Birmingham [A] review: City at their inept worst

When losing at Norwich last month in a match that ended an unbeaten run of 8 it almost felt like a victory as City put in a performance of the highest order.

In the 4 games following we've managed just a point and the performance at St.Andrews on Saturday was perhaps the worst City have put in during the Pearson era.

3 goals conceded, all from set pieces, proved City's undoing and the sparkling forward play of last month appeared a distant memory as it wasn't until 85 minutes that they mustered a shot on target.

Who's the guy in this episode's picture? Alberto Tarantini was a star in Argentina's 1978 World Cup winning team. Spurs got Ardiles & Villa, Birmingham signed this former Boca Juniors defender who only lasted 23 games after he attacked a fan for heckling! Seemed like yesterday was a tribute to him with Blues Chong, Hannibal & Sanderson all sporting his trademark hairstyle along with our own HNM who's own performance was the pits.
