Man City Post Match

[AjcW]

First time I’ve felt proud in months.

 

Take that second half into the next 7!!

[the draper]

I believe .... second half was much better 

 

I really believe 

 

We are staying up 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

We scored in the second half ...... could have scored 2 more......but at least we played better

Was always going to be a free hit. Otherwise I saw enough to be a bit more optimistic.

 

Two things - the corner for Stones goal wasn't a corner, and we should have had a penalty in the last few minutes.

[Hamilton Fox]

Hopefully the second half (even against a weaker team) will give the player’s confidence and remind them that they are actually footballers that can create chances

[HankMarvin]

Let’s see an improvement against wolves now

nacho to start please 

[The Guvnor]

We won the second half .

The next game will be the true litmus test.

Much better 2nd half. Nacho MUST start. 

So he can miss even more open goals?

[Aus Fox]

Much better second half, Maddison, Iheanacho and Preat all had chances they really should have scored. 
They didn’t really threat after half time.

Nothing will be decided today, but there are positives.

Bring on the Wolves

[Lambert09]

The one thing that bothers me, is that when they made the changes and took away all of their threat… we still didn’t press them on the ball.

 

You can’t be 2 down and just happy to let them have the ball. We improved but the urgency and the belief that we could… still wasn’t there imo

Horrible game done and encouraging to see us being positive and not just accepting our fate.

 

Huge games coming up.

[FrankieADZ]

alot better second half, think at this point Kel has to start, even daka and Kel for the Wolves game for me

certainly a few positives from that compared to the shower of shit we've had for most the season

[nabb7]

Second half exactly what I was hoping for. Sure we got outclasses first half, but 90% of team do at the etihad.

 

Smith will have learned a valuable lesson today: start Kelechi every remaining game. Maybe he'll finally become the main man his performances have consistently deserved. COYF

Phew!! Not a bad result given they're probably going to win the treble. Very lucky that they've got so many games to play and decided to stop trying. Hopefully this will be the last time we start Vardy, as soon as we brought him off we looked better going forward than we have in many games.

[Guest Col city fan]

Quite simply the fight to avoid the drop starts now. Today was a practice match.

Now it really starts.

[BigGibbo]

Well, I felt like a victim after having watched the first half hour so it ended as well as it possibly could have.

 

Preps to Pep and Dean for making the changes required to restore a bit of hope and pride for us and keeping our goal difference in tact.

 

Onwards and upwards to batter Wolves next week. 

[Phenom]

Nacho comes in and look what happens.
 

I’m so tired of all of these managers disrespecting him.

[LCFCJohn]

Yes Man City eased off and made changes but it was more positive towards the end. Maddison should have scored, great ball to Nacho and unlucky with hitting the post. Couple of penalty shouts of our own, Man City probably get the Maddison one at the other end if it’s Grealish.

 

Probably got enough to get results in the upcoming games!

[Nalis]

Promising 2nd half even if they put the foot off the gas.

 

Wasnt a disaster for our GD. 

 

Good for Soy and Youri to get some minutes.

[LVFox]

2nd half was better than anything we've seen in ages.

 

Stick with that back 3. Iheanacho has to start, we've got a chance.

[Chester Dontlie]

Hope springs eternal... It aint over until a fat lady sings..etc etc. I actually thought we were decent second half especially towards the end.

[Zear0]

Relieved we didn't get smashed as GD could be crucial and it wasn't looking too great first half. 

 

Great to see Youri back even if he was clearly not up to speed. Also nice to see some real desire from Kel, has to start over Vardy but won't unfortunately. 

 

Main negative was Wilf. He just needs removing. More of a hindrance than as asset on the pitch. Mendy needs to play his role for the rest of the season. 

 

Still got some hope for survival...

Manager used it to look at a lot of players, he'll have a better idea for the next game.

[adejo92]

Happy with that, despite losing 3-1.

 

GD hasn't been battered and some hope.

 

Soyuncu played well and I thought Thomas did well when he came albeit I'd stick with VK.

 

Big telling will be next week against Wolves.

[Hales]

Best we have played for a while

Created chances, positive, grit and played to the whistle. Cags great! Has to start Nacho and Mendy. Praet for KDH too. Nice to see a manager make changes when needed and positive changes!
