Sandro was never a playmaker, he's doing his job excellently.

Silva wasnt pulling up any trees before his injury either.

Nasri

Anywhere else on the pitch the Hudd challenge results in a foul. Fortunate not to give away penalty, will the ref be so lenient next time with that crowd on his back? I doubt it

and Aguero? He's drifts in and out of games too much. Yet dont see him getting dropped much.

If that wasn't Zabaleta it would've been a pen.

the bias for Hart is embarassing.Even Curbishley is saying he cudnt do anything about it yet the header was straight at him.

But everything in life is about perception, fans boo Ashley Cole and John Terry but giggs slept with his brothers wife and nobody boos him.

gary Neville and chums go on about zonal marking yet at least 5 teams of the top 8 use it.It might not seem clever to the naked eye but there must be a reason behind its wide spread use.

I could go on.

Sandro has actually shown great discipline nad has protected our back 4 thats his job

Hudds challenge was obstruction at worst

"Silva's playing poor too."

Again :

Acknowledgment of what Spurs are, that Mankini felt compelled to rush him back into the fold so quickly.

I know. When a goal is conceded by using the zonal system, they directly blame that, but when its man to man marking, they never bring that to the fore when looking for blame for the goal.

He already backed out of one challenge on Ade

Lol

City should have had a pen for the gallas hand ball though...

Surely Mancini will sub Zabaleta he has totally lost it

Doovdé's half time assessment:

AVB has been negative. Spurs as a whole have been very negative. We don't deserve to be winning. It's been an awful game. I won't be happy till we commit 11 players when going forward.

I'm sure mr grumpy-grumps will agree

"He already backed out of one challenge on Ade"

Job nearly done.
I don't understand why forwards don't also target the morons like Terry early in a game.

idiot

@Mr Chelsea

its embarassing hearing british pundits have a go at zonal marking.It used more than any defensive system.united are the only big team I can think of who dont use it but I suspect they have conceded as many set piece goals as City

Why insult me Mr Grumpy-Grumps? Very childish...

Maybe our resident expert can tell us why a lot of managers use zonal marking and whats considered its big advantage ?

Doovde have you had anything decent to say so far? You're coming across as a prat on your own match thread.
