Swansea (QF) Post Match thread

Fuck you hartson I’m glad your hurting.
Surprised he can get the players names right.

I think when he had that brain tumour and they operated on his head I think they removed a part of his brain that deals with language

In all seriousness, I think the last gasp slide tackle is a Delph trademark that he used to good effect last season. Unfortunately, if he's a tiny bit off the pace through injury or lack of match fitness, it makes him just that split second slower, and great tackles become late tackles and a decent player becomes a liability.

That tackle in the box was fucking ridiculous. There is nothing else to say about it.

Never seen such outrage from BT about contentious decisions in a Manchester City game, I wonder what the difference tonight was?

Having said that, they weren't wrong that VAR would have overturned the decisions... it doesn't however mean the game would have definitely finished 2-1 either though, the equalizer was coming before the penalty was given.

I'm not sure if Sterling stumbled off balance or dived/bought it as the Welsh pundit tried to say but it didn't look like he appealed for it, the ref pointed right away. I will give Sterling the benefit of doubt but if it was deliberate he should cut that out, we don't want refs having excuses not to give us the correct decisions, nor should he feed the unjustified reputation he has of being a diver(in a City shirt).

Not sure VAR would have changed Sterling's pen - even after viewing fro various angles it can be argued either way. Not sure why you think Raheem dived - the contentious bit was whether the Swansea player touched the ball - he certainly caused Sterling to fall whether he got the ball or not.

go on then i'll speak in block capitals.

you pick the best 11 fit players available to you. when and only when the game is safe do you put on the second string players. it gives the first team players a rest yet the game is safe.

But that's how squads get tired. It's also the quickest way to make second string players feel like spare parts and explore their options at other clubs.

Pep's won a truck load of trophies in his career and we're still going to be in all competitions come April for the first time in the club's history, having won three trophies under him already. I reckon he knows what he's doing, Bill.

Shearer on MOTD: It's just a pen, defender catches his left leg.

Then Ince pipes up, not a pen, some pundits don't even hide the bias towards anything we do.

That ex manager with an outstanding record to back up anything he says.

 

[M12Blue]

so Pep do you now accept that rotating doesn't fucking work. we are not a selling club so no need to put Delph in the shop window, or indeed feel sorry for him so give him a game. you also do not weaken the team out of sheer embarrassment because you spunked 60m on a wank winger we didn't need.

put the best 11 fit players out and play your fucking games once the game is safe.

Is that Manchester sarcasm or rank bollocks

Wasn't a pen for me but I don't give a shit.

I fucking love these nodding dogs.

I thought I’d have a look now at what was being said as the game was underway. Not surprised in the slightest some of the posters on here rn blade or what ever your username is your a disgrace. We’ve won two trophies and fighting on four fronts and your going on like a primary school kid who’s just pissed his pants. Why don’t all you whinging fuckers stay off the forum or can’t you ban them ric. It’s the same culprits time and time again. Anyway finished my brew another 2 half hours at least till home. Can I just add the support was magnificent best I’ve heard in a long time take a bow everyone who was there ctid

 

[St.Pauli support]

I don’t think Delph will play another game for City. He’ll be gone in the summer and won’t be risked in the run in now.

He is shite. Really shite.

Walker needs to buck his fucking ideas up as well.

Yes Delph wasn't good enough, but same goes for:

Laporte, Ota, David, Leroy, Jesus, Mahrez, Walker.
Gundogan quite invisible as well.

Delph has to take some cover in the run-in, if Mendy can't (and he also won't be matchfit at all).

We have to calm down a bit, and hope he at least help us for the rest of the season.
