Man City vs Reading - Post Match Discussion

[Ducado]

I said at the start of the pre match thread that Reading could have the game of their lives, and they did it, was another cup final game, teams really do raise their game against us, we have got to raise ours in response, we are the Champions it is to be expected

We move onwards and upwards, each game at a time

Game of their lives - and we still won :-)

Unusually shit and "levelling" weather; bus parking beyond belief; and we win anyway with an injury style goal that guts our main rivals. Lovely. Immensely enjoyable. Stop moaning.

Yes we did, I will wager that they will not play like that again in any other game they play all season, shame for them really because they would stay up, but they won't

On the bbc website he was moaning about conceding a last minute goal, then trotted out a list of games they've lost to last minute goals... Yep there's a pattern emerging Brian and in case you forgot your the bleedin manager and it's your job to change it!

City are to honest, I knew what was going in as soon as I saw 3 reading players trying to get Sergio a red card in the 1st half, their goalkeeper was time wasting from the 1st 20minutes as soon as you touched a player he was down, medical team taking eternity to treat a player, reading were really underhanded a very poor showing? So city ruined Mcdermots Christmas well Brian you ruined the game. The 3 worst sides I have seen this season for what is supposed to be called professional behaviour was Madrid man united and now reading.

Mind numbing. Once more lacking any type of tempo and Mancini was pretty disrespectful to not only the opposition with the starting line-up, but also towards our own roster.

You don't need to earn £6m a year to see how flawed the decision was to pick both Barry and Garcia.

FFS, if there was one game Sinclair should have been given another chance from the off, it was this one.

Could not believe my eyes with ten minutes to go when we brought every player back for a Reading corner?

For me, the gears are there, but we keep slipping them.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

5-0 they said! It would be easy they said!!

Fuck me.

Too many airheads giving it ridiculous scores in City Square before KO. Can we just fuck off with Fanny Danzone asking what the fucking score is gonna be! JUST WATCH THE MATCH!

Said to Trevor on 80 mins: Reading deserve to lose this match on 99mins. Get in Gazzer!!!!

 

[City_Sean]

our "post" match, half-time with the commentator is absolutely pathetic to say the least, its like it fires up the other team when they say "we are going to win 5-0",

Well what would be the outcry if they'd scored from that corner. Mancini's tactics sometimes leave people baffled but he isnt there to impress you with his picks but to get results and AGAIN he achieved this today.

Another win - roll on next game and thanks Roberto.

Damn right

Just watched the highlights on RTE. They agreed that there was nothing wrong with Barry's header, but they did say that it was a penalty for the challenge on Tabb. Indeed, they said a penalty could have been awarded for Nastassic (in the inside right position) handling the ball as it was crossed for Tabb.

How was it disrespectful?

Would have thought it a fairly straightforward selection.

Don't deny the doom mongers their weekly moan Moomba

Just heard on talksh*t we have scored 23 goals after the 85 th minute since the start of last season!more than twice the amount of any other team - how we used to curse the scum for doing just that! It wins titles!!!!

Out thought by the bottom of the league manager today , his tactics were spot on , lucky win.

Yeah Readings league position shows what a tactical genius he is

How many shots on target in the 2nd half did we have , give you a clue, 80th minute.

Todays game reminded me of playing against Everton , horrible nasty game if i was a Reading fan i'd be disappointed.

Just flicked SSN on and the headline was "Manchester City scored a controversial last minute winner", you should've see the look on the faces and tone of voice when saying it, and they are dressed in black !, imagine if we lost, there would be a fanfare, dancing chimps and the lord mayor out !.
