HAPPY CLAPPIES WHERE ARE YOU NOW!!!!!!! COME ON HAPPY CLAPPIES EXPLAIN THAT PERFORMANCE!!! PEARCE'S TACTICS WERE DIRE!! 3-5-2 AT HOME WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEARCE OUT NOW!!!! WE COULD YET GO DOWN - GET RID OF THAT ELECTRICIAN NOW!!! WHAT A JOKE!!!

Bobbins .... The players need a good kick up the behind because they're just not interested in wearing the blue shirt of Manchester... I blame it on Pearce myself with the total crap signings of Dabo, Corradi, Samaras and Dickov... Bye Bye Pearce....

Just got back from the game - unbelievable tactics from Pearce!!!!!! 3-5-2 at home - we could yet go down!!

just come back from the game.....awful.....can' t really swear on this site but im sure you fellow blues can use your imagination to select a few choice cusre words of your own....got major probs up front, midfield and defence.....CTID

The recent performances have covered up the inpet tactics. Pearce and Wigley came across 3-5-2 won a few games and now we even play this formation at home. Hughes knew what tactic we would play - did Pearce vary it - NO!! Pearce you are clueless and will take us dow this season!!

Jordan is hopeless. Why sell Thatcher when we have no replacement apart from Jordan? Why did we play 3-5-2 when we had no Barton? The players just did not fit the formation. Why is Sturridge at least not on the bench? Trabelsi was clearly not fit. Samaras must start in the cup. Sorry if I sound negative, but after going to the game, I am afraid that I don't have anything positive to say apart from that Vassell and Ireland were fantastic.

have been saying it all season pearce out....corradi is a disgrace ,we have no passion , no skill, no pace,no striker .....will renew my season ticket when pearce goes.

HEY BERTIE BLUE NOSE LET'S HERE THE EXCUSE FOR THIS ABJECT PERFORMANCE??? ME THINKS THAT THE HAPPY CLAPPIES MIGHT HAVE GONE BACK INTO HIDING!!

What a great comeback by Paul Simpson and Preston - get Paul Simpson in NOW to experience good football and get rid of this NEGATIVE PEARCE FOOTBALL!!

now i do try not to moan on here but that has to be the worst we have played id rate that worse than the wigan game we were getting slaughtered in the first 15 minutes from the midfield and i dont normally have a go at pearce but christ could he not of changed it there and then in the first 15 mins instead of waiting till half time and we were down 2-0 ive got to say jordan has got to go trablesi did not look up to it at all today dabo was very were but getting now were OH AND DIDNT WE REALLY MISS BARTON IN THE MIDDLE TODAY it just goes to show how important barton really is to manchester city,today is a sad day to be a blue oh well come on RICKY HATTON U CAN DO IT.

Mike 83 Middleton -

Can you now understand why!

This team is a joke - Yea I was there with the other 36k - freezing - booing at the end -

Can you understand why now -

PEARCE OUT!

WARDLE OUT

Nuff Said !

Something of a wake up call to some of our complacent clappy bretheren methinks. What can you say? The team selection was dreadfully negative again (anyone that picks half hearted lightweights like Jordan and Trabelsi as wing backs, in a midfield that also includes equally immobile and slow individuals such as Dabo, and an out of position Sinclair, is surely never expecting us to create anything) and the standard of football, as 'twas against Spurs and Bolton, and truthfully for long periods against Everton and both Sheffields, was simply attrocious. It got better after the break, but virtually everyone I know was asking the same obvious question, namely why weren't Samaras, Miller and, to a lesser extent, Beasley, on from the start? There are 92 clubs in the football league. City lie 92nd in terms of goals scored at their home ground, and 89th
in terms of the number of times we've scored 'nil' this season. Come the summer, if we are still in this division (and that's still a reasonably big 'if' in my opinion, despite what Bertie Blue Nose and one or two other club stooges would have you believe), there is going to have to be a major shake up in the backroom staff at Manchester City, or we are going to be playing our football next season in front of crowds of around 25,000 instead of 45,000. Can't hold Pearce solely responsible for the dreadful stuff we're watching at the moment, rather he's probably just doing the limited best, an excruciatingly inept Board will allow him to. An absolute apology for football, and I will be looking anxiously over my shoulder from now until May, and praying to God that Joey Barton doesn't cop for a serious injury, cos if he does, there ain't no way we're going to make it to 40 points. Shocking

I just thought City had a chance Europe after 6 games unbeaten thats gone hopfuly win the fa cup Dabo Rubbish get him out

Pearce - you really are clueless!! No goals again - Abdoun and Sturridge NOW!!!!!! Corradi and Samaras are useless - Sturridge and Abdoun NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul Simpson = attractive football and premiership football next season - Pearce = NEGATIVE BORING FOOTBALL - 3-5-2 - AT HOME!!!! PEARCE OUT SIMPSON IN!!

HAPPY CLAPPIES WHERE ARE YOU... HAPPY CLAPPIES WHERE ARE YOU!!! RELEGATION A POSSIBILITY - PEARCE OUT NOW - SIMPSON (TRUE BLUE) IN NOW = ATTRACTIVE FOOTBALL!!

Please, please ,please sign a goalscorer, we should be pushing for Europe, not looking over our shoulders again cos all the other results go against us. If there is no signing we could (but shouldn't) get dragged back into the mire. Outclased today by a much better footballing side, let's not waste the good results of the last few weeks, please JW beg, borrow or steal the money for a striker who can score goals.

Just goes to show how much we need a left back a left sided midfielder and 2 new stikers.If we can add this quality we will be top 10 if not then it s going to be a case of if we are worse then the rest

I saw the game and was really concerned about my city... Give me a call and I can save you - give you attractive football not negative rubbish at home......

DISGRACE! WARDLE WILL THIS NOW PROVE YOU NEED TO SPEND, LIKE YOU SAID WE WOULD WHEN WE GOT SMASHED OFF WIGAN 4-0 WELL THIS IS WORSE

Okay Happy Clappies - let's here the excuses and if you claim Barton - Blackburn were without 3 first teamers!!!!!!! HAPPIES WHERE ARE YOU? By the way weaver was useless - ISAKKSON IN NOW!!

Horrible. But at least it has happened before the end of the "Transfer" window. If there really is any money available, which is doubtful, perhaps this will persuade the board that they really must spend it. We are now only a tiny margin away from our true position, which is 15th. At least it isn't in the relegation zone, but what an undignified way to crawl into the new era of TV money. We have to have a lively striker, who knows how to score and not pass back to the goalkeeper. And of course all the positions where we are lacking have been covered over and over again. Playing 5 at the back and a holding midfield player may scrape us a few more points, but it has now been shown up as the desperate tactic that it always seemed. I'm afraid Jordan just brings nothing to the team, and we really do look poor if we are outnumbered in midfield. But any striker will struggle if he only gets the miserable service that we provided tonight. Please Mr Pearce, spend the next week sorting this out.

Get rid of Pearce now before we go down - what awful first half tactics - Hughes knew we would play 3-5-2!!!!! What a joke watching Pearce, Wigley and Flowers wondering what to do at 0-3 down - useless and must go NOW!!

Just got back. There are 4 players who just should not be allowed to pull the shirt on again, whether we have replacements or not. Corradi, Jordan, Dabo & Sinclair. Not good enough. We were bossed, at home, by Blackburn. Blackburn!! Dross. Not happy and not optimistic.

Okay I know this going to surprise you all - but I am finally convinced that Pearce must now go before it is too late. I would recommend that the board appoint Paul Simpson to provide open attractive football rather than the negative football that Pearce provides
