The starting line up was the wrong one. Simply we have been playing well using the old 4-4-2. Citys defence is the week point of their team, why not attack it. But no, we go with the cautious 5 in the middle. It didnt work and we looked twice the team when the second attacker came on the pitch. If we play all season like we did in the last 20 minutes the title will be ours. For the first time in ages we showed guts and the desire to win. Torres grabbing the ball post netting his first and running back to the centre spot summed it up for me, we wanted it and we wanted it badly. I was made up with the attitude and shear determination of the side. Star men for me were Reira, who had a good first half but nobody to benefit from his creative advances on the wing. Carra and Martin looked quality in the middle and Torres as ever looked dangerous. The team looked solid with the only weak point for me being the two full backs. Arbaloa looked ok but aurelio is out of his depth. He gave the ball away on many an occassion and was partly responsible for the first goal after a very poor pass. He is also slow at getting back and defending. Loosing Skrtel is a blow, but Agger does make a fine replacement but will take time to settle back in to the team. Lets hope he's back soon. Finally a word about the home fans. No atmosphere at all, and to boo Alonso following the well deserved red card was bad enough, but to boo Skrtel off the pitch was disgusting. Bad ,bad losers. Of course the initial post match reactions from them on several radio shows was to blame the referee for everything. For me they should be looking at their star brazilian wage thief whos head was the first to drop because they werent winning and who missed a sitter to win the game. Top four team city, maybe one day.........but no time soon. I suggest trying to build a decent crowd who know a bit about football first, instead of the blind, part time support who dont sing, dont shout and boo decent honest players. And youve got a Utd man in charge, yep i suppose i'd be bitter too........
