Very surprised with Koemans tactics they showed no ambition reminded me of the times when the Gargoyle came to the Etihad with his team of yard dogs and his swag bag and mask , decent performance and very surprised Nacho didnt step up for the first penalty , but both were very poor penalties at the right height for the keeper . Slightly worrying when we batter teams and do not create that many clear cut chances , unfortunately teams like the blue dippers will always put ten man behind the ball , Sane had a good first half hour but faded Sterling played in patches and KDB looked a little off the pace after his lay off , Merlin completely controlled the game.Quite sure Pep had one eye on the Barca game its a tough call prioritising games the quadruple is gonna be a bit harder than i thought :)
 
Thought we played well today, looked comfortable with 3 at the back plus VK got some minutes, let's hope it lasts. Their keeper had a great game, shit happens.
 
I think Sergio's pen was worse then De Bruyne's myself. Both times the keeper did not guess, he waited to see which way it was going and then tried to save it...Sergio seemed to watch the keeper hoping he would dive and then slot it the other way...I think if he'd just choose his side before taking and gone for it the keeper would have struggled anywhere near the corner
 
Hard to fathom the result and the performance was good but lacked that killer ball which kept Everton in the game on the scoresheet.

2 missed penalties and 2 points thrown away unfortunately.

Not much between the top five sides currently and it might stay that way for the remainder of the season.

Certainly a work in progress as they say.
 
Played well, sound have won.

Who gives the motm at the ground?

Lack of chances created a concern. Still struggle to break teams down that park the bus. Two big points dropped today,some will sugarcoat it but it was poor enough.

I was much more worried about this. The missed penalties are an abberation. The lack of chances is more of a problem. Until Nolito came on no one but DeBryune was moving dangerously.

East sat on the sofa but a penalty has to be kept either low or hit high into the corner. Both today where at that perfect height where if a keeper guesses the right way he saves it and for that reason, they are poorly taken rather than great saves by the keeper.

Kev and Kun are both better than what they gave us today from the spot and they both know it but shit happens, they are human.
 
Poor performance today. We created very little. And the movements in the final 3rd were labored

We need to find an answer because I think most teams will try that st our place knowing that we always seem to concede. Their goal was terrible defending. He has one foot, his left so you don't give him that side. Clichy looked like a fly to be swatted out of the way.
 
I thought we were excellent at times today - there goalkeeper made two fantastic saves plus pen - very unlucky we were.

Its probabley been already mentioned - but what was the applause for 26 minute??
 
The fact that Koeman has said we're the best team he's faced in his management career should tell us what we need to know.

We're fine, we're more than fine. Top of the league still and yet to hit top form.

Two missed penalties (should be game over if they go in), another new system, Stekelenberg having a worldie and our main striker not starting. Chuck in the hatfull of missed chances and we just have to say it wasn't meant to be today. I'm seriously baffled by some of the fucking doom and gloom merchants on here!
 
Not bad - bit frustrating. Looking forward to seeing vinnie back and Jesus in January. We will be there or there abouts. Atmosphere was a bit flat today - not sure why.
