Pretty disappointed in the game last night. We were well beaten. Didn't put forward much threat until the end of the game when the points were already lost. Last season at the Etihad, we lost but deserved to win. This time, we were outclassed all over the pitch.
However, I'm not worried about it. That game is gone. Being honest, I expected the loss. Coming so soon into the new season is ridiculous, and gave Man City a massive advantage with that fixture. Firstly, it is a Home game for them. Secondly, after Suarez's ridiculous WC antics, we were going to be without him regardless of whether or not he was sold! We had a lot of new transfers to bed in, and these will take time to get going. Man City on the other hand have a fairly settled team, and only needed to strengthen a few areas over the Summer.
Moving forward now, we will only get better. Our defence is going to be a lot stronger, and with Balotelli up front with Sturridge, we have goals in the team. Markovic looked superb when he came on too.
Not worried at all. All this talk of our title aspirations, whether or not we finish top 4 etc is crazy. We lost at the Etihad last season too, and look what happened!!
