21 shots versus 3 isn't "close".

Because we get zero points, players have had their cup final. RM will be smug as a bug and then we'll get mullered by Everton.

6 mins? Seems a lot

It's not just about today. It's accumulated frustration from previous winnable games wasted by idiotic tactics. Despite improvement today is still 0 points.

Can't wait for the after game presser. How many times will Martin say he's so proud of the players and how brave they have been.

He could brave himself into a climax

Downes injury and a shed load of subs I guess

If it stays 1-0 it is a result we would have all grabbed before the game

[Edmonton Saint]

Most teams would be throwing the kitchen sink at it and having ago. We’re still content to pass it around aimlessly amongst our defence.  This system is garbage .

Correct, but make no mistake, a comprehensive 1-0.

Why's that matter? No-one goes to Man City and goes toe to toe with them. It's 1-0, that makes the game as close as it could be in a loss.

[Mr X]

Seems like we had a game plan to keep the scoreline down today but no game plan to win the game!

But surely if we see improvement that is a good thing isn't it?

Still losing 2-1.

[saintant]

Propaganda football as opposed to proper football. It might be enough for some which is fair but I expect more from our manager and coaches.

[Disco Stu]

Great goalkeeping from Ramsdale. Imagine if Bazunu was in goal for that 😂

[obelisk]

Pep worried.

[Edmonton Saint]

Last minute free kick and we play it back to Ramsdale

A narrow defeat is the new win for Russell. Well done.

[NewYorkSaint]

My main takeaway. We deserve to stay in the Premier League.  And we will.

[LGTL]

Wolves and Ipswich showing some backbone. 

Meanwhile, Russ gets his hug off Pep and will be delighted with the great big fat 0 points we’ve earnt today. I’ll file this under the “oh weren’t we oh so close” chapter alongside the Newcastle game.

At least we kept ourselves in the game. Always a chance of nicking something in a game when you keep it close, which is more than I expected against City.

[OttawaSaint]

RM celebrating. Zero points cock!

...now...

[Nemi]

We might have lost again but at least we’ll get a complimentary quote from Pep afterwards - that’s better than 3 points isn’t it?

[Disco Stu]

Ipswich concede at the death. 4-3 to Brentford.

[Wade Garrett]

Defended really well.  Well played THB today.

[BranfootsLoveChild]

And Martin keeps his job for another week as we were "brave" against City, who treated it like a training session.

[saintant]

City did the bare minimum and Russ was happy to let them do it.

Absolutely. Totally fucking dull.

I'm sure some will suggest it was a tactical battle, played out within the amazing possession-heavy, modern and interesting style though.

For me: we are just a lifeless, dull, overly-coached team; City were't at their best, didn't get out of second gear and were never really in danger.

They were playing sides not remotely close to Man City in ability.
