How's that a corner then? Just because Silva pointed to it? Nearly cost us then, Johnson did well to keep it off the line. Nearly got them on the counter again!
Top half. A couple of shaky moments, but look dangerous every time we attack. Wouldn't surprise me if Aguero is on at half time though.
Can't complain at that half. But can we keep playing at this pace. Can see them coming back into it second half so may have to bring on Lucas to tighten things up and lose Coutinho
We look up for it, I wouldn't change a thing until about 60 minutes in. Cou is having a great game, bringing on Lucas could allow them to get into it. They can't deal with pace at the moment, Lucas slows down play (in a good way, most of the time).
Sheer adrenaline will keep us going from now until the end of the season I think. Players should be able to put 100% in for the last remaining 5 games. If they're ****ed for the WC so be it, don't think Gerrard would allow any of them to start slacking off.
Sterling poss best player in the league at the moment. Next goal crucial. Sturridge needs to turn up. Give him 20 min then take him off. Bring on Lucas play sterling off Suarez.
We gave them the initiative in the last 15 minutes. Fine relying on the counter but we need to be positive. Why are we whistling when they have the ball?
Great so far. 2 nil is fair. We could have scored more but city could easily have nabbed one too. Sturridge looks like he's brought his west ham form to today's game. He's sloppy. And cou needs to at least shoot on target!! But those are my only gripes. Come on you red men!
I think game is set up for us perfectly now. We are mot dangerous on the counter with the SASAS and City need to push on which will leave huge gaps for us.
Cracking first half, need at least one more though as Man City will score at some point. Never a pen (Sakho vs Dzeko), yeah he missed the ball but also missed the man, Dzeko then kicked the back of his head! Great defending on the line by Johnson & a awesome save from Migs.
It's important not to sit back, but press high. We'll have our chances as their Defensive line will venture forward.
