i think he moved the right way but he was takin by surprise since the ball came thru the hole created by mancity players in the wall. by then, it was already too late.
this defeat is quite damaging i think.. it shows that even if we can beat all members of the top 4, our away form (in THE AWAY kit is still worrying) and 2 defeats in a week. especially games against the title pretenders. matches like this make or break our season. even if we're sitting(not too comfortably) at the top with only 2 points. seriously, guys we cannot afford to do a liverpool or arsenal two seasons ago if we want to be champs.
somehow, i think we were getting complacent and overconfident. remember a week ago or so, JT came out and reportedly saying that the Blues are feeling invincible again? i guess this is a humbling defeat. i'd prefer if our captain and co. comes out in the press and focus on what's present rather than the future, progress rather than outcome. we certainly do not want to be labeled as a cocky,arrogant club like certain fans who keeps gloating bout their titles won even before they were born and as if they were part of the history.
it's really something for CA and the boys to think about. it's not bad times but certainly the potential to be in one is very dangerous. i hope they do come back stronger..
i forced myself to watch our game during the epl highlights show just now, and it must be said the freekick given against riccy was very very harsh. during the match itself i thought "what the hell were u doing riccy??!!" but upon closer inspection, tevez did appear to jump into his foot more than anything else. however, there can be no excuse for the big gap he left between himself and adebayor in the wall. u could see by his reaction that he knew he could've prevented the goal by being more aware.this defeat is quite damaging i think.. it shows that even if we can beat all members of the top 4, our away form (in THE AWAY kit is still worrying) and 2 defeats in a week. especially games against the title pretenders. matches like this make or break our season. even if we're sitting(not too comfortably) at the top with only 2 points. seriously, guys we cannot afford to do a liverpool or arsenal two seasons ago if we want to be champs.

a few things i'd like carlo to address :
1. cech's flapping at aerial balls
2. midfielders' lack of pressing
3. the obscene amount of back passes made by defenders to cech for him to clear, automatically gifting city back possession
4. our collective failure to show more initiative and ruthlessness in securing that all important second goal
5. his own misguided faith in keeping deco on for 90 mins. (sorry guys he should've been off at half time with the amount of times he was being brushed off the ball)
one thing we can all look forward too : Kakuta starting against apoel! carlo said he's the most likely youngster to given the nod for the first 11. the kind of news that cheers me right up!
