Great effort but feel we should have went for it a bit more in the last twenty minutes, city are too good. Virginia Godfrey and Gomes brilliant. Gotta give everything to get top seven now. If we miss Europe this season will be very gutting

 

[Richard Alex]

I thought we played well tonight against probably the best team in Europe
Ball retention wasn’t great at times but we lack genuine pace on the wings to try and stretch city but we all know that.
Defensively we were excellent and 2-0 was unjust.
Thought the keeper, Mina, Godfrey, Gomes and DCL were excellent
Shame really

Their money and quality showed in the end but a good performance on the whole , Virginia MOM for me

 

[Johnniepk]

They brought on debruyne and mahrez. Ancelotti had nothing to change the game available. Threadbare in the cupboard of quality

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Good effort blues....City will likely win everything this season...we hung in there for most of the game and with a bit of luck could have pulled off a result...but jeez they're bring on Debruyne and Mahrez to inject even more quality into their team as we start to tire...

 

[Rugby Toffee]

A decent battling display. We didn't roll over. The gulf in class was evident though , but the lads can hold their heads up.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Playing Man City is farcical. They are so financially doped, everyone is reduced to giving up the ball and praying for a breakaway goal.

 

[Frenk]

I really hope we are going to back Ancelotti in the transfer market this summer, otherwise what’s the point in having him.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Unsure about that pal his foot was head high, okay he pulled out, but the damage was done, it put Mina off his header and that then becomes a foul.

I know VAR is a joke and biased etc but I truly believe it would have ruled the goal out if there was anything in it.

Either way no shame losing to that lot and we showed some big positives in the loss

 

[peteblue]

We played well, the keeper did a good job and made the saves, ultimately they just reacted quicker than we did for the goal. That and the fact they had De Bruyne on the bench.....

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Spirited effort but ultimately fell short again,we definitely need to beef up our bench, injuries/suspensions will always happen,but we look so limited currently.

 

[kev101]

Gutted, but think we did ok, considering..

 

[Blunatic]

Are you ok???

no im annoyed at "fans" that sit there moaning about our defending when we've defended brilliantly and got a little unlucky.

 

[Bilbo]

Nobody can stop City, we did well tonight.
