[KunDB]

C'mon City

[KunDB]

 CITY SUBS | Caballero, Kompany, Zabaleta, Nolito, Kolarov, Fernando, Aguero

Naughty boy Aguero dropped. Pep takes no shit.

Kompany on bench.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Three at the back eh? This should be interesting.

[KunDB]

Pep is full of tactics and invention.

[KunDB]

What a waste of a golden opportunity.

We are sorely lacking the final pass.

[gavin]

How can pro footballers be so bad at penalties? We played well for first half an hour.

[KunDB]

Super sub on.

[KunDB]

Same old - Everton one attack and one nil lead.

[KunDB]

When will Kun learn to vary his penalties, stop the staggered run and stop. Not everytime.

[KunDB]

Nod it in Nolito yessssssssssssss

[gavin]

Sickening. Two great players can't score a penalty between them.  Proper pissed off.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Yeah - I'm pissed off too. Wouldn't have minded the draw as much, but not after the loss to Spuds. We should have won here. Shockingly bad penalties - De Bruyne almost tried to curl his in  . I suspect Pep will be giving this his 'full attention' this week!

Everton defended very well to give them their due, but there's no question they were very lucky to get the point - not just with the penalty saves, but every thing just fell freakishly right for them when they scored.

We played very well, but go a little ragged in the second half and our passing deteriorated. Few clear cut chances after that.

Nice to see Kompany play a few minutes without getting injured.

Shouldn't the penalties have been retaken as the goalkeeper came off his line as the ball is kicked?
Frustrating stuff this game would be more irritated if there hadn't been so many goal attempts

[shandon]

Goalkeepers almost always come off the line early for penalties these days.

yup so time it was picked up

[Neil Mcnab]

Penalty practice needed. The result was the major thing and its two points dropped at home.

[bluebrendan]

Both penalties were poor - nice height for the keeper and not much power and in Aguero's case not much direction either. I said at the stadium that I'd have Nacho taking the first one, he was the best finisher on the pitch at the time and he's taken pens before. It looks as though the missed pens are now playing on Sergio's mind, Pep needs to have a good think about who takes the next one.

Two points thrown away from a match we dominated, as well as the pens our crossing was generally poor apart from Silva's for the goal - also Stones and Clichy can't escape criticism for their goal.
