Good Effort...

Only manage to catch some of the game, partly via radio and partly via a stream for the last 20 minutes, but that could have been a lot worse for us. Man City dominated as you'd expect and they looked deadly on the attack - could have scored far more than 4, and it was a shame we couldn't hold them for longer than we did.
However, Noone was fantastic, Eikrem looked class again when he came on.
Only worrying things for me were Whitts' poor corner delivery again (when we know he's better than that), and Theo getting turned inside out a few times. Also, why, why, why, why did nobody close Yaya Toure down before his goal? Worst thing you can do is allow a good player to run at you like that...
I'm not panicking that we're bottom of the league tonight - I think we've shown we can compete, but it's vital that we start picking up wins against the likes of Villa, Norwich etc coming up - we should've played better away against them, so I'd like to think that if Ole picks the right players, we'll take points from those teams...
