Remember writing the post below when we lost to Blackburn and got slated for it on here. You only have to look at his record at other clubs to see he is a misfit. What Mike Pollit has done wrong is beyond me!
“Where the hell have we pulled this fella out from? Must be the worst keeper we have had since Paladino. Yes we were poor tonight but its hard to have confidence in your keeper when he is coming and missing every cross, kicking into touch and not communicating with the back four in any way. Its a disgrace if he plays Saturday”.
Gohouri and Scotland on…. Rodallega and moreno off…. We were only 2-0 down!
I was very pi**ed off but now I have to laugh. It is a joke.
Get a reality check James! Nine minutes left, two goals behind, down to nine men, and City constantly on the attack. Why risk tiring Moreno and Rodallega out on the hopeless cause, when they’ll be more use in other games? Gahouri will be needed for the next two games, so he needed time on the pitch. (Must say, he looks bl00dy quick)
Spot on Standish, Moreno and Hugo ran their socks off for the majority of the game and up until the sending off we were on top (stats don’t lie)!
It was unlucky, we were done by the ref again, not the 1st or last time it will happen.
We have to accept the defeat although it’s hard to take and credit to the players who, after going down to 10 were still on top for a short while before the quality City have (hundreds of millions worth of players) shone through.

Yes, I agree. I wasn’t expecting anything from that game and until the sending off I was pleased with the performance and the way we were set up. By the time of the substitutions Roberto was, in my view, correctly thinking off the next games so, to me, the substitutions made sense.
Thought we played very well last night, after a dodgy first 10 mins. For long spells in that game, it looked like we could get a point, and possibly nick a goal. 3-0 does look like a bit of a pasting, but I thought we showed what we are capable of last night. As for the keeper, great save from Tevez first half, but that attempt for the first goal was just embarrasing….hope he apologised to the team for an awful error which ruined all their good work.
It was a poor error by the keeper last night, this shouldn’t mean that we all decide he’s cak and shouldn’t play for us again, when a keeper makes a mistake it generally costs you a goal, when a striker makes a mistake we say good effort and better luck next time(for a while anyway). I think he was expecting a free kick for the high foot coming towards him, in Europe it would have been probably, he’ll have to get to grips with our game, claim everything and leave the awarding of free kicks to the ref.
He seems a good reflex shot stopper as we saw in the first half last night & in his other games too
Give him some time to think about what he needs to do however & he invariably ends up making a complete hash of things & he seems completely unable or unwilling to catch the ball
the mistake for the first goal was inexcusable last night. Its like a striker opting to leave a ball going across goal coz he thinks he’s going to get fouled

The keeper…..yes, I’ll agree, he is pish.[/quote]
To be honest SW… I completely agree with all of the statement you made. I retract my statement and think that I put it for the pure fact that I was very p*ssed off. Also I would have like to see a goal and after the subs we had no chance …. For the record I believe the subs made sense and have no problem with the decision to make them :geek:
