You realise Rose was probably our best player tonight? Plus, Capoue is most likely off; Daniel wants the moolah.
Plus Kaboul will most likely snap his cruciate getting into the bath.
Just thought I'd cheer you up.
Completely agree. The main difference is not the technical quality of the players but this:
When City have the ball, their players not in possession run into space to receive a pass.
When we have the ball, our players stand still.

It's the only reason I can think of.

What's pains me more than the result is that we will never get near the man city and Chelsea's who can buy who they want. We have to sell the best player of a generation to compete. Granted we bought poorly. But still we just don't have the buying power. This league will go the same way as they Spanish league

Not really. We're two points better off than we were at this stage last year. Liverpool and Everton have more points than at this stage last year too (liverpool have 12 more). So it's nothing to do with the others keeping us in the race.

The linesman was a total disgrace tonight.
At 1-0 down with 11 men I thought we could get something from the game, unfortunately I forgot how inept the linesman was

It has been for long, no matter if tonight would've been just 0-1 climbing up the difference would've been too much of a task on gd department.

Football's a funny old game, Misfit, me old mucker. I do agree that City were clearly the most likely to win, however, things could have gone so differently. We could have held on to a point had that Dawson goal been allowed, or even grabbed an equaliser if the red card had not have happened. I do think that the red card was the proverbial nail in the coffin, and without that decision we could've got something despite playing poorly. You can still play awfully yet grind out a result. Seen plenty of teams do that over the years.
Nonetheless, I think we'll go on to get a good result against Hull on the weekend. I hope the FA sees sense and rescinds Rose's card. To ban him for that would be criminal.

A) where did I lambast AVB; and
B) AVB did set the team up with a fundamentally different philosophy, which I must admit, in my view, was not suited to the premier league but that is not relevant to this game at all

That been reality for a least 20 years, maybe longer.
We lost - thats all.
Thought we gave it our all - no complaints. (other than the linesman)

Positive of the night for me was Eriksen's set pieces. We've been utterly shit at these for years and it always felt as though our most recent managers probably weren't even making us practice them in training. If that's something that changing under Tim, in conjunction with Eriksen's prowess in that area it's definitely a major plus point for the future. In other seasons it could well have made the difference between CL and Europa qualification. Probably not this season mind...

French international Capoue should be ahead of a 19 yr old, without question!.
Chadli should be ahead of Siggy, granted there's not a lot in it but Nacer gets in for me..
When Dembele went off Holtby should have come on replacing attack minded with attack minded, when Capoue came on we had two cm who are more defence minded, and we were behind!
Rose is average at best but he's a better LW than he is a LB, we need that position sorting out and its needed sorting since last summer.
Walkers poor decision making at vital times still amazes me for someone who looked so promising a couple of years ago..
I am really concerned about how the club is going. I can see us on a slippery slope if we stay as we are.

Didn't see the match but judging by all the comments from the sky panel yeah. He kept saying during the first half that we could be 5/6/7 down. Then the stats had 21 shots to our 3 so I certainly don't think we can complain.
Depressing of course.
Agreed. Only way to get 4th is to continue to stay in contact with Liverpool, Everton and United and hope that we pick up points where they drop, and to pick up 3 points against Liverpool and Everton.

Maybe he was thinking that Eriksen would start on Saturday at Hull despite the poor performance and so not risking an injury in the last 10 mins with the game out of sight. That's all I can think of. I didn't disagree with your initial post, I just thought there were a few candidates in front of Eriksen in the queue to get dragged. Namely Siggy and Lennon (who seems to keep disappearing in the big games - barring United)
