Yeah pretty much , Viera was pretty much burnt out , Edu was injured for most of it , Reyes was struggling with that racist controversy .

I still don't see how he was culpable in that. It was 100% Aragones.

Oh come on, the gulf couldn't have been more. It was like City were toying with them. You could blame City for the score being as low as it ended, there were a few instances where they could and should have turned the screw.

The fact that United were even as cautious as they're at home, yet City carved then open time and again, I think it is lame to ascribe that to managerial style, that was basically hiding and hoping for the best.

It was tactically rubbish from United and City didn't even look like getting out of 2nd gear . And that defending from corners ..... just sad they didn't do that at our place .

He's not like that is Reyes, but he was already having problems with Henry .

He was a young lad trying to adapt to a culture so different to the one he was brought up in. Came into a team of men who were all titans of the game.


Fortunately (as well as unfortunately) for him, he was under the tutelage of a brilliant yet brooding player in Henry who always sought perfection in his team mates as well as himself & came across as stand offish at most times.

I actually remember him with a grimace across his face when he celebrated scoring at times the nutter :lol:

Aragones was trying to motivate him but went about it in the most idiotic way possible. Though in hindsight it was a futile effort, every man & his dog as they say knew that, for all his talent, Reyes would never get close to Henry.

He's one of those blokes that needed to feel part of the team and Henry was pretty much completley self absorbed at that stage .

He was so in his pomp that he could upstage the best of peacocks :lol:

Most of the old guard who had taken the players under their wings & acted as facilitators had either retired (Keown & Parlour) or had their roles gradually diminished due to being slowly phased out (Bergkamp, Ljunberg, Campbell) which certainly didn't help the situation.

But it wasn't all for naught, he won the league unbeaten thus becoming part of an invincible squad. Won the FA Cup in spectacular fashion by commiting daylight robbery against a loathsome Manchester United side & was an Eto'o offside away from winning the Champions League. Not a bad couple of years I'd say ;)

For all intent and purpose, the League is over now. City may have the title wrapped up by early April easily.
Glad that they beat MU and Mou today though. Jose is really an embarrassment to the sport. The dude has assembled one of the most expensive squad ever but plays the team like he is Tony Pulis at WBA. Shocking.

Yet we sh!t ourselves when playing against his teams.
