I hadn't actually seen those penalties until the .gifs on the previous page but fucking hell they were closer to finding the net at the Etihad.

Great finish from Borini. Shocking defending from City.

Look at all the empty seats in the corporate bit. Not a big fan of new Wembley.

This is not going well. Lot of poor performances on our part.

Was Poyet riding an invisible treadmill for his goal celebration?

The amount of undeserved criticism and hate that Demichelis gets from the media and fans is fucking ridiculous.

Also, Yaya meant to cross that but who cares \o/

Saw on twitter earlier;

If Kompany belted one into his own net from 30 yards, Demichelis would get the blame for not offering a passing option.

I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

Kompany was woeful for the 1st goal yet for some reason Demichelis gets crucified (Just like Barca, where RVD was actually one of our best players). Rob Van Demichelis also made a few vital defensive headers from corners that were just brushed aside.

The Guardian ratings actually mentioned that Demichelis played Borini onside and Kompany saved his bacon that time, wasn't Borini offside?

Demichelles was shit for the first goal though, even if Kompany was too.

He's shite, no point defending him.

He was

If he runs back with a bit of conviction instead of jogging like a lazy cunt he might have made a tackle. Borini also runs straight past him which means Kompany has to come across and cover.

His lack of pace is outstanding, especially as he seems to love pushing up to near the half way line.

He's nowhere near good enough for a team like Man City. The definite weak link of their first XI.

He was jogging back because like everybody else, he was expecting Kompnay to hold him up and then he was in the perfect position to intervene if Borini turned back inside. Kompany decided to just go all out and try to do something which was never going to work.

With 2 CB's against 1 striker, it's expected that one will be covering the other so that point isn't really valid.

He was outstanding against Barcelona until Kompany decided to just hang out 5 yards behind the defensive line, so to say he's nowhere near good enough for City is just wrong

Well if you're happy to have him then that's fair enough.

I don't think he'd get in any other side in the top 4 though, and that's with Liverpool there.

He certainly wouldn't get into Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Dortmund or PSG's side either - which is the level City should be competing at.
