How many good chances did we create?
3 goals, Knights block, wrongly disallowed goal, Tevez chance, AJ just wide...
Boring Boring City...

Didnt see Silva being blown over, just roughly tackled by an oaf

Davies fouls all over the field and goes down at the slightest touch himself especially on the edge of the box or inside if he can get away with it, he conned the ref several times and thats his game. The good goal he scored came from one of his faux fouls on the edge of the box when he went down as if he had been pole axed. He waits for Kompany to go up for a ball and at the slightest touch he crumples, Vinny should have learned from this.

I thought Kevin Davies was very dirty and cynical when he raked his studs across Aguero's achilles.

He spends more time trying to stop players by any means or crumpling to get free kicks than he does trying to actually play football the guy's a cheat and a disgrace the way he puts himself about, the rake down Aguero's achilles would have been branded a heinous crime if it had been NDJ, there would have been a witch hunt tomorrow in the press lets see if Davies is mentioned.

Because the media love Davies don't they!!!!
I just think its a bit rich to criticize Davies when your players were rolling around on the floor every time we tackled them, some of the reactions were way over the top and as soon as they got the free kick, they were ok - Milner had to be forced off by the ref after his play acting!!

davies does this all the time and gets away with far too much.
he provokes players with his dirty play. he backs into defenders and then falls over claiming a non existent foul. you do that 10 times and you'll get a free kick at least 3 times. that's all he is looking for.
i hated the way robinson pretended that he didn't touch silva's balls with his boot. pretending that silva was making it all up. what a bunch of twonks

that davies rake on aguero could have damaged his achilles and he could have been out for several weeks.
that was deliberate and deserved a sending off. play fair or GFY

Like I said, it was dirty. However, he doesn't do it all the time. I don't know of any serious injuries caused by Davies. You may think he hits the deck a bit too easily, but he went through years of stayin on his feet and getting nothing. I don't blame him at all.
He honestly isn't a cynical, dirty player. He just works really hard and does a gritty, non-glamorous job. However, he did make a cynical challenge today. I'm glad Aguero wasn't injured, he looks like he will do very well for you.

"Milner had to be forced off by the ref after his play acting!!"
Forced off? he has to go off after the trainer has been on, it's the rules FFS!!
"....as soon as they got the free kick, they were ok.."
errm do you watch football much? That happens with almost every player in every league in the world, just that some do not make a career of it like Davies.
