So it appears that City were not ‘slow starters’ against Everton in the last game but merely learning as it was City who started the brightest this go around scoring two goals in the opening five minutes. Gareth Barry opened the scoring for City on minute numero 2 before Carlos Tevez doubled the lead after five.
To say that City were then comfortable from there on in would not be swallowed by any City supporter reading this as even against Huddersfield all those years ago, we did need the tenth to secure the points!
City, as the away team, had less of the possession, less shots on goal and less shots off target than Newcastle. In fact only the foul count was higher, but with it being City it means any trip or unbalanced run resulted in a foul on a City player, meanwhile Tevez is molested in the penalty area and the referees arms wave play on like he just hasn’t seen a re-enactment of the shower scene in American History X!
But I digress, truth is Citys stats point to this, our possession doesn’t have to be much, we still create. Our attempts on target half the time today resulted in goals and our shots off target were a minimum, meaning we don’t rush and take our time, (sometimes) .
Mr Tevez, or as I like to call him, The Almighty Blue, showed again today that he will fight for our club and will continue to score goals for our club meanwhile Mr Ashley showed that he still needs two seats in the VIP section and no matter how rich you are, pies are still good. So dumb to get rid of a good manager! Good news for him is, Championship football next year……more games……more pies, it’s a win win. Oh yeah and City are second in the league. Bring on Villa!
