Hopefully that 1st half was a view of City in the future should've been at least 2/3 up,a bit wobbly 2nd half but a win is a win this season,oh fcuk VAR

 

[Tbilisi]

It should have been done and dusted by half time against a poor Spurs side.
Savinho is a great player but he's useless at finishing. He's either off target or it's a little feeble shot straight at the goalkeeper.

First season, hes going to be some player, just a kid really.

 

[Blue and still suffering]

They could do with an experienced midfielder coming in next season. Perhaps someone who has won everything and is current holder of the Ballon d'or.

Do you have someone in mind?

 

[Roachy]

7 points off second…still fancy us to finish above le arse

Replicate the 1st half for the rest of the season and we're looking good.

 

[hertsblue]

We need to win a few more headers from set pieces.

Be nice if we win a header, let alone more.
We all know we have the most incompetent set piece coach out of the 92 football clubs in the 4 divisions. We cannot take a decent one, and give up goals and free headers when meant to be defending them.

That first half was as good as we've played all season and had we finished our chances we'd have been justifiably 4-0 up. If you think that's rubbish then I can't imagine how youve been feeling this winter.

You make the point - thank you. Exactly. The match is 90 minutes. We never did wrap it up did we. Then we had to hang on for 45minutes hoping we dont do another blunder at the back and toss it off again.

 

[chaddblue]

Most of that second half was a tough watch but I doubt there’s a city fan that exists who thought it wasn’t gonna be that way after missing all those chances in the first half

As for the disallowed goal.. absolutely scandalous. Thank fuck it wasn’t 0-0 at the time and thank fuck they didn’t equalise with that header. The shit would have really hit the fan

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Not interested in all that. Just stating the truth. We were rubbish. When we are good I say so.

We were very good in the first half, did you only switch on at halftime?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

VAR: I can't see whether it’s handball or not, ref.
Ref: Yeah well l thought I did in real time so let's stick with that yeah?
VAR: Seriously I mean, there is no conclusive proof that it’s handball.
Ref: Well I've blown the whistle so we stay with the on field decision.
VAR: We have these monitor things you can look at if you want?
Ref: Nah, if you’ve spent 5 minutes looking at it forensically, I’m not sure that me looking at it is going to make much difference.


What a system

Slight edit.

 

[Bluesince1979]

Ive had a big moan about the ref, ibe had a big moan that from 35mins on we looked done in.

But … what a huge win

 

[LeonardoDaVnci]

How on Earth are pundits still saying Khusanov isn’t doing brilliant at City? Been brilliant since he came in but one mistake a month ago means he’s not settled in still despite being one of our best players since.

They just don't want it to be true, so they've gone into denial hoping and praying he makes another mistake. Don't forget, legacy media silence when it's us means good news !

 

[bitterblue78]

If out a penalty to city

 

[Norbert D]

Throw in the Arsenal and Chelsea results and it's 9/15 - the same return as if we'd beaten Chelsea and Newcastle and drawn with Liverpool, Arsenal (A), and Spurs (A). I know most of the performances haven't been good enough, but getting through this really tough stretch of games with that record would be decent during most of our title-winning seasons.

Thinking exactly the same mate. A very tough month negotiated and a reasonable set of results. Top four is there for the taking.

 

[heslops barnet]

Corners are no advantage to us unless they are played short. Amazed Pep never worked that one out?

Long corners, short corners, medium corners….they’re all shit corners

Amazing how almost every team has improved their corners whilst ours have got worse if that’s possible?

 

[Fordyboy46]

I feel Khusanov has settled the best out of the 3 new signings, Nico and Marmoush look like they're struggling with the pace of the prem at present. Expected though being thrown straight in to these big games

 

[ancoats]

That’s what Haaland said too

If VAR did its job proper, Haaland should have had a pen or goal given with the advantage rule

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

It was great not to concede in the first 15 minutes..........it sort of gives the team a chance to get a foothold in the game.

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Be nice if we win a header, let alone more.
We all know we have the most incompetent set piece coach out of the 92 football clubs in the 4 divisions. We cannot take a decent one, and give up goals and free headers when meant to be defending them.

Totally.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

About time we won ugly. Up the Blues!

Concise ;-)

 

[I'm Blue]

They couldn’t say that there definitely wasn’t, therefore there was no clear and obvious error

I can say there definitely wasn’t.
They spent long enough looking at it from every conceivable angle.
So I’ll say 100% it wasn’t handball.
Var should’ve told him to go look at the spurs player juggling the ball.
