Manchester City (A) Match Thread

I'd put on Allen or Shelvey if Sturridge has to go off at half time.

Big 2nd half coming up I can't believe City will be as ineffective as they have been and we need to keep the shape and pressing going for the full game which we didn't do against Arsenal.

[baitman]

the close control by sturridge has been fantastic, probably the one stand out plus for us. him and suarez will be fantastic together. suarez wont be as greedy as he will see that the passes to daniel wont be wasted.
looks very good.

I said the other day we're better suited to play City than Arsenal, every time we play them we seem to be the better team but we don't always get a bit of luck or the quality is lacking.

Really good 1st half, happy to be level after going behind but lets kick on now.

Hope Sturridge isn't injured he's played really well so far, Suarez probably should have scored but both chances were difficult.

Does Joe Hart shave his eyebrows?

Anyway, this is a very good game.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

If Sturridge goes off I wouldn't want Sterling coming on I think Zabeleta would be too strong for him.

Probably be best to put Borini on, I wouldn't want to upset the middle 3 they're playing well.

Wouldn't surprise me have you seen that shampoo advert

Who would be unhappy with a draw?

[el matador]

Really good game of football. When they scored I feared the worst but we've come back really well.

Need a good second half to match the first. Come on lads.

[Chazza]

Ceratine all round

Who would be unhappy with a draw?

Depends how the 2nd half goes, if it carries on the same I would be. If they get a grip of the game then I'd be happy enough

[danperkins]

So much movement in that Suarez/Sturridge partnership, both players make great runs and get in great positions. Definitely a goal there for us in the second half.

No way City will be this lethargic in the second half. No doubt we will be bit more alert after what happened at Arsenal

[Exiled_red]

I'd put on Allen or Shelvey if Sturridge has to go off at half time.

Please no, he's been awful recently, if he comes on we'll rearrange the midfield to accomodate him and we'll get over run

Chin chin.

Down the hatch.

[McDermotX]

Excellent response since their goal.
Holding onto the ball so much better than midweek.
