But couldn't you say the same about Liverpool and United that failed to win at certain clubs much smaller than City? We don't have to beat Liverpool or United to finish above them now do we? Would it help well yes, but it wouldn't be essential.
City haven't got a sixteen point lead by struggling against the opposition, they have an advantage over all of the PL by spending three quarters of a billion pounds on players and as four times as much as anyone else on contracts.
They should in fairness be running over every team and some.
It is weird there is one or two who we don't see in here only when we lose a game. Individual circumstances...
Messi and his crew may have an issue with that?
Good post.
I just thought City were much better and that was a real surprise on the night.
Not because they shouldn't be or aren't but more because of recent results for both clubs.
We just need a bit though in my opinion.
Somebody who can stretch teams and who has that eye for goal and an unspecified type in the middle of the park.
An upgrade at left back? I think maybe just a better combined option than Davies and Rose, who can fcuk off as far as I am concerned.
But perspective is needed.
We are not world beaters and really neither should we be.
The question is what does Pochettino see as key.

You pays your money and makes your choice! It doesn't bother me in the slightest what people do. Personally I have never left a game early in my life but that's as much as me being a tight git wanting to get as much value out of my ticket as possible. It did amuse me that sissoko coming on was the cue for a lot of people to head for the exits
A few other opinions on the game:
Was kind of expecting a citeh backlash and not surprised it arrived, yes we were poor for the first 25 minutes but they are a high class outfit and will be worthy champions.
As for Walker I booed his first couple of touches but that is it, I have moved on, he put in some decent performances for us over the years and to be fair he did not particularly celebrate any of their goals or the win. Though I genuinely think he is past his best as a full back!
I thought Poch nailed it with his post match interview, disappointing but we are not quite at their level yet.
I cannot fathom the grief for Trippier on this board. I thought he was class and has learnt/improved so much from the last time we played them.
Looking forward to seeing more of Lucas.
As the squad continues to evolve and improve we are getting close to the stage where the keeper will be the weakest link!!!!

Agreed, it boils my piss when people criticise those that go, whilst sitting in the comfort of their favourite armchair.. It can be a nightmare for some getting the last train connection home. Evening games at Wembley are difficult for those who live further out.
Then you get people moaning about the atmosphere, nothing is stopping them buying a ticket and showing everyone how it's done.
Forget all the detail-Yes losing always hurts but on this occasion, it felt different. Because we have move on so far from where we were just a few years ago and the season we are having , to perform in that manner is disappointing. Taking nothing away form City, they are an excellent side. It was the manner in which we played, thats not us, is it? Maybe the Semi is on the horizon and lets hope unlike Woolwich today we ease up. Chelsea are only 7 behind.
I didn't boo Walker but neither did I applaud when his name was read out. He's an ex-Sheffield United and current Citeh player as far as I'm concerned. In a year or two I reckon he'll be at someone like Everton or Newcastle.
Anyone complaining about the atmosphere last night should tune in to the match taking place at old Trafford just now.
Im sure I just heard two fans discussing their respective Sunday lunches.
Wembley was fucking rocking compared to this shite!

It bloody wasn't! Parts of the West Stand Upper were like a ghost town! But yes, fewer left that night than last night!
They were more likely discussing Pep's Handicap!
(My first, and last ever Golfing reference!!)
Not sure what I'm more shocked at, leaving with ONLY 4 mins to go, or your ever so slightly stupid over reaction...
(BTW I stayed till the final whistle)
Good for you. You must be one of them true fans. Call it over-reacting if you like, I say it how I find it. It just pisses me off when I read shit on here that fans should be ashamed of themselves for leaving 10 mins early in that game, and aren't proper supporters.
Calm down mate.
Thanks, appreciate the thoughts.
Can see my earlier comments as a bit OTT - was annoyed! But, seriously, learning to unpick the lock on the big teams in some of these crunch games must be the next step.
I think he's gone, so we need to move on. I was just disappointed that we seemed to lack any real fight and that we didn't really give them a game. The highlight of yesterday was high-fiving Micky Hazard before the game!!
Just to be clear, some of the fans that left the Juve game were somones dad who had been going for 55 years......yet you just called them a disgrace.
Dont fall climbing off that fucking high horse of yours
Haha! Nice try. Completely different set of circumstances as you well know.Just to be clear, some of the fans that left the Juve game were somones dad who had been going for 55 years......yet you just called them a disgrace.
