Pandur Hughes McLoughlin. We would have won that comfortably with 11 men. I am unsure about the sending off as he pulled out but its Pedro's own fault players know not to jump in two footed. The penalty was very harsh
He also had to spend a lot of time defending the back post from strikers towering over him. Did remarkably well
Pandur - world class display today - some unbelievable saves. McLoughlin - gets better and better Puerta - wow - here there and everywhere. Sign him up! Heroic point. Only an utterly biased referee ensured they got a point.
Pandur- great saves and very accomplished on crosses. Hughes-solid as a rock and with a little more experience will make a great leader and captain. McLoughlin- looking like a accomplished Left Back and is it my eyes seems to be slimmer and a bit more pace.
Five points for first choice, three for second, one for third. Pandur 146 Hughes 99 McLoughlin 23 Coyle 8 Puerta 5 Pedro 5 Jones 1 Alzate 1 Votes very much reflect what a great defensive, backs to the wall, performance that was. We showed a degree of steel that hasn't always been obvious this season. It was only a point but a very important point nonetheless. Don't let it slip now City. The next game is another massive one.
