West Ham United (A) | Post-Match Thread

Injuries to City have gone under the radar of the media. Barely any mention on sky.

You surely can't be surprised .

Now if the dippers were playing under similar circumstances.........................

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Peps ability too overthink things, alongside me being an old fart and having seen so many turning points in football, I fear that we are sleep walking into giving up a 15point lead , and the irony of us celebrating 10 years of 93:20 is haunting me. I'm worried that the numbness we felt on the morning after the RM game is gonna strike again next week and having followed the Blues for 50+ years that "good old City" feeling is gonna give us many more sleepless nights. We all remember when KK's Newcastle were 12 points clear and that didn't end well.
Let us hope Southampton can get summat on Tuesday so I can at least get some sleep before next Sunday.

That non penalty for Jesus first half was disgraceful
VAR isn’t fit for use if they don’t give that

 

[Millennium]

Ederson might suit City style of play because he is ball playing keeper, but he is not a reliable goalkeeper when it comes to shot stopping and eliminating threats from crosses. That is why we concede goals most of the times from the first chances.

 

[Cobwebcat]

What a performance, played em off the park and got done by two breakaway goals but still had the bottle to fight back like that. What a fucking team we have, amazing team spirit.

THAT’S WHY WE’RE CHAMPIONS

Yeah!

 

[RayCTID]

But we have....His name is Erling.....just have to wait a bit.

Haaland is brilliant but the only slight is that Haaland wasn't Dortmund's regular penalty taker.

 

[mccity]

Villa is quite similar to West Ham stylistically which worries me.

But they're not remotely similar though. West Ham have a very unique playstyle under Moyes.

 

[Dubai Blue]

Fuck me, there's some wet arses in here. We missed a penalty. Get over it and move on. Could have been a lot worse

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

It is straight forward really. Once again we were gifted an opportunity to wrap up the league. Once again we didn’t take it. How many times do we have to keep Liverpool in this title race?

We play like that against Villa and we won’t win the league because players like Coutinho and Watkins will have a field day against this defence.

Hopefully we will have Ake fit, and not have to rely on Fernandinho at the back.

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

We assume a Liverpool win against Southampton, naturally, while believing that Villa will turn into world-beaters against us - City fans in a nutshell.

Absolutely, but who can blame them? Afterall we just blew away our cl final spot out of no where so its natural to have that fear in back of your mind and yes villa are not world beaters but they certainly are a decent team and far better than what Qpr was. It won't be easy till its over either way

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Because they've fucked up 3 times in the past month?

Bit fucking pathetic that.

.

You can blame Mahrez all you want but the truth is we are not that great at penalties. Mahrez has missed them, KDB has missed them, Sterling has missed them, Gundogan has missed them. Mahrez is the designated penAlty taker at the moment. He just got unlucky today. It wasn’t really a poor penalty but I was a good save.

Agree in general but the height was perfect for any goalie that guesses the right way.

 

[Pedestrian]

As I replied to you earlier, we don't know who might be carrying injuries and Pep did not wish to risk them .

Are you mad. That game needed fresh legs at half time never mind at 2-2. Was the whole bench injured. Stupid to not make changes. Puts more pressure on the players that played today and will play villa.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

I'm not paid hundreds of thousands to miss penalties. At least I'd score.

So why arent you earning hundreds of thousands of pounds and scoring penalties for City ?

 

[Octavian]

Villa are shite

 

[hilts]

It was a fucking terrible penalty what the fuck were you watching!

No it wasn't, maybe chill a bit.

 

[omcfc]

No idea how to feel about that.
After being 2-0 down I'd have bitten your hand off for 2-2 but knowing we missed a golden chance for 2-3 feels awful given the context.

Looking back when we were 11 points ahead, albeit with them having a game in hand, it should have been over. But here we are. Let's see what happens on Tuesday, Southampton may have a say yet. Come on City.

 

[RayCTID]

Not only Liverpool have to win but they have to chase for goals.

8 trophies in 5 seasons says you’re foolish

Wow, this thread has prompted an incredible increase to my ignore list.

We're approaching matchday thread levels of fuckwittery.

It does sort the wheat from the chaff, a bit like the matchday thread
