You can paraphrase what he said and strip out his meaning, disregarding all his other post-defeat attacks on the manager and all his predecessors too if you like. It doesn't change the fact that he doesn't want a manager that learns from his mistakes, he wants a manager that never loses a game of football. There's no magic formula for winning every game where 22 men chase a little ball around for 90 minutes. Sometimes the tactics will be OK and we'll lose, and sometimes they'll be wrong and we'll win. If the errors were so glaring, why didn't he state them before the game? At the end of the day you can pick holes in the line up till the cows come home after the defeat, but no-one can tell me looking at the team before the KO it was obvious we were going to lose. Clichy is often cited as the better defensive option at left back, but he was largely responsible for both their goals (one of which was offside). Aguero had a bit of a mare by his standards, should've got a couple at least, so would Nostrafterburn not have started him? Dzeko's goals won us the league at the end of last season so you can't blame the manager for playing him now. Toure hasn't hit the form of last season, but he was fucking good last season. I still wouldn't want Lampard starting ahead of him. We hit the woodwork twice, had loads more chances. Plus West Ham are a good team at the moment - losing away to them isn't the affront to humanity being made out. Accusing the players of "not trying" is totally dumb. . I might've given way to my frustration a bit yesterday but it's bad enough coping with a defeat without the players and manager who won the league for us last year being called a disgrace. Sunderland against Southampton were a disgrace. City yesterday weren't.
that was literally a tl;dr SEC. Paragraphs man FFS.
