City v Toon - Match Thread

[Jammy89]

That seems fairly attacking, in the sense we have 2 wingers and and an attacker (i know he can't score but still )

Reasonable midfield - apart from Diame but i'm assuming that is because Rafa wants him to use his strength and missing Merino.

Also Ritchie dropped. . . . a few have been calling for that.

Then defence, also not to bad - i'd rather have Yedlin but not to unhappy with that.

The Hoss will score our pen..0-1....

[Jammy89]

2-1 now. . .

Go Murphy.

We can get this back or lose 5-1

Rafa will get crucified again for this, but in reality, we've given them 2 tough games.

[Jammy89]

Yup, think we actually did ok. . . when we attacked.

You're having a laugh ........ two tough games my ar@e. Granted we have done better than I thought but to say we have toughed it out with them is a joke.We have predictably been 2nd best by a country mile.
However having said that,I do think that the actual results (home & away) have not damaged our goal difference too much & should give us confidence against lesser teams.HWTL

[Jammy89]

Aye thankfully we've only lost 3 on the goal difference in total to City, some teams lose more than that in one game.

Small mercies i guess.

The players worked very hard and Rafa had them well drilled and organised.

Murphy is starting to show what a good player he is.

Don't tell me Pep wasn't a tad worried towards the end there.

Confidence and goal difference intact - Burnley is the big one - they are beatable and 3 points put us back on track.

.. Thought your keeper, Murphy and Shelvey played well. Don't think City got out of second gear and they did not need to .. Not sure what your game plan was mind ..
