Nottingham County certainly don't look like a team languishing in League One, and Manchester City certainly don't look like a team their in the Premier League playing against lowly opposition. It's not like City are playing a gang of reservists, either - minus Carlos Tevez and Vincent Kompany, they're playing almost a full strength side. At home. Against a side currently 18th in League One.
Manchester City Vs. Notts County: Visitors Giving City A Scare; Karl Hawley Hits The Post
County, in yellow, certainly aren't following City's script. They've dominated possession and had the lion's share of the chances, having alarmed a sleeping City several times, Joe Hart's had trouble with crosses, the defence has repeatedly been caught out of positions, and most recently Karl Hawley has hit the post with a beautiful long range cross with Hart well beaten. Edin Dzeko attempted to reply with a free header at the other end of the pitch, but the Bosnian's effort was straight at goalkeeper Stuart Nelson.
One might expect the visitors testing the integrity of the woodwork to wake the host from their slumber - we’ll see if that was the spark needed to get Manchester City playing properly.
