Man City Post Match

[foxy boxing]

Positives....we won the second half......we were able to stop the opposition scoring for 45 minutes.

What’s that I’ve just seen a little bit of fight in the second half . We were never going to win and the first half we were our usual self’s . Second half much better

We've still got obvious issues but I'm gonna take the positives from that. Need to start beating the sides around us now!

What a second half win

[Claridge]

Stuffed 3-1 and I feel more confident than I did. 7-0 under Rodgers

[Pliskin]

Tonight really meant nothing other than City putting pressure on Arsenal. 
 

There were positives, and we’ve got to cling to those! 
 

What we need to remember is today hasn’t changed a great deal, we’ve still got to play again around us…. This is still a good position. 

[KP Fox]

I know you are all going to laugh at this but we had enough clear cut chances in the second half to have won that game. 

[Twitcher]

Some positives: 1) He reacted at half-time which was good to see. 2) Thomas for Kristiensen good. Thomas much more direct and positive going forwards.

3) He's had a look at just about everyone.

4) No Amartey.

Seriously if I ever meet Brendan in the street, I'm not going to ask him what is was like managing us, I'm not going to ask him how it felt to manage us in Europe, or what it was like to lift the FA Cup and Community Shield. 
I'm going to ask him what drugs he was taking playing Amartey over Soyuncu.

[JimJams]

Positive for a loss because Smith used his subs relatively early to get a gauge on players, which is useful. Kel scored and looked a threat, and even though Man City made changes, that second half side is still better than what we'll face in the majority of (if not all) our run in games.

Cags putting an effort in is nice to see given his marginalised position and the fact that realistically some players lack effort when they know they're off in the summer.

Kel will get himself starting now surely.

[inckley fox]

I thought we were pretty insipid first half. They eased off. We made positive changes. But even with their disinterest in mind, we put up a great fight in the second half. That's a rare thing for a Leicester side nowadays. I imagine chins will be up.

[BraunstoneFox23]

I’m not mad at that second half. Wish we’d done that in the first! 

[Twitcher]

I thought Soyoncu made Rodgers look ordinary today.

How many chances can Nacho miss? Despite the first half we could have actually had a draw if he puts his chances away. Second time he's cost us points with shit finishing.

The only thing I'm blaming Nacho for today is keeping Brendan in a job for two years with his performances in the cup and from the bench. 

[lcfcbluearmy]

Man city 2.06 xG - LCFC 2.22 xG so who are the real winners here? 

[Chester Dontlie]

Agree with everyone who wants Ian to start btw. I love Vards to bits, always will, but having him in starting eleven at this point equals to sabotage.

[whoareyaaa]

Much better second half.

 

I would start Nacho instead of Vardy

Praet instead of KDH

Mendy instead of Nididi 

 

Thomas looked a lot better as well tbf

So he can miss even more open goals?

Give it rest mate. 

 

At least he scored and looked the most likely too of the 3 strikers TBH. And did the most with his pitch time.

Nacho made a big difference imo ,should have started him ,but second half positive 

[Sunbury Fox]

An easy victory for Man City, wrapped up in 24 minutes. After that they strolled around conserving energy, and then brought off all of their main players in the 2nd half. Given that, I'm not going to take much solace from our second half rally. We look like a team that will be relegated. 

[Dave Fishwick]

Today was a free hit

 

sadly some shit results elsewhere and relying on Forest not winning tomorrow

 

Need to drop Vardy - disappointed he started. Hopefully the half time hauling off is a sign that Smith realises what he needs to do for the rest of the season to give us a chance

 

its sad that Vardy may not get another goal for a proper send off, but we need to do whats right by the club not any individuals now.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

The improved 2nd half performance comes with a huge caveat. Man City could have had any number they wanted but had the deckchairs out in the 2nd half. 

[ronnup]

Maddison needed to square that, he's well off it

[st albans fox]

We won on Xg!
