Utd controlled the game but could not force a winner, City showed zero ambition which frankly I just can't understand as the home side.


Listening to Mancini after the match it seemed clear that last seasons 3 injury time defeats had a huge effect on the mentalilty of the team. At times tonight they appeared to be almost waiting for the inevitable winner from United. The fact that we kept a clean sheet (when did we last do that against United?) will probably be seen as a step forward.

We're 4 points clear of 5th, 5 points ahead of Spurs & Liverpool. That's not too bad at this stage of the season.

I suspect Joey Barton may be missing a few games for Newcastle.

He's totally changed.

He'd have smacked him in the head and then stamped on him in the past.

If you think it's a step forward (and I'm not sure you do), then good luck to you. You and Mancini will be on your own.

We play like that every week. No ambition. No entertainment. Utter, utter crap. They were there for the taking and we didn't want to know. Pathetic!

I have been disgusted by many City performances of late. That topped the lot. :(

Another classic interview with Holloway on 5Live. Can managers get away with calling their interviewers "pillocks" ?

I think it may be a step forward in the sense of exorcising a few demons. We might not be as jittery next time.

:lol: I love him.

But he's clearly unhinged. He's going to end up being sectioned if he keeps managing in the PL for long.

As I said, we play like that every week.

We show no ambition to win games of football. It cost us a Champions League spot last year and it will do so again.

Yeah cause liverpool and tottenham are picking up point for fun arent they :? some city fans are unreal you was moaning under hughes wernt you when we won games 4-3 then got beat the week after 3-0. Were 4th in the league with our best football too come need to get a grip of realism and realise we aint going too batter everybody every week. Id rather watch boring football and finish top 4 than watch entertaining football and finish 7/8
