Does all this matter. City will just out gun you regardless.. City are a Very good side and tonight, the ref messed up and we struggled big time ( again) against a big side.He jumped for it though - he was interfering. The linesman made two mistakes: not giving Ade offside and giving Dawson offside. The penalty was a close call, but rose definitely got dzeko's heel before the ball. Very harsh to be sent off for that though. Sendings off should be reserved for preventing a certain goal and cynical fouls to prevent goal scoring opportunities, rather than genuine attempts to get the ball.
lol I do and that is up there with the biggest pile of shit i've read (concerning spurs at least)

we just don't bother turning up for first halves anymore do we.
Since the start of the 2012-2013 season our PL GD is +19. Our first half goal differential during that period is -1. It's been a long standing problem. I don't get it.
We were basically a man down at the start. Siggy did absolutely nothing as per usual. Every now and then he pips in a goal and then people forget how invisible he is for most of the game on the left. He is best as a number 10 but will not get minutes there when Eriksen is fit.
Under villas boas we actively setup to try to keep the game tight for the first 45-60 minutes, apart from a few notable exceptions we had the defensive discipline to pull it off. It wasn't pretty or exciting, but we had a plan.
Now we seem somewhere stuck between starting games with the same slow attacking play but with the mentality that we should be trying to commit men forward earlier in games. The result is being poor at both ends for the opening periods of matches rather than just offensively. Sherwood seems to be able to reorganise at half time, but that's only just working now IMO, he needs to find a way to get us out there playing from the 1st minute.
The whole reason we bought Siggy was because of what he did as a number 10 at Swansea and Hoffenheim. That is where is value is, and he likely won't get an extended run there with this team. Playing him on the left limits our width, and forces Rose to provide it, leaving space on counters.I agree with all of this except the No 10 part. For as useless as he is as a winger, he's even worse as a No 10. Doesn't score goals or create them in that position, and that is essential from the No 10. We have GOT to bring in a better LW before Friday if we want any chance of staying in the race with 'Pool and Man U.
