‘If’ being the key word!!

We’d have an absolutely brilliant history if a lot of things had happened instead of the way they actually went but they don’t they always turn out the same way. Away from home at the sky six under Moyes we dont score those chances.

I’d love to be proven wrong and we go and win at Old Trafford or at Spurs. But I’d also wager a large amount of money that we’ll just get rolled over for a very comfortable three points both times.

did we roll over today?

Seen this same game a hundred times.

Very tired of us writing these games off.

We didn’t write it off. We played very well for nearly an hour and could easily have been ahead. City are just good at football.

Garner was a tramp

I thought he was decent. There's a reason he was left on even though he had a booking.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

It’s a game of outcomes. There’s literally zero point ‘troubling’ teams if you don’t put the ball in the net.

Outcomes are determined by performances. That was a much better performance than most of our away games at City. We leave with no points but the performance was very good for an hour.

And we've seen this playbook a hundred times.

Most other teams can nick a win now and then against these sides away. Not us.

Still have seen that a hundred times.

There's some jibbering idiot on the call in, he's trying to sell all our decent players. Aren't they supposed to filter out the pish takers? Dullard.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

Which should account for most results but not all. Our record at all of these grounds is absolutely abysmal but teams like Brentford Palace Bournemouth can pick up wins no problem.

City lose on average two home games a season.

your chatting poo mate
and anyone else making out we rolled over or writ it off

Stop watching then. That was a very good performance for an hour. The tactics were spot on and we should have scored a couple of goals.

 

[Cels]

Erling Haaland has terrorised far better Premier League defences than ours since he joined Man City, and will continue to do so. The difference in the second half was that City changed their style of play.

 

[Saint Domingo]

did we roll over today?

Playing ok until you concede a goal and then making no real effort to get back into the game is kind of rolling over.

 

[NewRadical]

We didn't play badly but I never thought we would score and that's more than just a striker issue.

There were excuses made on commentary on why our penalty appeal was right not to be granted because it was accidental, but similar accidental handballs are given for certain teams/reasons. Same goes for Haaland's petulant push off the ball, it was a nothing but other players and teams would be punished. It probably wouldn't have made much difference to the result today but the bias is tiresome.
