Fantastic! We fight to the end!

 

[OB1]

Amazing team.

 

[jimharri]

Not for Fraudiola, it isn't!

Lucky with the decisions but cmon how many chances did we create and how many lucky breaks in the box did they get. On another day that would have been easy 6 Goals. Delphi is finished on my eyes his only chance of staying is if we get a ban. Mahrez not on it and never in a million years I’d he good enough for city.

Message to the bellends in the match thread.....never write off the team you claim to support.

Embarrassing in that thread at times.

Excellent interview from Graham Potter. Very calm and level headed.

Despite the loaded questions...

 

[Neville Kneville]

It was James that did the damage though.

It was Celina who made ten yards on Gundogan.

Celina is not fast.

I don't think Mahrez works for us tactically. He needs Walker overlapping, but for some reason, it's like he's been told to not do it so much. Otherwise he's just so easy to defend against, because it's obvious what he's going to do every time. He needs to be willing to get to the byline more often and cross with his right foot like Bernardo did a couple of times, almost creating a goal. You only need to try it a few times to put enough doubt in the defenders mind to open up space to cut inside and get a shot off.

Walker is woeful getting forward. He has no crossing ability. He is simply used for his pace to stop counter attacks, his passing doesn't even create any chances.

Mahrez has to combine with the midfielder on his side (Bernardo or Kevin), and he hasn't clicked with that.

Great win. Lets all hope the other Manchester team get through their tie......

 

[SVP]

I keep thinking the same. I genuinely can't see the defender get much of a touch, and his feet go into Sterling's legs.

Pen for me too - never a dive, but not arsed to be honest

 

[Airbags Optional]

Anyway the pen, is VAR not for clear and obvious errors? If the footage has to be slowed down and several angles checked that’s not clear and obvious imo. Feck it anyway about time we started to get the run of the green, lads looked knackered and this break is well needed

 

[eversince 76]

Don’t get the ones saying we were lucky. Swansea was lucky we didn’t score 3 within 15 minutes. We were by far the better side and so we deservedly won and got through to the next round. Was it a good performance? Probably not. It was still a great comeback in an FAcup game away even though it was vs a lower division team. We showed great mentality!

 

[Stoned Rose]

2 week rest, get everyone in cotton wool, ready for the most exciting run in you’re likely to see....

Incredible we are still fighting on four fronts going into April

3 surely pal?!

 

[northendenton]

Fuck. Me!

It's not obligatory is it .... just askin

 

[andyhinch]

Got up at 4:15 here in Tassie, not shown on TV so listened to Talksport commentary, and reading comments on Bluemoon
Can I just say, some of the absolute shit posted on the forum,self entitled wank, you’re a fuckin embarresment to City

Why go on ? I find it’s best avoided.

 

[scousemanc]

No you're alright it's just a saying :)

 

[Neville Kneville]

Come on Nev :)

It is.

Delph possibly touches the ball before catching the player.

Neither touch was enough to take the ball & both made contact with the attacker.

Their player clearly dived but it's Sterling who gets the shit.

 

[mccity]

It was Celina who made ten yards on Gundogan.

Celina is not fast.

That's true, but that's not what I was referring to. We had issues with James's pace. It was only when we pinned them back it changed.

Gundogan was slow for the goal, but our weakness goes beyond him.

 

[Gabriel]

It was Celina who made ten yards on Gundogan.

Celina is not fast.

Anybody's fast when the midfielder (Gundogan) decides to stop and allow the player a free run. :-o
