Flanagan actually challenged players, and stopped crosses etc. It was refreshing and a real change from watching Liverpool's defenders allowing everything to happen around them. I know a balance is needed, but we'll never be tight defensively when the opposition gets so much time to play in dangerous areas. See also the Allen/Gerrard kiss of death in the middle

Yep, agree with all this. Although Allen, to be fair, doesn't shirk from challenges, he just doesn't offer enough offensively.

This is a moronically stupid thing to say about a player like Joe Allen.

Joe Allen is okay. He is not a Welsh Xavi, though, and calling him that was a dumb move.

It's not our fault that City poo poo themselves for the second half of the season, and the everyone else are undeniably poo poo as well.

Seriously though, there's been plenty of good games. It's just been the title race that isn't as exciting. But that lets everyone focus on which three teams manage to gently caress up worse than anyone else and end up in championship.

The first great City wet fart of the season was Stoke holding them goalless at COMS for the first time in 3 seasons and walking off with 3 points. Its a good time to be a troll and a Stoke fan.

Uh no it's not. We can't accommodate both Lucas and Allen in the team when we have no loving strikers. Lucas is better defensively than Allen and neither offer anything going forward.
