Hmmmmm.....

Stick or Twist? Keep it to 2-0, goal diff down to 5 better than the dippers and we have to beat Villa, which puts our goal diff at 6 better as a minimum.

Possibly enough, but my God it will be close.

Try and get a point, take goal difference out of the equation, but we still have to beat Villa and we are more likely to concede again.

Ah fuck it, chuck on Phil and Raz, take of Mahrex and Jack, go for 4-2 City.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Second half. Come on Blue Boys!!!!

 

[OntarioBlue]

get raz for jack

I’d leave Grealish out there but instruct him to run at the full back at every opportunity. It’s Mahrez who needs the hook

 

[chesterbells]

Had a bad feeling this would happen be elated to come away with a point from this

Even losing by one goal could make a big difference to losing by 2 or 3, but yeah, think we’d all take point now.

 

[smallsteve]

It does my head in they get 2 chances and 2 goals, you felt it before the game.. and it happened! i know this city team and Peps shitty team rotation! he won't make a change... feeling totally dejectedd

As it has been for a long time.

Possession football has flattered or defence, whereas the reality is that it is a House of Cards and can’t cope with pressure. Not helped by Eddie whom is all too often beaten.

Summary of the 1st half

 

[daztrueblue91]

Today

We can hope.

Winning from here will be a nail in the coffin of the Liverpool title challenge. Will be like if Mahrez bagged that 94th minute chance against them at the Etihad.

 

[Octavian]

Is anyone seriously suprised with this result or performance based on the team selection? Mahrez goes missing when pressure is on, grealish absoloutley useless as he has been for the majority of the season. Another disasterclass in selection from changing the team yet again by pep. How foden and sterling havent started amazes me.

Mahrez scored vs Madrid… did his bit

 

[bobmcfc]

Really !! Then you`re clueless.

Absolutely no need for that. Don't take your anger out on me. Jesus get a grip will ya

 

[coolcity]

I don’t know who we have that can change this though.
Our weakness all season is against teams that do this. Sit back and pack defence, but have a threat on the break.
They have. I reason to play any other way in the second half.
We have nothing to aim at in the box. This is where the likes of Haaland would be such an asset.

Fuck me, a sensible post at last.

 

[MaskedAguero10]

Mahrez, grealish off and dinho, foden, gundogan and ake on. foden-kdb-jesus front three with gundo and bernado in midfield alongside rodri. ake and laporte in defence

 

[hateutd]

Grealish needs to have space, yet Bernie and Zinchenko are crowding him out. Zinchenko needs to mark Bowen and start defending only!

Get Fernandinho and Mahrez off now and Ake and Sterling on.

My 5-2 prediction is still on though.

COME ON CITY!!!

Time to stop drugs...

 

[bondsman]

2-0 down to w side that have been shit since Christmas fucking dire half of football. Players concentration appalling.
That said the penalty decision is a disgrace

 

[simon23]

How Mahrez and Grealish are starting is beyond me. Neither take responsibility. Mahrez fine when you're 4-0 up and need a tap in scoring but he never ever changes a game.

fully agree

Both have zero fight in them unless its Grealish just trying to wind up opposition fans and players.....which doesnt help ever.

Foden is twice the player Grealish is and is much younger.....Grealish is the elephant in the room that people dont want to know about.....yes he may come good next season and turn out to eb a gerat buy BUT this season he should be on the bench ...so so poor - just passes sideways and backwards unless he is running against a tired team (when he comes off the bench) and the match is already won.

 

[Aphex]

Christ only here someone would make a shite defeat look like a good thing.

Get a fucking grip. It’s half time mate.

 

[bluealf]

Meant two goals down, but you've passed the test

What?

You said nobody remembers the 93:20 and then got it fucking wrong lol we were not two goals down in the 93:20
1 up and 2-1 down.

 

[PaleBlue]

so we will just have to smash villa next week :)

45 minutes of this left yet................

 

[BolinCell]

This game is done. Now lets hope Gerard doesn't get his own back for that slip.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

One and half games to go. Should be playing our best available 11. Grealish and marhez arent in our best 11

Can’t disagree with that

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Grealish was an unusual sighning. Usually there’s a clamour for a player but everyone was rather indifferent to him turning up. Looked the sort of signing United would make. The things he gets off the pitch antics was well up their street too.
