    What do you mean hold on? It's a 50/50 game this. Nobody is dominating the either. In fact, we've looked quite comfortable at times tonight.
    Talk about their bench, we have Gylfi, Barrow and Llorente that can come on. We have quality on our bench tonight that can win us the game.

    I wonder how long he will leave it to bring De Bruyne on though. I guess he will prefer that he doesn't play at all but if its still 0-0 after 75 mins I think he will put him on

    Tbh, we should lose this game as it's Man City, so as long as we show the same thing second half I'll be happy. First goal will be huge. I'd bring Barrow and Gylfi on straight away and go at them.

    Bring on Gylfi and Barrow and we can go up a gear too.

    TBH I would prefer to lose and at least show that we are trying to play football than nick a 1-0 with a crap display. So lets hope we keep it going in the 2nd half.

    Everyone knows what they are doing tonight because they're playing in a familiar system. Each players knows his role and the role of his team mates. The bench and youngsters can slot in with confidence when called upon because they've learned their lines and know their role. Its not brain surgery just common sense.

    God forbid if Northampton pull off a shock as that would be 4 defeats on the trot for Jose. Heads would roll!!

    Agree. No shame in losing to Man City if we have a go at them.

    Why does Taylor always turn his back to a shot at goal? Be a man and face it, head on you muppet.

    You can ask why Taylor was pulled into the middle rather than keep wide!
