I think Lukaku needs to take a large amount of blame.Half arsed jogging about effort. City were not that great and if Lukaku had of been hungry tonight he could have bagged a couple and we would be at Wembley. If he had been more arsed on Sunday we would not be 12th.Top strikers don't decide to not be bothered. He only has the goal tally he does because he is part of a very talented attacking team.doubt he would score as many elsewhere.he needs to put it in every week.bit like aguero.
 
lukaku barry and stones looked liked players who have been played far too much and need a rest.
baines looked like a player who has just come back from injury , played too much and needs a rest.
Osman , well he simply has not got the legs for top tier football. he should be at chesterfield or mk dons.
cleverley was out of his depth
the substitutions were totally ineffective
the formation didn't really work ....again
its a disgrace we have the likes of lennon and pienaar on the bench yet have Osman and kone on the pitch
and lastly it was clear to me from around 50 minutes the ref had an agenda. I'm surprised he wasn't celebrating with the man city players at the end of the game.

that's the negatives.
positives were mori and barkley

Martinez still insisted in his interview that we will have a 'special' season ....... bemusing!

So let's blame Lukaku for not getting to Wembley? Ok.

Well he needed to be up for it tonight and I don't think he was.do u? He offered nothing.no outlet.when we were in great positions his desire was zero.he was never in the right place,he was always yards being the play.I thought he was a 1 out of 10 performance and let he side down.

I agree with most of what you say, although Pienaar only just returning from a long lay-off. And as for the comment from Martinez, maybe he knows something about the takeover.....
 
At least Prince Harry de Bruyne can watch the final from the posh seats. As for Yaya Tourettes - the *&^%@ng *7n^

And where are their ball boys? Can't City afford them? Or do they interfere with the lovely advertising hoardings?
