asteener1867 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 No complaints about the effort put in...I would ask how the f.ook monk thought taking FF off helped Da Cruz was doing naff all..Forestieri was giving them something to think about....Lee was running on empty , bloody stupid substitution in my opinion..

Mystic Neg Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I'm pretty happy with the performance, it was about right. We perhaps could have had a pop at them early in either half when they might not have expected it. To mount an energetic last 15 is a big ask after chasing shadows for over an hour. My only criticism is the 4 or 5 opportunities we had to put good ball in from set pieces. It is about the only feasible way we could hope to upset them and we didn't execute a single one of the set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah was surprised he took FF off, thought Cruz considering who he was up against did reasonably well. Lee might have been on empty but Pelupessy hadn't even filled up.

Iorfa I'd have said 3. thought murphy dint look out of place at that level(first half anyway). And young Alex hunt did more when he came on than any of our central midfielders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0rtherner Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I'm guessing Luongo and Reach are feeling positive there's 2 spots for them as soon as they're fit because the rest of the midfield are so poor - bar a hard-working Kieran Lee. Hope he's not going into our injury books too now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Effort was there, some we know are clearly not championship quality, never mind competing with Man City. Disappointed we didnt have more of a go, but sometimes the opposition make it difficult and they are an elite team. I know it's not all about money, but I'd wager Aguero earns more than our matchday squad combined and their subs bench comfortably worth more than our club at the moment, such is the gulf. We kept them honest and the scoreline respectable. If we carry that effort into Saturdays game, we have every chance of a positive result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMOwl72 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Clear the ball to half way, let them come back at us. Repeat for 90 mins. What happened the one time we pressed higher up the pitch? We won the ball and Hunt sent it across goal for our best ‘chance’ of the game. Ok some back to the wall defending, ragged at times and not pretty and they had 5 or 6 very good chances to score. Yes I know it’s Man City but if we always settle for second best that what we will get. Never expected a win, more like a 4-0 defeat (which let’s be honest it could easily have been) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't we were obviously hoping to get a goal out of nowhere and maybe the plan was to be adventurous but City did not allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
