Man City Post Match Thread - first defeat in 12

[urban.spaceman]

Were Man City better than us?

 

Obviously.

 

Would the scoreline be the same if VAR was actually competent?

 

Obviously not. 
 

Pathetic refereeing.

I generally don't have anything against former Leicester players, but I think we can all agree that Mahrez can now fvck right off... 

[Vacamion]

2nd best for the first time in a few months. 

 

Still 2nd in the league, though.  

 

 

[purpleronnie]

It's one of those games where you don't (or at least i don't) expect anything, but that goal gave us all hope.

 

Oh well.

[ARTY_FOX]

Not bothered so much we lost. Disappointed at the manner of the loss. We didn't look like we were up for the fight. Super super passive and let them do whatever they wanted to really. 

[Brooksy]

Rodgers out.

[Izzy]

We weren’t great but we weren’t allowed to be. 
Sometimes you’ve just gotta doff your cap and admit you lost to the better team.

Man City are champions for a reason and would’ve beaten anyone today.

[twister]

Team have been outstanding this season for you

 

 

but at united and today they completly froze, city are brilliant but that was so poor.

Pathetic. 

It obviously would.

 

It was men against boys. Utterly bizarre to blame VAR on that one.

 

We were very, very lucky we didn't lose 9-1. 3-1 massively flattered us.

 

Anyway, it was a one-off game. We're still having an incredible season. Nonsense to blame that defeat on VAR though.

We were well beaten today, and Kasper saved us from a really heavy defeat.

 

But lets be realistic, they are a fantastic team, one of the best teams in premier league history with world class players like De Bruyne in their XI.

 

When they are on it they are unbeatable and they were on it today.

 

But remember, we are 2nd in the table at Christmas, have just been on an 8 game winning run and are in a cup semi final.

 

Plenty of reasons to be cheerful right now.

Didnt see the game as I'm away on holiday at the moment. Did he celebrate? 

[RowlattsFox]

Totally outclassed in all areas. I don't know what Rodgers could have done differently, man city Judy had all areas covered. We barely got the ball and when we did we had noone to pass to. 

 

Just weren't even in it. 

[lozzyblue fox]

Well on that display our players will all be here come end of Jan.

[matty98]

Disappointing because we're better than that, too many players having an off day. 

[Guest ttfn]

Manchester City were excellent, comfortably the best team we’ve played by a distance and we didn’t turn up.

 

As I said in the match thread it’s absolutely ridiculous that you can get a penalty for a minimal clip of the foot but absolutely nothing for being totally wiped out to the extent that you somersault and end up going off injured.

[Fox in the North]

We’ve improved massively this season, but we’re still a work in progress.  We’re still second and have only lost 3 games this season and have a reasonable chance to get to a cup final. We go again next week and then crack on after that.

Yeah he went mental the skinny little cvnt

[Aus Fox]

2nd best to arguably the 2nd best side in Europe.

Another embarrassing match day thread.

Only our third defeat of the season, all in the North West.

We go to Christmas second. 

Not our day, but how can you not be happy as a Leicester fan right now.

[Guest An Sionnach]

Thing is we were not that great against Norwich or Everton in the second half.

[Vacamion]

 

DeBruyne and Mahrez had stormers.  We needed them not to have stormers. 

 

Would be just like us to beat the Scousers now. 

[bfox]

Man city clearly a level above us tonight. Completely bamboozled us from the off and we never manage to click.

[whoareyaaa]

Can't really complain we are in our 1st year of rebuilding.. they have been champions the last two seasons and have a team that is on another level due to the work over the last few years.

 

Top four is still well and truly on.

 

Plenty of work to do yet though, thought he got the formation wrong today trying to match Man city we should have gone a bit more defensive.

 

Think we will fair better against Liverpool, never easy to go away to this Man city side no matter who you are specially when they are in that form

so you do have something against former leicester players then, make yer mind up.

[Daggers]

It’s a game we needed.

 

The squad will learn from it and help us to become the team we are yet to be. Man City are a finished article, we are a project...people forget that.

 

Mahrez can go pleasure himself with a rusty pole though.
