Ye shall not passCity will be disappointed with the result but chuffed with the clean sheet. That's now a draw in each of our last 4 premiership fixtures. A total of 3-points from the Wigan, Fulham and Birmingham games simply ain't good enough. We are now expected to pulverise such teams.
The first half ebbed and flowed with neither team able to gain the upper hand, though the Brummies had the better opportunities. Benitez almost gave the hosts the lead on the 9th minute from 20-yards only to see Given tip his effort onto the post. Given's heroics would continue throughout the encounter.
City's best 1st half opportunity fell to RSC after good play from Tevez and SWP down the right wing. His point blank effort was saved by the Birmingham keeper, who was untroubled for the majority of the game.
10-minutes into the 2nd half saw the home side being awarded a penalty. The referee adjudged De Jong to have handled the ball in the area as he made an aerial challenge. Super Given to the rescue as McFadden spot-shot is thwarted. Hoorar!
Ireland then came on to replace De Jong and the opposition changed the distraught McFadden for Fahey. Birmingham however remained the dominant team and City continued their lacklustre display.
Barry Ferguson was sent off in injury time after knocking the ball out of Zabaleta's hands as he attempted a throw-in.
Full Time : Birmingham City 0 - Manchester City 0.
ManTwitty.
