'Valient'. What game did you watch?

Looked dangerous. Put our bodies on the line.
Valiant.

 

[Whatson]

That's me done.

I cannot keep getting kicked like this week after week.

Only positive was that cheating **** that scored the important equaliser has hopefully got a career threatening injury.

When that is the only positive it is time to quit watching.

We were predictably poor as usual but wishing a career threatening injury on any player is out of order mate.

Quite frankly we deserved nothing from the way we approached that game. Jockeying is not good enough if you want to stop a team playing and defending space against a team like City is not right. We should have been hassling from the word go. Stones defending is woeful and costing us so I believe his head is turned or just maybe lost confidence. My biggest disappointment and probably the most hurtful to us is the loss of form of Lukaku. He is actually playing like he is not bothered.

1st goal - massive deflection.
2nd goal - we all know the ball was out.
3rd goal - Aguero leaning offside.

Any part of the body that you can play the ball with puts you in an offside position, hence he was offside.

Yeah we played badly but the 2 goals shouldn't have stood by the laws of the game. Can't put this on the players or Martinez IMO.

Dynamo Kiev 2.0

 

[lancs blue]

superb intensity followed by phenominal attention together with superb focus led to our 3-1 defeat according to Martinez

 

[Jags..class]

We are not being protected. I knew right away that ball was over the line in real time. Why didn't the ref, he didn't see it, bollocks.

It's not worth investing your life in football until cameras come in, i can take a defeat and the best team wins on the day, but not when decisions keep going against you. You can say this is Martinez fault or blame the players, but football can change in a second. It's hard enough to beat a title chasing team when the ref doesn't make it a fair game. Could be punishment for speaking out against of his friends. If we had a lineman behind the goal, thee would be no choice but to rule it out.

'Valient'. What game did you watch?

Is that a boiler

 

[welshtoffee]

Osman starting , Stones at right back, Kone for Del. El brown shoes completely messed it up tonight. BTW what did Cleverly actually do all match.

 

[Further Harm]

City walloped us tonight. This is the low point of this season.

 

[Darth Vader]

Would drop Baines and Stones in a flash

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Stones at RB, Osman on the left wing and Seamus on the bench. This and subbing off Geri too early left us little chance. RM can do one now IMHO.

At least I can jib off Sky Sports in the morning.

 

[mark warner]

I want to say that City are the costliest squad in the league and so what do you expect, but then think of Leicester and realise you can do lots with good defending and a brave manager.

[Poor language removed] cheats games corrupt

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

He was trying to give lukaku some help, Kone did ok.

Kone holds the ball up well, problem with Del going off is that we lost pace to break away, it was almost like Martinez made those subs to see out a draw.
