Best in game management all season 

True but that’s hardly a great reference given who and what came before!

WOW

 

Rodgers vs palace

Shots against 31
Shots for 3

Now vs Man City

Shots against 12
Shots for 10

First away team to have higher XG this season at etihad. (just revealed by sky presenter)

This is important to show that we have improved we played better against a completely different class of opponent

[David Hankey]

At this level of football you can't give the opposition a 3 goal lead inside 15 minutes and hope to get anything out of the game other than a loss.

 

Having said that Nacho & Madders both responsible for missing simple chances. Not good enough.

Wilf at fault for all 3, pathetic closing down of stones. Disgrace if he starts next/any game

Sadly you’re right - he’s just so far off it at the moment he shouldn’t be put in harms way by being played. 
 

I can see an argument for bringing him back for the Everton game when set plays will be a big deal but wolves and Leeds should be pappy

True but he's so wasteful. Getting in positions is great but you've got to finish chances. He needs 4 to score 1.

It’s a confidence thing, and due to his banishment following Chelsea he probably has little. Tbh had he hit that ball further inwards of the goal, Ederson would have saved it. Nacho is not only the most likely to score, he’s also the best technical player when coming into midfield.

Bearing in mind my fears of a 10-0 before the game and the awful start unfolding a bit of relief. Nice to pull a goal back. Hopefully the manager can improve us next week. Criminal that Rodgers binned Cags

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

But if we’re looking for positives that’s the first time this season an away team has had an higher xg than them. Personally I’m just happy to see that at last we’ve got an xg after a match.

We're staying up. 

 

If the interims learn from today and drop the likes of KDH, we can do this.

Mendy for Wilf. Praet (or Daka) for KDH. Kels for Vards.  

[Mickyblueeyes]

Crap start. Hopefully we’ve learnt some lessons on who should/should not play. 
 

I gave Cags grief - I was wrong. Brendan was a ****.

made way to many individual errors this season Mendy should be starting ahead of him, much more composed

How on earth wasn't Soyuncu given an opportunity to play this season? Absolutely scandalous.

Was passing it around and dribbling not fazed by the opposition, great player on our books been wasted all season.

The last 25-30 minutes was fantastic. Just shows what having midfielders that can take and pass the ball does! KDH cannot play again.

 

I know Man City took of their biggest players, but the side that finished the game for them is still world class.

 

Have to take the positives and work our arses off in the build up to Wolves which is now the biggest game the club has played since the Cup final 

Praet HAS to come in for KDH surely?

 

Mendy for Ndidi, Kelechi for Vardy.

 

Just depends whether Barnes is fit or not.

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. 

 

There's nothing to give a rest. Had the same issue when we played Saints. Doubt people will be so forgiving if he does that against Wolves. We dominated from about 60 mins just massively disappointed we didn't grab an unlikely bonus point.

Yeah he has been poor, he used to be such a good player.

Agree. Was no where near aggressive enough in the challenge for the header.

[David Hankey]

Haaland named MoTM actually only half the match!!

You know, Praet for KDH is not a bad shout, he’s probably technically better

Don't disagree. He starts ahead of Vardy for me but I just wonder whether we try to get Daka around him so there's not as much pressure on him to be the goal threat.

Some ridiculous comments here that man city given up at 3 nil, we could have given up too, but we kept going,we scored, hit the post, had one saved and two other good chances, which was more than we did against Bournemouth on our own ground.

I'd bring Barnes in for KDH and go 3412 with Barnes up front with Nacho.

Yes no I completely agree we were much better second half another day at least 1 or 2 of those Preat, maddison, nacho chances go in and it's a different game. 

 

That second half gave me hope 

[RowlattsFox]

Was always going to be a tough weekend but at least we've managed to come out with only a 2 goal defeat. 

 

Not for the first time game is over before we start to play and come away thinking we've not played too badly. Massively helped by Man City not being sure how to approach the second half.

One that was already 3 up and could not be bothered in the second half.

Oh yes, I would deffo play 2 up top or play daka as a wide player in a 4-3-3 if we’re attacking, the beauty is nacho can come into midfield so they switch around
