In all honesty, I think those days are gone, mate. Once we're up 4 or 5 nil we're going to wind down, conserve energy, and ensure no one gets injured.Outstanding performance.
Just wish we'd thrash someone 8 nil and not ease off. Sure that day is not too far round the corner.
Exactly this.Teams can no longer press us by keeping a high line because if they do the pace of Sane, Jesus and Sterling will rip them to shreds.
If they drop deeper then it leaves more space for Silva and De bruyne.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
It looks like the other team aren't trying when in reality they don't know whether to push or stay.
Tremendously exciting times.
That can be answered, in terms of Glen. He's a cnut.
I assume your referring to Jesus (didn't see what he was booked for) and once again it's another reinforced rule to make city 'different'.
We have one of the highest possession ratios in the league, yet one of the worst in disciplinary.
We're not exactly a dirty team, are we?
I have been watching football for a while now and I struggled to comprehend some of the shite decisions made tonight, the tackle on Sterling by Cresswell was dangerous at best.It annoys me when a team is winning well, they seem to get the letter of the law, yet the team getting stuffed get let off with blatant yellows
I think that causes more issues, as they know they can "leave another one", on an opposing player, and still won't be sent off
Poor use of the cards tonight ref
oops, didn't read thatPat Nevin was on 5 Live around 7pm, was listening to the usual sycophantic shite talked by most pundits about how the Rags are on a fantastic run and will easily make top four. Had to smile after our performance (and theirs) then I just read the following on the BBC website from Nevin.
" Analysis - 'City will be found out'
Former Chelsea and Everton winger Pat Nevin, BBC Radio 5 live
"I think if Manchester City play the team they did tonight away from home against other team (sic), they will be found out.
"They are far too open. Yaya Toure, as the holding midfielder, won't get around enough against decent teams.
"West Ham are the perfect team for Manchester City. They played 4-4-2 and were destroyed in midfield.
"Tactically it was a mess."
You could not make it up, fuck all about the Rags failing to win, unable to praise City at all even after that performance, prize cock!!
according to Pat Nevin on the bbc, if it had been any other team, City would have been caught out....what a deuche!
