Joe Hart, you saw me crying alone

Just awful defending. This fixation on playing Demichelis is becoming Kreist-esque. As far as I'm aware Kompany was fit enough to play and there's no excuse for leaving him out. Demichelis was better last season but he's nowhere near Kompany's caliber. No idea why Hart was left out either, Caballero was more at fault than anyone.
Kompany was a last minute scratch because he was sick. Hart was left out because they have a mid-week Champions League match on Wednesday and they wanted him there since they lost the previous one.
I guess, but Hart plays both the league and CL games all the time. I understand he didn't train until Friday but if he's fit enough to be on the bench he's fit enough to play.
Don't remember what happened last year as they were out pretty quick, but the year before I'm pretty sure Pantillimon played the other competitions. I think the reasoning behind having Hart play in the Champions League is that they don't want to go out as quickly as they did last time, so this year it has a higher priority.
Well, Pantilimon had gone to Sunderland in summer 2014. Caballero actually only made two league appearances last season, IIRC one was before a CL match but the other was New Year's Day. Hart played every other game, including all the CL group games and the last 16 of the CL last year. Thought he performed well in all of the CL games honestly.
I think I need to yield to you on this as my recollection of last year's Champion's League is not near good enough to be sure of these things. Not sure I'd want to ask Hart to play both EPL and CL games though as that could be a lot of matches if we go far into the tournament.
If that had been Saunders we'd be arguing about it all winter! Glad that last goal was scored though (and so was he).
Caught the game this morning and was shocked at the lack of effort being displayed by the players in blue. They looked like they didn't want to be on the pitch at all. Stoke danced circles around the defense and should have scored more than 2.
How many players are injured for city right now? Commentators kept mentioning hoe city was ravaged by injuries.
Toure, Aguero, Kompany, Nasri, Zabaleta. Someone else too who I don't remember. Also Mangala was out due to suspension.
YaYa plays like he's injured all the time these days, so can't much call that a loss.
I don't understand Yaya at all! He was nowhere to be found during the first 80 minutes of the the game and then suddenly he takes over the game and nearly brings City back from 2-0 down singlehandedly! Why doesn't he play like this all the time?
