MAN CITY ISSUES (Free subscription) | yesterday
November, the fourth month of the new season and City have grinded to a frustrating halt. We have drawn all four matches and we should have collected at least 9 points, instead we got 4. We lead against Burnley, only to throw a 3-2 lead away. We also led at Anfield but threw that away and we led on Saturday against Hull. It is no means panic stations but things are getting worrying. Hughes’ management...

After the Republic of Ireland’s travails against France, Shay Given had probably had enough of all things French, but on Saturday, he had to deal with a bout of déjà vu thanks to Manchester City’s sixth league draw in a row. City’s continued inability to defend properly and hold on to a lead means they have again dropped two points from a winning position, although...

The last play-off encounter for the 2010 FIFA World Cup could not have been more dramatic than this.

It indeed was expected to be a fierce encounter between the two as the last ticket to South Africa was at stake...

Six draws in six. Three times City have thrown a lead away from a winning position. Before the game you probably would have taken a 2-2 draw but considering the game went. I am sure Mark Hughes will be furious and I for one am livid. 1st Half: The first half took a very long time to get going due to the injuries sustained by Daniel Agger and Ryan Babel. However, the was a very big chance in the 4th...

A sixth consecutive draw was the last thing Manchester City wanted, though Mark Hughes did concede beforehand that you could never regard sharing the points at Anfield as a poor result. That was before he knew City would be 2-1 up with just 12 minutes remaining. By conceding an equaliser barely a minute after taking the lead, City showed their inexperience – otherwise, they have every reason...

Four years is a long period of time, but for players like Shay Given, Robbie Keane and the rest of Ireland's national soccer team, it may as well be 40 years.
