Great game for the neutrals and great display by City. We were very unlucky not to get something from that game, hopefully we can play like that against Fulham.
Can you imagine how good we'd be with a Proper decent striker like Long? Danny Graham is getting a tiny bit better but he really didn't do much again today. Just seemed to slow the play down every time. Passing it back. Taking three hours to turn. . And he made a mess of his header. Get a decent Striker in for Graham and we'll be seriously decent and stay up easily.
What REALLY pisses me off about Graham is that he's leaving soon in a few months and he ain't a ****ing goal threat. So why not play another striker that isn't much of a threat... but at least we own the player! Gedo, Prozzy or Fryatt at this rate. Even if they won't also be there next season, I don't see what Graham is doing to justify keeping them out. Sagbo is the only consistent force up front. Bruce should be rotating his partner.
That's a pretty good summary. I thought we deserved a point. At least we seemed to have a lot more chances and shots than we normally do. Bruce was immense. Man U are a bunch of dirty diving twats. De Gea was important for them today. I don't understand why we appear to throw the ball back in...and the other team get it, like 90% of the time. Is that in my head?
A shame that none of those pinball efforts sat up nicely. Got a bit lucky with the lead up to the first goal. Had enough chances to get something from that game but at 2-2 thought we were gonna get mullered. If only Bruce's header had gone in, we would have had them chasing the game. Good couple of finishes from Chester. Just wish he could have got the hat-trick at the end.
Good display by the Tigers ,just a little lacking in composure in front of goal.Pity McGregor had to be substituted we needed another substitution up front for Graham in the last 15 mins or so .I thought we had a better balance once Meyler was substituted but Chester wasn't comfortable at left back. Bruce was unlucky he hit the woodwork ,that could have made a huge switch in the momentum of the game and given us at least the point we deserved.
100% agree. The absolute end for me was Graham's weak header directly into De Gea's arms. The camera caught SB slamming his water bottle into the turf after that. Graham must be benched and another decision has to be made for Fulham on Saturday: for me, I want to see Gedo get the start with Sagbo.
I would prefer to see Sagbo in the positions Graham and Chester were in at the end of the game. He would have buried at least one of them. Bruce needs to get Graham doing the dirty work that Sagbo has to do to get the ball into the box. Then Sagbo should be waiting for the chances Graham currently gets. At the moment we're using a goal scorer to feed a non-goal scorer.
