Ipswich Town (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Aba452]

Really enjoyable performance, Doku sublime, Phil fantastic and Kev terrific. Everyone else very good. When we hit our stride we were so composed going forward. This'll spur us for the second half of the season, travelling Blues brilliant as ever.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Songs we are getting back to our best today and the calmer injury front is helping.

 

[blue cigar]

Midfield control is everything,we were never overrun today.

 

[Utter bobbins]

Grealish is beyond finished

[Abattoir Blue]

They would need to have a monumental collapse - 12 pts and with the goal difference it might as well be 13 - they would need to lose 3 games and then we beat them as well plus a draw somewhere....obviously not impossible but how many teams are capable of beating them?

They'll lose/draw a fair few before the end of the season. But no-one else is good enough this to win 10 in a row to put real pressure on them.

Really pleasing today. Yes, v Ipswich. But our team have become bad players overnight. Our entire team pivoted around Rodri. His absence makes the role of everyone else 20% harder. Players just starting to get used to it and believe in themselves and each other again after some hefty gut punches. Finishing 3rd and 2 cup finals will be a great end to the season, no reason why we can't.

More like it , now we need to continue the wins.

McAtee deserves more time on the pitch high time for Pep to give it to him.

 

[daveiw01]

False.

False what? I'd agree, Ruben is a big miss.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Not wishing to think we are back to our best, but at least we put the game to bed early, unlike the games against the Scum, Everton and Brentford, when we blew 7 points which would have given us a fighting chance of the title and nailed on Champions League, sanctions permitting. Nunes did OK today, but we definitely need new blood at right back and defensive midfield, at least until Rodri is fit again. Maybe Johnny Stones would help, and a fully fit Ake makes the defence more solid.

 

[skillman]

Mint, that. And lo and behold it’s the first game in months that the midfield was on top.

Brilliant from Kova and Gundo.

We were good attacking against Brentford but it was brilliant today. A good, positive sign and hopefully more to come.

A clean sheet too!

That’s it concentrate on doing a player down

 

[willipp]

It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed a game like that. We looked full of confidence and exactly what we needed.

Huge week ahead and if we can have a good week, no reason we can’t kick on now and still have a good season.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Great to see Mubama and McAtee get half hour and 20 for O’Reilly.
City win and clean sheet
Rags shite at home
Washington Commanders win.

Fucking love this club.

 

[Micky Blue]

I can’t remember a better performance this season.
Let’s hope it continues.

 

[jayblue]

Better from City. Not getting carried away yet

 

[SWPISHOME]

That was a Pep City team today!

That was a serious performance.

 

[hertsblue]

Still not at our best where games like today, the opposition would hardly have a shot so we are still conceding a lot more attempts on our goal than previous seasons but we took most of our chances today that we haven’t been doing for a lot of this season.
Much better today but unless we address the midfield in this window, better teams will punish us

 

[eastmanc]

That’s it concentrate on doing a player down

I thought that was Gundogan's best game since his return.

 

[jimharri]

Pundits being fair to us. Makes a nice change.

 

[CC1]

Firstly (watching on TV) our support sounded awesome, secondly I thought Gundog had his best game this season, neat and tidy, couldn't ask for more

Our fans are just the best away from home. Superb whether we’re winning or losing

 

[Bluewars II]

False what? I'd agree, Ruben is a big miss.

Rodri is a far bigger miss. Ruben is a big influence in his own right.
