1) LOANS
Bailey/makelele - whilst at fault for the 3rd goal i felt he was citys motm, he tackled hard and was quick to pass rather than dwell on the game, really reminded me of the makelele water carrier/anchor man roll, kept thing smoving along smoothly and even got into a goal scoring position second half. he is gonna be a good loanee and add some bite to this team!
reckford played well imo, hes got good anticipation and was regulary intercepting arsenal through balls, think he needs to cross earlier but he did well, i still like to keep hussey and rotate rather than play kilbane though
mousa looked very bright,strong and pacey...for 20 mins, then he went out of the game,i think he could be a bueat in league 1 though
2) work ethic - city worked damn hard for 60 mins,arsenal got most of their goals when we tired massivly,hopefully thats just a one off ebcause players arnt used to chasing likes of wallcott and oxlade around?. i felt barton also worked hard when he did lose the ball so thats improvement,i hope robins noticed
3) hey we got a penalty save and goal to cheer, well done murphy! 2 assists in 2 games for baker now, a brilliant cross and a good finish from ball(how about we dont condemn him so soon boo boys?)
overall yes we need to cut out individual errors and work on fitness but that first 60 mins leaves me convicned we can turn this season around,and fast.
