City v West Brom post match thread

[grim up north]

The bloke at half time who fell on his arse was funny!

And did anyone have the misfortune of going in the bogs at the end of the game. The stench almost made me puke!

To me back down memory lane with a stench that reminded me off the old Kippax bogs...

Is it true that Wenger is furious that not only can clubs with history and tradition still be eliminated from the CL on the anti-historical "away" goals rule, but that clubs with wealthy owners, and especially those whose ambition is to have a bigger ground than that of the "aristocrats " of English football, are still allowed to win matches against sides reduced to ten men, where the wrong man is sent off? This is all part of the campaign!

There are a few numpties in the pre match thread who would do well to keep a low profile over the next few days, you know who you are

This from someone who thinks havin a man sent off after 2 mins didnt affect weast brom! I take it footballs not your chosen subject

They would have played the same way no matter

Yes
When their man went off I thought "they're going to park it, " and they did .
City were up for it today though . Zabaletta made runs in behind and overall the attitude was better . It was just a matter of time . Quite a professional performance actually . Can't really complain

Why on earth would someone feel the need to keep a low profile because of an opinion they shared on the internet?

We've all made good calls, we've all made bad ones. In the long run, who really cares?

Bony had really good movement and was a pest.
We still lack the ruthless finishing we need. Kun looks frustrated and neglects the simple ball for a goal scoring opportunity. Good to see JH had an easy afternoon.
Any ideas how Joleon missed that header?!

Great performance today even if it was against 10 men for 88mins, saw a team performance that shows we are prepared to fight till the end, think this was more if a team performance than some of wins this season rather than one or two players doing something special, although really think that Silva, Navas, Mangala and Fernando (had to be him who scored our 1000th premier league goal) stood out specifically.
Red card didn't change much they were always gonna defend (btw pulis is really loud)
For me Aguero had a good game even if he couldn't take his chances his work rate was exceptional and that's all I ask for.
We definitely have more balance without Yaya and Nasri and if we replace yaya properly then we'll be fine.
We've FINALLY scored from a corner as well and it was also nice to have some sunshine in the East Stand.

It was one of our easiest games in a long time. Pulis teams have given us no trouble at home in recent years except Palace last year, yet somehow are always a pain to play against away.

Only complaint is we still lack aggression in front of goal and with the 2nd most shots in the last 10 years of Premier League stats, we could have really flattened them. But most important was just getting 3pts with Arsenal winning again and scum/Pool tomorrow.

BTW this was the scene in my block (107) before the game. I found it pitiful at the time and it looks even worse on camera. The block was mostly full 10 minutes later but they may as well stop flags and stuff when so many fans don't arrive for kickoff.

Fair play Myhill. He kept the score down.

Great game of football i thought playing against 10 men would frustrate me. Bony and Fernando we're very good Bony was on his way for MOTM until Silva dominated the 2nd half alone. Mangala starting to show his worth another decent game for him. Happy to see Jovetic get some time and felt he did well apart from his little dive. Atmosphere was crap again but all that matters is we're back to winning games and hope it continues and you just never know....

Come on City.
