was so dissapointing, we all saw bristol give it there all, newport chas every ball down, close every man on the ball down...
we stood back and watched kompany play the ball around the back, he even stood still for a while and then strolled it out and pass and pass and pass it around... dont get me wrong yes its man city, but should not matter if its barcelona or barry island... it was shocking, 32k odd fans paid good money and want there team to at least have a go...
a lad by me said lets get beat 5 or 6 nil but lets have a go and give the fans something to shout about
i dont get chance to get down the city much these days, work and lack of finance... but wow i would have loved to have seen us put a shift in today...
I think the team gave what they had today - we tried to mark man-for-man first half and got taken apart. We reverted to a more compact shape second half and had a bit more control but didn't have enough to put one of the best teams in the world under pressure. It happens and everyone was expecting it.
Kompany playing the ball around at the back just brought memories of the Prem flooding back, and why I hated it so much. I don't care how clever it is, it's ****ing boring to watch and if the rest of the Prem adopt that as the blueprint for success then I'd prefer we didn't get promoted. I don't want to watch robots, no matter how good they are.
We were poor all around. I was hoping a full house, spirited performance, cracking atmosphere would put a few on the gate for Bristol. We didn't even get 2 out of 3. Shame but not the end of the world I suppose.
Thank God they weren't even trying in the second half. Man City that is not Cardiff City!
Different class, so much movement, such acceleration, played in 1st gear for the 2nd half but feck me how boring (some will say patient) were they for long spells.
Thought Bernardo Silva (sp?) was the class on the field.
