[Rodri’s ACL]

This game screams Oscar Bobb winner

 

[bert38]

Mcatee anonymous

Thought he grew into it once he moved more and him and de Bruyne got out of each others way

 

[remember arthur mann]

Kev of old buries that.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Get Kovacic off that fucking pitch he's absolutely shite

Lost count the amount of times he's given it away or been caught on it, so slow to release the ball

Don't talk rubbish

 

[ChicagoBlue]

McAtee off for me, the lad has zero personality on the pitch, get Savio on

Should have had two goals, and done nothing otherwise.

Expecting Bobb to replace him!

 

[super_city_si]

he makes absolutely fantastic runs

Got killer instinct too.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

And Lewis, but he probably won't now that we're level.

What has Lewis done so wrong? Or it just because he’s the latest boo boy

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

We’ve shown some big balls to get back into this, 10 minutes of piss poor defending (as a team) has cost us.

I get the feeling that it took the sting of the team going 2 down to get a few arses into gear. Kev has rolled up the sleeves and led by example.

Finish the job second half with a similar tenacity and it could be the momentum we need to see out the season well.

KDB hatrick, the ginger is going out on a high

 

[ayia napa blues]

Great watch mainly down to how poor we've been defensively. Kevin taking some responsibility here

 

[Gabriel]

Can’t agree with that at all. He’s been the available man in tight spaces and has been driving us forward from deep midfield, playing alongside Nico G.

Agree. The only problem is that they often get caught either square to each other or directly ahead of each other. No great understanding between them yet.

 

[Bill Walker]

How the fuck can our team be so different in two halves of the same half?

KDB on fire. His shot was like me on FIFA when I'm through on goal and forget which button is shoot.

You answered your own question, KDB fired them all up.

 

[colorado blue]

Mcatee off

Yeah the lad has been poor. Needs a goal but not happening today

 

[Mancity1980]

Fucking insane game. Aside from.our defending we've played very well. Turning point was that third goal being offside thank God.

That would have been 3 nil down, now’s it 2-2!

 

[Craig]

Mcatee should have scored, but he is more of a goal threat than any of the others mentioned…

He’s also like a ghost for most of a match.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Great comeback but Rico needs to come off.

He is just positionally unaware. There was a couple of times in that half when he was well ahead of the ball in the RW area. Eze was totally free if the ball got turned over.

I would also take off McAtee for Bobb/Sav. Apart from the easy header he's been anonymous.

 

[jim tolmies perm]

Got to score there Kev

Yep, in that position you'd put your house on him sliding it in far post, god knows why he needed to put his foot through it

 

[PragueBlue]

Strange half that. Based on clearcut chances, it should be about 7-3. Unfortunately KdB and McAtee have missed some sitters.

Played surprisingly well on the ball and created more chances than we have done in a long time but once again we have just been so easy to play through defensively. This could really finish any score.

Having said that, I think if we can keep creating these clear chances while tightening up at the back, we should win this.

 

[Keeper!]

Should have had two goals, and done nothing otherwise.

Expecting Bobb to replace him!

Don't get the lad, a city fan going through the motions, just can't take to that in anyway

 

[pride in battle]

Thought he grew into it once he moved more and him and de Bruyne got out of each others way

Macatee has missed 2 great chances!
