“Joe Hart should stay in goal and make saves.” Roberto Mancini harshly said after Real Madrid vs Manchester City game was over. “If anyone should criticise the team it should be me, not Joe Hart. I am the judge, not Joe Hart.” Typical mancini losing attitude…

EPL champions Manchester City showed an appalling performance. They tried to park the bus and failed miserably ….if you’re gonna try to do that do it well. Actually close the gaps and block the balls, don’t just give Real that much space to shoot. Joe hart had his hands full. And leave it to Toure to make a goal out of nothing, because that’s what this Man City performance was: nothing. As a barca fan I can honestly say that Real Madrid deserved to win. They constantly attacked and were denied by a brilliant Joe Hart.

Kompany basically looked like an overrated player today…but he wasn’t helped either by Maicon ( who needs to retire btw). This reminded me of when Gareth Bale was toying with him 2 years ago.Brilliant to watch if you like a lot of actions and shots but a nightmare for Manchester City fans.
