City v boro

[Swiss]

Looks as though we've gone for a strong attacking line up!

City XI: Bravo, Zabaleta (C), Sterling, Agüero , De Bruyne,  Sané, Silva, Clichy, Stones, Otamendi, Toure

Subs: Caballero, Fernando, Nolito, Kolarov, Delph, Fernandinho, Iheanacho

[gavin]

Very strong side. Could be said it is the side that should have played in midweek. Come on City.

[KunDB]

Except Bravo

[Gareth]

Ok, 1-0, now let's make sure...

[KunDB]

Sublime Yaya pass and superb goal

[Rowley Birkin QC]

I see the cynical fouling has begun early....

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Bravo saved something! (With a bit of help from Zab)

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Uh oh.. here comes the Beast.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

I'm not surprised no one has much to say at half time. That was dog shit.

[KunDB]

Bravo saved something! (With a bit of help from Zab)

Put another way Bravo fails to save a shot yet again.

[KunDB]

Stones has been good which makes me wonder whatever happened to Lee.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Put another way Bravo fails to save a shot yet again.

Err... that was kinda my point! He did manage one proper save after that.

[gavin]

Sometimes it is like we don't want to score those chances. The lads just don't seem to make the commitment to get on the end of things.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

It's all way too casual.

[gavin]

It is fucking ridiculous the chances we miss. Shocking.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Finally. How long did that fucking take.

[gavin]

Hallelujah

[KunDB]

In 60 years supporting City I cannot recall a City goalie as poor as Bravo.

[gavin]

Nice, comfortable win in the end. On to Wembley.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

How many freak'in shots on goal did we have!?

[Ludo]

We really need to be more clinical in front of goal.

With all Silva's ability he really shouldn't be so poor on his right foot and the same could be said for Sane.

[goat]

so unlike the city strikers i didnt miss anything eh

[Neil Mcnab]

Decent result, boro gave it a go, but not all out. Sane may have faults, but is already looking like he could be a galactico, though a Citeh version, not a Madrid one.  At 21 he has many years to improve.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Pah! I always want revenge for all those 1990's defeats and embarrassments! I wanted us to hand them their arses back on a silver platter! Even more so when some of those Boro 'tackles' started flying in.

That should have been 6 or 7 - 0. Both Sane and Silva could have had hat tricks - and Sterling should have got at least one.

[lee]

Stones has been good which makes me wonder whatever happened to Lee.
