A very good point considering two penalties saved and the pressure City applied.

We have something resembling a defence forming there.
This defence wouldn't include Jags (conceeded 2 pens) Oviedo (had a new one ripped for him most of the afternoon)
Just back from the match, made up with a point, Stekelenberg was truly awesome and Chico is on a wind-up. Happy days

We just came back from away to a fired up City with a point and the defence didn't play well?

I have nothing more to add your honour.
 

Jags was definitely not immense, but hard to disagree with the rest.

I think he was in the context of the defence acting as a team.

Today was the first time in what 3.5 years I've seen the defence working as a unit. It was immense to see, we kept fantastic shape despite being pulled all over the show by an extremely impressive Manchester City.

The work load was tremendous but best of all was how we defended as a team. Today we really saw what Koeman is going to bring to this club over the next three years. With additions and replacements for the obvious weak links we are going places.

We may have ridden our luck at times today but that was one hell of a performance and augers well for the future.
 

Under normal circumstances it would be Williams who magnificent today, such desire not to concede. But has to be Stekkers, without him we could have been thumped and his performance clearly inspired others in front of him.
