Bloody Arsenal let us down..was expecting ManU to drop at least 2 points. We just don't seem to get away from that lot from Trafford. We need to win tonight to get back to 8 points again in case they beat us next week away at their place..which is a definite possibility.

Just one of those days!

 

Have you seen the stats on the game BB. De Gea had the best game by a goalie in the EPL since the the stats programme started.

 

Arsenal:

 

76% posession

36 goal attempts

15 on target

12 corners (Man U 1)

 

An average performance by the gk and it would have been a comfortable Arsenal 5-3 win.

 

I'm no great lover of Arsenal after what the club did to my friend and Rooney's uncalled for celebration turned me off Man U for 20 years. But this was a remarkable, renegade result. A real odd-ball of a game (reminded me of Greece winning the Euro Cup).

 

As for next week's game. The best Utd can hope for is a 0-0.

 

I reckon that City will be 20 points ahead of Utd at the end of the season.

Gotta be damage control mode for Moyes today. I see cricket scores if not and a P45 as early as tomorrow. West ham are blatantly seeking a new boss already and will look to cut ties very very soon.

Joleon Lescott reveals he is back at Manchester City in a new role.

Lescott revealed that he is helping out youngsters who are dispatched on loan across Europe, and is now playing his part in the development of young players at Manchester City, the club where he contributed to so much success.

“Yeah, that’s an exciting role. I’m working with the lads who are on loan, currently there’s around 30 players,” Lescott said.“They’re between the ages of 18 and 23. Well, with the exception of Joe Hart – he’s not 23 (laughs).”

It's just like Huddersfield and Southampton game...11man defence..frustrating. think all the lower teams will do this now. City have done nothing. Hammers exploited City's weakness and scored a good goal: corners. That 11 is poor..we've been poor for the last 3 games..We're officially struggling.

[Bredbury Blue]

I'd like Pep to be brave and put Fernandinho and jesus on for Danilo and Mangala and play 3 at the back...now! But don't think Pep is brave enough unlike Maureen.

I'm enjoying this one.

Delph is a diving <deleted>

[Bredbury Blue]

Phew.
Amazing come back .
Didn't see that happening..I'm very impressed...again. Déjà vu weekly.
Brilliant 2nd goal..kdb to silva.
I think when you win you do get a bit of luck..but we changed it in the 2nd half with the substitutions and had more intensity and balance.
We needed to go in to next week 8 points ahead and if we lose we still have a big 5 point lead and better goal difference.
Screaming for Pep to take off sterling who was bobbins. Delph excellent again in 2 positions. Sane was good as was Ederson..the rest below par. We found a way.
Will Maureen go for it?

No you had to change your shorts at half time and again right at the end.

Breaking down those gutless <deleted> was tough going, but Mr. Silva pulls one out of the fire !

Explain Bob.

Delph made a horrific dive for the free kick on the edge of the area that was quickly followed by the goal.

You mean your threadbare opponents who can't afford a decent manager?

 

You should be lending them a striker!

You don't sub a player who scores that many winning goals in the last few mins of games.

Yeah he's a crap, dull manager.

They need a decent striker also, they struggle to score goals.....except the game where they put three past Spurs at Wembley.

Well done City. Head and shoulders above anything else in the Prem and a pleasure to watch.

You're sounding like Andy Gray Bob. If a defender goes in like that, any opponent will go down.

 

Funny how nobody is mentioning that dirty git who put his studs down the back of Ederson's leg

Who’s Andy Gray Bob? ?

He never touched him, I could have driven a bus between them...

Fortunately Delph saw the incoming leg breaker and took evasive action

[Bredbury Blue]

I lost picture but not sound on BEin at the start of the game so had to switch to Sky. Did Zaba get a great reception? Love that man.

Word out that Silva picked up a knock and is questionable for the match with United. Get your prayers in early and often.

[Bredbury Blue]

Ederson, Danilo, Mangala, Adarabioyo, Fernandinho (c), Foden, Yaya Toure, Gundogan, Bernardo, Sane, G Jesus

Subs: Bravo, Walker, Sterling, Aguero, Otamendi, Duhaney, Diaz

Fernandinho playing a delph role on the right with Danilo left? Yaya anchoring midfield flanked by Gundogan and Banana Silva? Foden in Sterling's position?

Adarabioyo, Foden, Duhaney and Diaz!

[Bredbury Blue]

Well the result of the changes and playing people out of position is we've been awful, like a bunch of strangers, and we're doing well to keep it 0v2 down. And I travelled home 13 hours to watch this bobbins.

[Bredbury Blue]

NOT expecting a comeback today...no one playing well.

Be a touch if dortmund, city and Sevilla all won tho.

Bossed the 2nd half but it wouldn't go in until Aguero's extra time penalty. Horrible 1st half, decent 2nd half but left ourselves too much to do. Keep your eyes on 18yr old Brahim Diaz, he looks very good.

Will he be playing for Watford next season then?
