A proper coach would have advised his players to watch Rodri on the edge of the area as 500 previous goals scored from there would attest to. It was a lucky ricochet to get there There was little we did wrong for the goal. Great hit. Point was fair. Which showed how well we did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fowler Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 3 minutes ago, Ham said: Great that Chelsea haven't ruined my Saturday and that Spurs lost. Why oh why, though, can't we get out of 10th?!?!? Because we have hard fixtures now where we won’t get many points even if we play ok and we have fluffed too many easy ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud-Blue Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Hanging out with City fans and staff right now, they're behaving like they lost. They seem to be crushed. If this is what they're like after a draw I can't imagine what it's like when they lose. Wouldn't last five minutes if they were Chelsea fans! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mudryk and Madueke with their pace would have given City more to worry about than Casedei and Trevoh but I'm not an inate coward. Bringing on an extra defender made absolute sense. Extra height defending all of the corners they were getting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which showed how well we did. The point I'm making is Rodri does this exact thing every week, why didn't we have some one marking him or closing him down? Stop the shot, stop the deflection. It was still an excellent performance from the players regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd25 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I just hope that Haaland and Doku manage to find their way out of Disasi and Gusto’s pockets later. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That deflected shot was very well saved He had a dodgy moment where he hesitated and then missed his punch and a few poor passes, but overall he was solid again, made some good saves. Definitely ahead of Sanchez for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that basis no player should score a goal, ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguelito07 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) Didnt think we would get anything from the game - so I would have taken a point if offered beforehand. Yes, we were winning till the 80th and Poch went defensive but I think it was inevitable that they were going to score. ....and we desperately need a striker Edited February 17 by Miguelito07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay but at some point if we want to finish in Europe we need to win more PL games. I am also happy with a point but we simply have not got 3 points enough this season. That’s why we’re 10th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holymoly Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Holy crap. Are we actually beginning to see progress? If we had scored that second goal I think we would have ended up winning. On the flip side Haaland might have scored a hattrick and Chalobah might have ended up with two deflected goals. On balance I would have taken a draw however what killed our win in the end was the lack of a bench. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
