Or you expected us to play them off the park? We only lost because of a wonder goal, there's no shame in that and could've even had a draw if it wasn't for Nacho's glorious miss. Dude, we dropped deeper in the second half, watching some of our defenders so scared they all but froze and let Man City on to us. Rodgers out guessed himself in the second half, should have stuck with the first half game plan. I'll be happy to listen to your differing opinions.
Mr Weller Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 Proud of us. Heroic. Great potential for the future. To go to possibly the best side in the world, hold them for longer than any other team this season, actually play some lovely football ourselves and only be beaten by a wonder goal is incredible. Our team is young, our manager is strong and our owners are fantastic. Now that’s worth getting excited about.

FoxFossil Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 Hopefully Wolves have a long run the the Europa league and do a Burnley in the prem. Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea all look like a rebuilding year next year..... Two or three decent signings, a strong start.. and who knows... 4th?

Bozman Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 Very negative performance, they all looked happy with a 1 nil...Strange, to say we had nothing to play for. was hoping we would have been more adventurous,,oh well..

fuchsntf Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 Now Maguire needs shooting lessons from ..... Kompany..!!

Guest MarshallForEngland Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 First half we were very disciplined and looked like we might create something on the counter. Second half we invited pressure and couldn't seem to keep the ball but obviously Man City were desperate and throwing everything at us. It looked like Pep had told them to intensify their press to stop us playing out from the back but at times they seemed to be playing ridiculously high, with 5 or 6 players around our back 4 while we had the ball. It panicked us but actually it was quite a cavalier strategy from Man City which may have got them into trouble had we played over or through their high press with a bit more calmness. Nach sealed his fate in my opinion with that miss. You can't really ask for a better chance than that and he wasn't even close. Gary Neville said in commentary that the most shocking part is that he looked like he hit it exactly as he intended to Really showed a total lack of instinct and ability there I'm afraid.

C'mon mate , One good chance and he made a hash of it , he's a striker ffs , couldn't even get it on target .
st albans fox Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 Possession 40/60 at the Etihad ...... that’s not a bad stat
Jaspa Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 We looked knackered from about 40mins on. Certainly weren't beaten by lack of effort though. I wish we could've strung a few more passes together in the second half, sloppiness probably brought about by their pressing and our tiredness. Screamer won it, Kompany's tried them before and made a complete tit of himself - he's probably just won the League for them. Besides some likable players Man City are a quite dislikeable Club, they come across as very tacky, fans up at arms about everything slightly contentious being against them, random Saudi's running up to Pep at full time for a congratulatory ball rub. Pretty sure Nacho's still on their pay roll too.

LinekersLugs Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 Nacho is useless get rid , total waste of cash him . Hope the Danny Welbeck rumours are correct , we pushed the best team this league has possible ever seen all the way in a game they had to win ! So so proud of that team tonight , we have a young hungry team just need to add a bit of class now and we will be contenders for honours again

Legend_in_blue Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 Regardless of the result, the performance was excellent. Very exciting times. Keep the squad together over the summer, sort out playing against crap at home and we're sorted.
st albans fox Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 Seeing that miss again, the scousers will be asking for a stewards ..........

He's only really had a handful of games at this level, and Man City do tire teams. Got to love the guy's effort and much more to come. That set up for Iheanacho was superb.

What would you expect? That we go gung ho, charging all out and get torn apart? Pep overthought it by starting Foden. With Sané on, they got much more pace and pinned us down in our first third. Don't forget that they're at home and playing for the title. They have much, much more quality than us, that's just how it is. If we got the first goal, things might have been different, but it was out of question to even think about pressing them high during 90 minutes. Brendan set us up well and as I said we could've gotten a result if it wasn't for that what could be the goal of the season.

Danizen Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 I don't blame our defence for the goal. Our system was based around our defensive shape and there's no way you break it to close down a CB who's about to take a 30 yard potshot. If Choudary had closed him down, space would have opened up for another, more dangerous Man City player and we would have probably still conceded. Iheanacho, though...
