City Vs Swansea in game discussion thread

12 minutes 26 seconds is the record amount of injury time added on. As a minimum of 12 mins is ours, wonder if we will beat it

I really wish he'd just call time to be honest.

A little disappointing that once their backup keeper came on, we never tested him.

Would rather clichy had run that ball into the corner

Well we aren't going to be on first on MOTD. Expect Balotelli to get a bollocking again as well.

3 points on the board and that's what counts in the end!

Im intrigued by the play shit for one half and step it up for the second half tactic.

It's not 'playing shit' it's just refraining from pushing too high up the pitch whilst your opponent has energy to burn because it leaves you open to counter attacks early on. Especially with our defence the way it is at the moment. You wear the opponent out with possession in one half and then push forward for the kill in the second.

This isn't a new thing, we've been doing this for about as long as I can remember.

So when does the kill come, we are at 89 mins.

I never said we played well. I said we'd played okay, and we were executing a game plan that lasts 90 minutes not 45, so we should judge in the context of the whole game. Turns out we played 'okay' in the end.

why? he's been one of our two best players

We've done it!! We've got the record. Proudest day of my life.

You'd think Balotelli started by the way he gets back.
