We played well in spite of the likes of Torres and Gerrard not having the best of games, and it's one of those where I'm happy to applaud the opposition instead of tearing into any particular aspect of our play. We were utterly dominant, and they kept us out. Not a great deal more to say from our side of things to be honest.
City have been an average side for years, yet in absolutely no time Sven's built a very impressive little squad and made them incredibly organised, particularly defensively. Other than getting swatted by Chelsea, they've had an excellent season, and you have to take your hats off to them for coming away with a point today. No question about it, that's going to be a real b*stard of a fixture for any team to get 3 points, so I don't think we should feel too hard done by tonight.

The performance was good I thought. Its hard to create chances with 11 players camped in there penalty area, we needed someone like Garcia today,to score out of nothing. A good point I thought, better to have 1 point than none.

However Kuyt has been consistently poor all season and was average last season. I'm not even knocking his goal attempts as thats not the problem. His touch is terrible, his link up play is very average aswell, and his passing was poor. I aint saying we drew that game because of him, but like it or not he was poor and is nowhere near good enough, he doesnt cut the mustard and anyone who knows there football can see that.
Thats not a knocking post, thats just telling it as it is.
I must admit I am starting to worry abit about Torres though. Against Chelsea he had a bit of a confrontation with Terry and we never really saw him again, Against the mancs he had a bit of a confrontation with Ferdinand and we never saw him again, today he had a bit of a confrontation with Richards and same again.
Maybe its just frustration?
