Reality check or just unlucky? A bit of both I think but I thought we looked really good in the first half.

One of the many positives to take from the defeat was that we have still not concede a goal from open play, I think the level of defending we have shown over the first few games of the season has been one of our most improved assets. Yaya had a great game, to say it's his third game in premier league football, I think he will mature to be one of the best box to box midfielders, given the right time. I can't wait for Balotelli to return, I think he will give Tevez the partnership that his style of play suits; we could have done with him on Sunday. Never the less, happy days are on their way!

Disappointing game, but people shouldn't be blaming Tevez. It's not his fault he missed, it was a mistake, everyone makes them AND we definitely shouldn't be blaming Mancini!

...Nicola Hennis

After Tevez missed an open goal, it seemed our morale had gone down. We couldn’t focus anymore and we kept on losing the ball easily. Hard luck but we must win against Blackburn now.
