Decent comeback but then Mahrez shit the bed again for the pen.

suppose the best you can say is it didn't go into orbit this time but the net result is still the same, no goal.

Definitely need Dias...we genuinely look so vulnerable and lost without him...Ederson..well he rarely 'saves" anything in all honesty.. real problem for a top team. Nick Pope for me

[yeah whatever !!]

So? If we dont finish on the same points it doesnt matter. Just win our game.

Liverpool can win 200-0 in their last 2 games.. If city win 1-0 the titles ours.

sounds so much better that way.

Fuck me that was stressful. My smart watch messaged me in the 2nd half to say I had unusually high stress levels. Great character shown in coming back from 2-0 down

Are you seriously saying that you don’t think that game needed foden?

You seem to be putting words in my mouth pal

Hopefully when we start wanging in the crosses Mr H will bury them. Crying out a few times today for a big old centre forward.

Feel sick as a dog after that I had a weird feeling Mahrez was going to miss the pen. But we’ll played to the team to come back from two down against the hammers at their ground is a good result we was a lot better second half. Before the start of the season we would of taken winning the league at home on the last game of season we just have to go and do it now come in the blues.

Weird feeling = watching City for a long time

Not resorting to childish abuse like you .

You actually know nothing about the circumstances yet persist in stamping your feet like a petulant child , because somebody disgrees with you.

Have a lovely evening.

It’s a valid point & in all fairness Mahrez’s recent pen record for us has been good.

However, what baffles me is for all our wonderful, talented players why do they all struggle at pens.

For a perfectionist that is Pep I’m sure this must drive him mad behind closed doors.

I personally would lock all our allocated pen takers in a summer camp for a month & force them to practice pens in front of a small live crowd to recreate some sort of match day atmosphere. Practice makes perfect :-)

Yes to this. I’m pretty sure I once heard Pep say we don’t practice penalties. He could have been taking the interviewers chain but I think that’s what he said.

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

Our record against Villa at home is excellent. QPR also had something to play for where as Villa don’t. We don’t beat Villa at home we don’t deserve to be champions.
