Just got in a pick up after a front tyre blow out on M62.
Have I missed much?

Blow out on here as usual

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Antonio has walked back in time to 1997.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

This game could do with a bit of Jacky Boy

Agreed. An element of control is required. Other than that it wasn't a bad half.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Had to mute the TV at half time, can't listen to spitty and the lad in fancy dress talking shite.

Who is that guy ?

 

[ysmsa]

Why play a high line when you cant be offside from a goal kick FFS

Just thinking that but it's to catch em out if a flick on.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Most saves by a goalkeeper in one half since records began

 

[deano ou812]

To be fair I can be a little guilty of that

We are all guilty of it ..

 

[borassic]

Playing really well apart from being a bit shakey at the back. We’ll go on to win this

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Thank feck for that late goal. Ridiculous goal to concede by us, Toney again bullying our centre backs, just like the game at the Etihad last season.
Erling really needs to score one off these one on ones for his confidence.
Some sloppy stuff at the back from us at times. Gvardiol and Ake having too much of the ball up front so far?
Need to kick on 2nd half and win this.

 

[TrentGrisham]

It's not a great look for Erling on Phil's goal. He didn't even look interested in making that run for the ball KDB played.

 

[wolviedinho]

Who is that guy ?

Gary Neville in disguise?

 

[citytill1die84]

Early goal now please blues.

 

[Dax777]

I thought we played well. Their goal was just a bad mistake.

I'm a bit disappointed with the persistence with Josko at LB. Flip him and Ake. And if Pep is not comfortable with him at CD yet ( don't know why he wouldn't be) then bench him and bring Stones in. But Josko is a far poorer LB than Ake. And I'm not sure Ale is a better Centerback than Josko.

 

[eastmanc]

We deserved that now let's go on a do the business.

 

[Chak19]

Battered them all half but missed chances and conceded from their first shot this time even stupider than usual, story of a lot of our games this season, got a deserved equaliser and still confident we'll win but we don't make it easy for ourselves.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Thought we were outstanding that half, ridiculous goal aside.

Erling needs to be a ruthless **** this half and find his scoring boots when the chances come his way.

 

[Haaland94]

Ake and Gvardiol at fault for their goal

?. Sunday league defending there from Ake to let Toney push him out of the way in the middle. How is it Gvardiols fault? He was trying to fix Ake's error there.

 

[oakiecokie]

1, Ref, 2, VAR , then 3, trial by television until found guilty!

It is City after all

You`ve forgotten 4) Hung, drawn and quartered.

 

[hilts]

Don't want to jinx anything but this could end with 4 or 5 in our favour

You just did:-)

 

[BringBackSwales]

Was Toney not backing into Ake for their goal? Compare that to Akanji breathing on Allison
