Away v Leicester

gavin · December 29, 2015, 19:02:58

City XI: Hart, Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Kolarov, Silva, Fernandinho, Toure, Sterling, De Bruyne, Aguero

Subs: Caballero, Demichelis, Horsfield, Zabaleta, Navas, Bony, Iheanacho

Wilf out Sergio in. Have to say I've not spent the day looking forward to this which is the first time I haven't looked forward to a match for a while. Our recent away performances are beginning to sink in.

Great lÃne up!
Come on City!!!!

Ludo · December 29, 2015, 19:41:43

We're going to have to score plenty.

The Blue Blooded Maniac · December 29, 2015, 19:44:02

As long as we score more than them!

Lekos · December 29, 2015, 20:11:33

Mangala is looking alright tonight (so far). Kolarov looking a bit gash.

The Blue Blooded Maniac · December 29, 2015, 20:21:29

Looking good going forward but on the break we look wide open and one slip from mang or oto and there through on goal

Not far off how it went at Arsenal really. We looked the better team for most of the first half and then looked as if we could fall apart at any moment. Fortunately, Leicester failed to take advantage. Hopefully, we will have more cutting edge second half.

Swiss · December 29, 2015, 20:39:56

Always a 2nd half team...

KunDB · December 29, 2015, 20:45:04

Aguero just lacking his superb match sharpness.

nimrod · December 29, 2015, 20:56:22

doesnt seem long ago Hart & schmikes were fighting for no 1 spot under sven

nimrod · December 29, 2015, 21:13:38

this is shite

they are a long ball team and were playing like more shite

Lekos · December 29, 2015, 21:24:37

Kolarov's crosses tonight have been embarrassing

Lekos · December 29, 2015, 21:27:52

As have Bony's flick ons to no one

nimrod · December 29, 2015, 21:29:33

Nacho to get 90 seconds to change the game.

KunDB · December 29, 2015, 21:34:51

Second half we were poor. Second best to most loose balls, failing to retain possession and failing to clear our lines when needed, and lacking clear chances.

Subs were poor, very poor. Not at all a convincing display.

Bony is useless and Kelechi should be used more.

gavin · December 29, 2015, 21:36:34

Not great.

I'll flip that around a little, first clean sheet in x amount of games against the joint top scorers in the league.

We did create a few chances, despite Howard Webb saying no pen, I'm convinced it was.

We should have had a few more free kicks go our way too.
