who did. Also most people, including TV pundits, reviewing the game have actually been quite complimentary about the way City played, especially in the first half, so your view appears rather at odds with all this for some reason. On a number of occasions Tony Cottee stated that we 'were well in the game' at 2-1 down.
