Brave decision from Pellers i.e. Kompany but the right one.

[Lekos]

Ta la

[Lekos]

Silva really does need to start shooting more

[goat]

bit shit again

[Lekos]

Yup

[clevblue]

Silva and Bony might change things, that's the only time I've seen us goal side of a red shirt tonight, something has to change

[goat]

Silva really does need to start shooting more

2 yards far enough?

[Zabba]

Really needed that break.

[Swiss]

That's determination for you!

[Lekos]

Silva really does need to start shooting more

2 yards far enough?

Yeah, that that'll do

[Rowley Birkin QC]

We look a little better against a side determined to defend and spoil, but it's not exactly flowing is it?

Blue shirts not quite in tune with each other and the occasional grumpy player debate going on when moves break down.

[ebm1991]

Bony playing for feck sake

[ebm1991]

Navas & Silva playing well!

[goat]

bony trying too hard, considering the lack of effort by a load lately its a slightly better problem

[Zabba]

We are a disjointed team again. Lucky to be ahead.

[ebm1991]

Silva. Class.

[ebm1991]

Why take off our best player?

[Zabba]

Aguero leads the line brillantly.

[goat]

Why take off our best player?

because he is made of glass

[clevblue]

not brilliant but it'll do, a win's a win

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Not bad - a wins is a win as clev says, and some good individual performances from the likes of Navas and Aguero.

We had too much quality for them in the end but still a few too many shaky moments. No idea what to expect next.

[goat]

a few goals against the shit would have been handy for the goal difference but ill take what we can get now

[Ludo]

We're still a long way from inspiring confidence.

[lee]

boring and dogshit...zzz

[Zabba]

Kompany, Zabaleta and Dzeko on bench, Nasri confirmed fit but not even on bench, Fernandinho not on bench. What should we read into that.

I think Pelle has finally shown he has balls and is cracking the whip finally dropping underperformers and sending a clear warning to players.

Milner is so hard done by never starting even with 5 changes, it bewilders me.

if on fire fox get adbock plus and adblock plus popup addon and you wont get any ads.

[gavin]

Top tech advice there from Bry.

Another pretty poor performance from City tonight. Really we could well have drawn that game. The atmosphere and crowd was poor. The atmosphere between certain players in the City team didn't seem too great either. Not a happy camp.

[Ludo]

Just noticed Aguero's reaction just prior to the first goal, not good.

[Zabba]

I assume you are referring to Aguero making a run but Yaya did not pass to him. Sergio stopped dead hands on hip shaking head while play went on. Sergio could have carried on into box but didn't watching instead.

Something not right.

[Ludo]

Yes and yes.

[Lekos]

There was a similar situation with Silva and Aguero.  Silva mistimed a through ball, or Aguero misread the play.  Either way they ended up having a bit of a go at each other.   

[Lekos]

Anyway, 3 points and another 9 should be the target from our next 3 league games.

[zacc]

why do City do everything the hard way?

[Swiss]

bony trying too hard, considering the lack of effort by a load lately its a slightly better problem

My thoughts too, but it feels like he's already shown a better touch and an ability to hold the ball better then Dzeko. He's just snatching at chances atm.

Good, shows a bit of passion. I wouldn't mind a few on field arguments

[Neil Mcnab]

The Foxes were due two penalties, we were lucky to come away with a win. The performance was very disappointing against the team propping up the league.
Yes Bony was trying, refreshing change to some of his established colleagues. He is a great signing and will do great things for us.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

First 'penalty' was very soft - went down way too easily, but I certainly thought Leicester were hard done by on the second shout. The offence took place at least on the line if not in the box - so the Foxes should have had one penalty. Ref bottled that one.

[bry the guy]

I thought the first was stone wall and the 2nd was a tangle if legs but both could have been given,

[Swiss]

The first? Bony? One angle shows the player trailing his leg behind and then going down. Not a pen for me but I wouldn't have been surprised to see it given.

Second? Was that the one where the ref gave afoul on the edge of the box? Missed the replay on that but yer, looked as though the fox player was inside but ours outside...

Third? The Hart diving save? Def not a pen that one.
