Bottled that. Stone waller.

Sissoko needs to play on the center, and be given freedom to float around the wings, not be stuck on the left/right for the 90 mins. But that's not exactly going to happen seeing that we have 20 center midfielders and Townsend is our only actual option on the flanks. Cash in on Moussa in the summer (if we survive) and sign a proper player on the left.

Sissoko needs to stop running with the ball, then stopping when he's confronted with a defender and kicking the ball against their shins. He has zero end product.

As much as I dislike West Ham, I would love a top four of Tottenham, Leicester, West Ham and Southampton.

Did tv cut away from the lone pitch invader after Mitro's goal by the way? If it did you all missed an incredible Thesz press.

[Lineker]

Making Bournemouth look silly. Their full backs are virtually non existent.

lol Forlan and Falcao.

Love the fact Souness, Redknapp and Quinn were all whining pre game, saying Rashford shouldn't be playing so many games.

Michael Oliver continues his fine tradition of getting every single big decision wrong in every game he referees.

[Baddar]

It's disappointing because if City go on to win this, LVG will just point to the penalty decision and say it would have been different at 2-0.

Well yeah - but he'd be right?

[Baddar]

Just fed up of excuses tbh. 

[Whisper]

I get that - but being denied a stonewall pen to go 2 up right on half time is a fairly valid 'excuse'.

Hell, it's water-tight compared to Louis' usual spiel.

[MDK]

Some suicidal defending by City there. Hart is going off injured which would normally be bad, but it does mean it is the return of Willy!

They've got Willy out!

He did the league cup final and I thought he had a good game.

[The Lusophone]

Demichelis basically injuring Hart there...

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

And THREE! Simple rebound for Eriksen. Love it that Eriksen, Alli, Lamela and Kane are always so quick to have a lovely cuddle together.

[The Lusophone]

United's best player on the pitch Demichellis comes off for Wilfried Bony.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Ugh, Wimmer's broken. Rumours are that Vertonghen may be available for the Liverpool game though at least.

 

Hooray! Superhuman recovery!

[Baddar]

Still not entirely convinced by Lingard as a long term starter.

[The Lusophone]

We definitely need a second. Can see City scoring before the end.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

What are the stats on Man City's season since Guardiola was announced for next season?

 

 

EDIT: Oh wait, since 1st Feb they have....

Won 2 in the league, lost 3, drawn 1 and are losing today.

[The Lusophone]

They've also lost 5-1 to Chelsea in the FA Cup and beat Liverpool on penalties in the Carling Cup final.

[Baddar]

Definitely see City scoring here.
