You didn’t catch the snide “City fans have finally found their voices” comment, then?

Yep, you could hear them quite often so was a bit surprised by his comment (nah not really).

Jeeez talk about an over reaction - it's in our hands! beat Villa and its done. They also play Thursday night btw against a Burnley team who are fighting.

I'd have took a point before the game. West Ham are a decent team. However, after the first half I'd say the point is fantastic.

Just watching the replay and Cresswell was encroaching as the ball was struck, so the penalty should have been retaken, as he then cleared the rebound. Still, VAR were never going to give us 2 decisions, let alone the 3 they should have!

Hard to know how to feel, pleased with a point from 2-0 down, disappointed that we’ve let it slip with yet another missed penalty at a crucial time. Defensively we looked all over the show at times and I guess were fortunate not to concede a third. Got to turn up and show our mettle against Villa on Sunday cos whatever Gerrard says, he’ll be desperate to help Liverpool.

Cant play that back four against Villa

You can’t, but he fucking will.

Zero subs today. Just utterly bizarre.

I can. He missed a penalty. One that would have effectively won us the League. People are naturally disappointed and venting. It wasn’t a great penalty.

Added to that he was anonymous for most of the match and did sod all defensively. He is a luxury player that has some sublime skill but frankly, across all seasons he has been with us if you were to assess him objectively he’s not quick, can only play one position and is the worst defensive player of anyone else in our team.

Strange game to play him in today,

Obviously disappointed after the draw, but only because of the penalty miss. Good response from City in the 2nd half. Glad we got a point after being 2 down. Let's hope Southampton play well on Tuesday.

At this stage of the season have to view that as one point gained. However, with the penalty miss it's also hard not to see it as 2 points dropped. It's still in our own hands which is all you can ask for. Come on City!!!!

You could also say when ferna passed it back to the West Ham player, he should have scored, we did well to get the point and we are still in pole position

Not sure why so much negativity on here.. I’m in a much brighter mood than I was an hour ago!

Totally agree but I think people are cursing how we managed to let two in, in the first half and then fail to pick up the three points because of a missed penalty.

All in all I would have taken a draw at the start (as I predicted) and definitely would have at half time, though I did think we might win it from then. TBF I wasn't really fazed at the half, something inside of me said we weren't going to lose,
