Lescott looked to be interfering more than Gouffran did when we had a goal disallowed against MCFC 2 months back.

Demichelis maybe the one that gets the kicking most often (albeit sometimes deservedly) but why on earth has Dzeko suddenly become so talented at elaborately missing sitters?

What else could Dzeko have done yesterday? Dummied it and waited for Boyce to slide on by?

If you watch the replay im not sure it was going in anyway has he hardly got any contact on it and just glanced it onto Boyce. It may well have gone wide to the left of the goal.

Dzeko should have scored, that's what he could have done yesterday.

Richards was fucking woeful yesterday. The amount of times Navas/Nasri/Yaya were looking for him to overlap on the right wing only for him to arrive 10 minutes later was ridiculous.

Aye he was terrible - as was Clichy at times - I have to say I think his City career is over. He's regressed so much since we won the title, it's almost unbelievable. Even on the rare occasions that he is fit to play, he looks like a shadow of the player he used to be.

To be honest he's always been good at missing sitters, he just didn't use to do them quite as often (or as close together) and generally made up for them.

Combination of injury and poor form, arguably as a result of the change in system under Pellegrini.

Yeah, I've watched that replay a few times now and impressive though it is that Boyce got into that position, I still can't see where he makes contact with the ball. To me it looks like it takes a bobble and then Dzeko shins it over the bar.

Nah, there's an angle which shows Dzeko hitting it as he should and it just hitting Boyce's foot as he wraps his leg round

I thought it was pretty clear that Dzeko gets there first but Boyce just gets his foot round in time to deflect it over the bar. If he wasn't there it would have gone in.

You will win easily today I reckon. With the poor recent form you'll be wanting to make a point/ be up for it more etc. Cant see you being as complacent as if you were in great form.

If Rosler sets up his team based on what Martinez did then we might have trouble.

When did we become such a negative team?

Playing not to lose rather than playing to win. Wigan have barely broken a sweat.

Is there any reason the FA didn't have the Club seats on the seats behind the camera rather than directly opposite, always looks terrible having the middle of the stadium half empty for much of the game

Getting Arteta out of it would be a good start.

We are absolutely atrocious. If we lose this Wenger can go. Ridiculous how much respect we've shown Wigan today rather than going and taking the initiative.
