Man City Post Match

[studentofthegame]

If Iheanacho doesn't start going forward then I give up, he is miles ahead of Daka and Vardy in terms of looking like doing something, I feel he is one of those players you have to put on the pitch and deal with the occasional brain fart because he just finds ways to be productive 

[Hitesh]

Aside from the first 20 mins..we had one BIG difference...INTENT! Take that into the Wolves game and we can get something from it 

[nnfox]

On balance, Man City are a better team.

 

What might have been though with Madders and Kels both going close at the end.

 

Goal difference didn't take the battering yhat looked likely after 10 minutes 

[LCFCJoe96]

Got that out the way without too much pain, onto the games that matter

[funkyrobot]

Iheanacho HAS to start every game. Praet should be in for KDH. Not sure how he can drop Soyuncu, he was our best defender today.

I'm happy again.

We lost.

Some positives there. Been ages since we've been able to say that.

 

But we simply have to start winning games. Teams pulling away from us week by week.

Who do you propose to play up top instead?

[southfox66]

I think we can take away alot of positives from today plus it's the toughest match out of the way. I'm sure that the target will be two wins in the next two games 

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Feeling quite optimistic after that. OK, Man City didn't really go up the gears and made those subs. But we played some decent stuff late on and more importantly showed some grit. Had Maddison scored, as he should have, reckon we could have got a draw. Something to take into the real games from now on.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, START NACHO OVER VARDY

[Matt]

Terrible in the first half and I can't wait to see the back of some of these thoroughly unlikeable (too nice) and frustrating players we have.

 

Second half there was encouraging signs.

 

Todays game was always going to be a write off, as much as it's hard to take in reality, but it's out the way now and it's time for these players to dig in, get some ruthlessness in them, fight and have no more excuses.

No mate so he can score

[Trav Le Bleu]

Well, we're better than Bayern Munich.

 

Official!

 

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Could have been a cricket score after 20, and then we were ridiculously close to stealing a draw against the B Team.

 

Gotta get at Wolves now. No more inferiority, no more excuses.

[Bert]

If anyone thought we had a chance of winning then I applaud you. 
 

We shown more fight and spirit today and actually created chances. We can take the positives from that into our next few games, which are all winnable. 

[Chester Dontlie]

Also, Cags did really well. I expected him to be much more rusty

[Mike Oxlong]

 

 

Think I might start looking for some professional help 

[Lesta Legend]

A shed of hope, maybe a little too late. 
 

XG 2.22 and a bit of fight, that’s all we need. 
 

It’s the hope that kills you.

Would have been Fvckin funny if we had of drawn. Next home game needs an ihanacho chant before the kick off.

The last 25-30 minutes was fantastic. Just shows what having midfielders that can take and pass the ball does! KDH cannot play again.

 

I know Man City took of their biggest players, but the side that finished the game for them is still world class.

 

Have to take the positives and work our arses off in the build up to Wolves which is now the biggest game the club has played since the Cup final 

[Buzzell]

Really defensive approach in the first half and Man City punished us.

 

Changes in the second. Application from the players was much better, helped with Man City falling asleep and taking off majority of the main threats. Dean Smith will be coming away thinking that if we took our chances then we would be walking away with a point. Good effort overall.

 

Wolves game is massive though. Positive tactics and take the game to Wolves. MUST WIN!

[Fazzer 7]

I'll take that. Yes Pep made changes and eased off. But by all accounts it was a much improved performance. Just need to start with mendy and nacho and we might be in with a shout again wolves. Praying for a yanited win tomorrow.

Mustoe on the ball
