I think we've slightly out played City overall but the difference is they are more clinical than us

The bit of extra quality that having a billionaire owner can buy. Not unhappy with this first half performance, not out of this by any stretch

Yep. And again just then. Ball down the line was the obvious play there but he preferred to play it backwards and inside instead.

Many times. Inside into a tight space. Backwards. Anywhere than Djenepo unless there's no other option. It completely nullifies our left side.

Come on Tella.

Get Walcott up top then!

Ralph said last week that Tella is probably better as a no.9 rather than a no.10...

well, that's our run done then. nice while it lasted.

You'd expect to lose against City. Most teams would say that. No reason we can't bounce back. We've played well today so far. Not over yet :)

Ralph might as well bring Diallo on for Romeu at half time. (a) so he can get a bit of game time alongside JWP and (b) because we surely can't continue with both our midfield enforcers on yellows? Our game plan relies on conceding yellows in the middle of the park where necessary...

Annoying. Citeh not really deserving of their lead and Dean showing ridiculous bias towards them.

Gonna be one of those games where we will get robbed and the press will jerk themselves off about how good Citeh are to overcome a tough test.

Tough game from now. And both center mids on yellows. Not going well.

Cut our losses and bring JWP off? Can’t afford for both him and Romeu to miss Fulham.

Dean is dreadful, his Tranmere supporting hides his awe of Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs. No wonder Ralph fuming. Cancelo lack of a yellow card a pathetically weak decision, or lack of one. Brown-nosing Pep.
 

Hope Ings just precaution, opportunity for Tella to counter at their back line. Adams should have scored and Vesty got his header on target although has a very good game so far. Get Redmond on for Djenepo, has been very poor. Walcott superb and KWP good game,

We don't deserve to be losing this - we've had far more chances than them, their quality showing in taking their best chance.

I'm wondering what it is that is preventing Dean from getting his yellow out for man city players (except de bruyne) - another biased to the big boys performance so far.

We are doing well so far, been the better side in the 1st half. We gave away a soft goal in a 5 minute spell. Aside from that we been the better team. Massive blow losing Ings, hope its not too bad. Theo been best player on the pitch. Mike Dean is just a complete waste of space. Didn't book Cancelo for a blatant foul on Theo, but books Prowsey for the first challenge he makes. How was that not a penalty on Ings too, they didn't even look at it!

Come on lads let's get back into this in the 2nd half :)

Playing well, just got done by a quick move and decent finish.

Unfortunately we're sat in front of the one bloke in the stadium who can't stop moaning. Otherwise the fans have been really positive which is how it should be considering we're having a damn good season.
