Or miles better than West Ham. That ratio is normal for any team.31 shots but only 8 on target!
Nearly as bad as facing Mark Hughes with QPR on 13/5/12 with Nedum, Shawny and Joey Barton in their line up with them staring relegation in the face - although ultimately they stayed up.
Villa play Burnley on Thursday.
Stick to cricket (one for @Pedestrian )For me the selection was slightly wrong
If Ake wasn't fit I'd have put Rodri at CB and played Gundogan further up, criminal that foden didn't start.
However if ake wasn't fit why is he on the bench?
The penalty misses are ridiculous to be honest, been happening now for nearly 3 seasons.
Rubies are red. We don't want any Redshite coming good on Tuesday.I have a good feeling Ruby Tuesday could be the day
He is finished at this level in the PL unfortunately!......
The disrespect shown to Fernandinho today is fucking disgusting.
Yes he's got old, lost a yard in pace but still holds his own and has done a job in defence because our 3 best defenders are injured.
......
Corrected…

Wow, mate, you’ve read something in to my post that is not there — notice in it and every other response regarding it I have not blamed Riyad. I have merely said he should not have been the one given the task. And I am quite literally a statistician (as you should know by now), so there’s no need to quote penalty statistics to me as if I am not aware, especially when I never said scoring a penalty is “easy”.Seems you do not understand much.
Since 2009 almost 100,000 penalty shots have been taken on football pitches around the globe. 75.49% of those resulted in goals, 17.57% were saved by goalkeepers, 4.07% went wide and 2.87% hit posts or crossbars.
Posters go on about how easy it is to score a Pen yet 1 in 4 is not scored. Mahrez's record is better than that, but his today was saved. Thats football and to open the thread with your post just encourages an uneducated pile on. Shame on you.
It wasn't Mahrez fault that we kept playing down the left.Benzema had two pen in the semi vs City, Panenka on first and sent Ederson the wrong way on the second.
two crucial pens they needed both to be scored to go through.
and then Mahrez pulls this shit pen.
why he was on the pitch anyway, would have subbed him off 60min mark. he did nothing today, right wing was dead because of him. not one good pass or cross.
I prefer him to leave not Jesus or Sterling, age would dictate that too logically.
Sterling, god love him, has become the ideal City player insofar as everyone wants him off when he's on the pitch and on when he's off it.
Maybe that’s why he is leaving…He is finished at this level in the PL unfortunately!
Fine for you to be proud of the performance: there was effort, defensive organisation and grit but West Ham didn't give it a proper go. Yes, you scored a couple on the break, good goals from your point of view but our keeper should have saved the second. Mahrez should have scored the pen.
You hung on for 90 odd minutes. You had six goal attempts and only made it into the City's final third for 15% of the game. We had 31 shots; now that is giving it a proper go. You lot were whistling for the ref to blow at the end.
Positive is Grealish looks great coming into this last game.Hey mate why do you make so much effort to post the negatives?
Come on now, posters are on to you, it's not making you look good.
Say something positive!
Oh yeah. Guess you haven’t seen haalands pens yet. 9/10 times pure luck that he scores his pen.Well ok he’s missed a penalty, next season we have a new penalty taker name of Haaland
