[balotelli's back pocket]

Just remember Riyad's brilliant ball in got us level.

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

Did well to fight back from two down but fuck does that penalty feel like a significant moment in the season. Really didn't want to go into the last game of the season needing a win.

It was as important as that pen at Anfield we missed. Can’t remember who took that one

 

[colbee59]

I'd have taken a draw at half time.

I would like to know why our best player doesn't take the penalties though - if I was Pep, I would insist it was Kev!

You do know, Kevin has missed them, it happens [emoji170]

 

[axlgod]

I’ll take that considering 2-0 down at half time.

 

[ysmsa]

Mahrez, Zinchenko & Fernandinho should be nowhere near the starting 11 next Sunday!

 

[brummie blue]

KDB, Silva, Rodri, Grealish, Fernandinho, Jesus. Just a few players who should be taking a pen before Mahrez

 

[JamesMCFC]

At least Aston villa have a game on Thursday

 

[daveiw01]

Amongst all the glory it’s still really really fucking hard work being a City fan.
“Typical City”
At least it’s still in our hands, though the Villa game will be unbearable.

Imagine the scenes if one of our players has an Aguero-like moment....

 

[bluemc1]

Fuckin pen away from the Title

 

[blueinsa]

“Liverpool score that, Liverpool defend that, Liverpool win that”

Liverpool are 4 fucking points behind us!

Fuck off!

 

[BringBackSwales]

Be surprised if Grealish starts next week to be honest

Didn’t do his chances any harm today

 

[citytill1die84]

I just can’t understand, after everything that has happened before in big matches and penalties, was it given to Mahrez.

Mahrez scored a few penalties under pressure so can see why he took it.

2-0 down and out, title in dippers hand at HT 2-2 at full time I'd have snatched it all day long.

 

[colorado blue]

Don’t get the bottle comments. Good second half, pen miss was disappointing but it wasnt a bad one. Obviously a better pen and it’s in the net. This makeshift defense is are biggest concern.

oh and thought Taylor had a very good game for once

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

Except when they play us.

True, to be fair.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Mahrez has been impeccable with his penalty taking this season. Kev has missed them. So did Sergio. Everyone does. Don't criticise him for that. By all means criticise him for the fact that he was pretty much invisible for the rest of the game.
Didn't expect anything whatsoever at half time, and as I had anticipated, Bowen could have easily scored a third, were it not for the deflection by Laporte. We were absolutely gifted an own goal. Just take the result and be thankful. We've got a defence that made out of papier maché at the moment, and it shows.
Four points ahead of the dippers. Seven goal advantage. We're at home to Villa. Let's have a party, blues!

 

[WorthlessPoster]

Defence was dogshit and will be the same against Villa.

How bad can Ake's injury be? I mean, he was available as a sub.

 

[NoFullNameThisTime.]

How Mahrez was allowed to take that penalty is mind boggling, said straight away to my dad he would bottle it.

KDB needs to be more assertive and take the ball in those situations when pens come.

 

[M12Blue]

Will take the point after that shite first half. We lack real leaders, something Liverpool clearly have

How can you say we lack leaders with that second half, christ

 

[Dirty Harry]

A point that could win us the league, just Walker making it back would be a huge plus for us just so we can move Cancelo back over to left back, surprised not many have targeted Zinchenko tbh.

Marhez FFS !

 

[Daz-Simp]

Villa can’t defend. All we have to do is stop them scoring and we will score enough to win.

Us? Stop teams scoring? Did you watch that today?
