Sorry pal I did lol

no worries...

I really like Diaz .....he is so positive and loves to run at the defender and thats his first thought.....we need that in our team...he is young at present and needs the next two years of being on the bench, getting regular game time through subs appearances and then we could have a very special player on our hands (same with Fodden )

Great performance again but the amount of missed chances is shocking and was asking for trouble at the end. Can't say we should be overly concerned but I think Sane and Jesus would have taken one of the countless chances today. Gundogan still lacking in the final third but overall played well. 13 points clear at the end of the day and onto the next one.

Think everyone needs to chill......yeah frustrating but we're 16 points ahead ffs! Tomorrow it'll be irrelevant as we march on. We didn't lose. Sterling does need a rocket from Pep, then a cuddle. Bring on Leicester. We'll take it out on them. Gundogan i thought was fantastic, our best player cant understand why people are slating him.

Agreed.. though its always forgotten that goal difference is an extra point. by the end today we will have a minimum FOURTEEN point cushion. That is 5 games our rivals need to win and we lose. League is sown up. Its how we manage the cup's with injuries

We had to make changes due to injuries. To change the defence via choice was un unforgivable.

Mahrez would have been an asset today. Leicester ya ****s

No it wasnt. Stirling had been shocking all game. Substitutions are part of the game Stirling needs to deal with it he's not a boy.

Someone ban this moron until he learns how to spell City player's names.

Fair enough. Apologies.

An open net is an open net though.

His whole interview focused on two things. The side Sterling prefers to play on and his finishing. The two things that caused problems today.

It was either brilliantly incisive by Neville or it got to Raheem.

But they settled too much for 1-0 and that was a mistake today. They also for the first time finished a game second best and looked like the games had caught them up.

Truth is but for an amazing save they could have lost that game.

But this is why we are not going to win the league by a huge total in the way some are saying. It will be much closer. The season is long and we are starting to feel the effects of injury.

He HAS to play Sterling next week - though. He needs his confidence back. He should not have been taken off today as Sergio could have come off given his performance today and pushing Sterling in the middle to try to get the winner was the best thing he could do.

Imagine this thread if we weren't 16 clear hahaha

Get a grip FFS.

Sack the board!

Disappointing result and sloppy finishing but a point not the end of the world. The players need a rest now and we go again.

We are still going to be a point better off than we were last week at a minimum thanks to Spurs beating the tags so all good.

Sterling shouldn't take the blame it was all round poor finishing notably Aguero was very poor and even KDB quiet.

Just one of those days.

Could we really of scored 10?

How many touches in the opposition box? 55 - close to a season record I think. How many times was the final pass the wrong choice? About 20.

Modern day Typical City.
