You're getting soft. ;-)
A top, top keeper like a De Gea would never have let that first one throu...

I think we've seen the best of him as a regular. Needs his minutes limited.

He needs a long summers rest. He'll come back fine next season but right now he shouldn't be starting every single game.

This has been a crazy match but I think their 2 goals were avoidable. Laporte made 2 blunders which is so unusual of him. Hope we can score the next goal because it's pretty sure that Spurs are scoring one at least.

Need to play smart now
We only need one
Need to keep ball and stop their counter
Last 10 mins is what we need
Make them think they have to defend then they will stop counter
Nerves coming for both teams

Things were only heading towards a city won in the first half, Laporte had calmed down and we were still creating chances while holding spurs off.

I really hope Poch doesn't change everything, especially the emphasis of his defence, because it will just take us 10-15 minutes to work out how to attack the new system and we dont really have time for that.


most importantly - if we get the 4th then we can't stop until the 5th is in.

I'm going for a last minute penalty for City to win it.

Watching this in a pub on Blackpool’s pier with loads of kids running around and a dj playing shite music and no sound of the football it’s weird,but what a game and a second half to come,those in the stadium sing loud and proud we can do this,come on City

Need something to calm me down any suggestions?

Lorazepam?

I love Laporte, but let's not pretend he was awful at the start of this game.

Not too worried about it, but it was pretty shocking.

Good bad or indifferent, fact is he's cost us the 2 goals. We are 3-0 at this point without our self inflicted fuckups. I don't have a downer on Laporte - he's fantastic - but the fact is he had a shocking first 30 minutes.
