Davkaus Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Weim ann's was a tough chance, still had to take on his man, he never got ahead of him. Bowery's was an excellent chance if he'd controlled it instead of thinking he was **** Ronaldo and going for the spectacular volley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermie123 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Its clear that sky don't like Man City also our defence is doing well for a change, but Delph needs to stop doing diagonal passes as he's crap at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Will City take the foot off in the final 10 mins to make sure they don't go and lose and throw away the title? I feel they'll come out and get 2 before 70 mins. We can't keep defending like that for the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I don't have anything against Liverpool so I'd like us to win. Preferably, we would defend for 92 minutes. City would have something like 81% possession. We've barely had a touch of the ball and there's been multiple goal line clearances and last ditch tackles. Milner, in particular, has been on fire and putting in ball after ball as well as some timely shots. Guzan has made at least 3 or 4 miracle saves as well as punching Dzeko in the head as he comes out for a cross. Baker has fouled Toure within the box, but Guzan saved the penalty and the rebound. Delph has a yellow card. With 3 minutes of extra time, City are getting desperate. They need the 3 points. A draw will not do. They send almost everyone forward on a corner. Guzan punches it out for the 15th time and it lands at Albrighton's feet. Break is on. Marc's already fallen over out of exhaustion earlier in the game so he's on his last legs. He somehow summons the energy to motor down the pitch. Demichelis is the only one back and it's a 2 on 1 situation. All the Villa fans are on their feet, hearts in mouths. Is this actually going to happen? Right at the edge of the City box, Albrighton looks up. Demichelis commits. Everyone thinks he's going to shoot. Albrighton coolly squares it to the other Villa player. The Villa fans start to scream as they realize it's actually happening. The rest of the Ethiad is silent as stone. The ball slides across the box and Hart helplessly rushes out to try and get it, but the Villa player is obviously favored to it. Who is it? J Bowz meets the ball and everyone thinks he's overrun it but he knows what he's doing. It's a repeat of his goal against Hull, but this time, it's at the right end. J Bowz takes the slightest of touches with the back of his right heel. Hart has already dove the other way and watches in agony as the ball trickles towards his goal. It bounces against the post and you can hear it on the camera as the crowd's fallen silent. It crosses the line. Marc has fallen over, cramps in both of his legs. Everyone else is behind the halfway line, not believing what's just transpired. J Bowz doesn't care. He wheels off towards the Villa away corner, imitating his famous wheelchair gif as he meets the jubilant fans. The rest of the Ethiad is silent, their championship dreams extinguished at the foot of Bowery's first Premier League goal. ** More likely, we'll get trounced 4-0, but wouldn't that be great? All going according to plan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Very disciplined performance. Took Man City until injury time to create a proper chance. Weimann maybe could have been a bit more composed when he had that run... But really hard to knock what we have done first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yep, decent half. Not pretty, but effective (so far). If only Bowery could have taken that chance it would have been a wonder goal. And Weimann should have made Zabaleta sweat a bit when he shot wide. Interesting half to come. You'd have to fancy that if they score they will win, but let's see.

LordSepulchrave Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Strong disciplined performance, good work so far. We need to keep it tight for another 15mins then start pushing forward.

Avfc96 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'd take a draw. Keeps City in pole position for the title and we obviously have a point to move us up the table. Also WBA are losing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad and all as he's been this season, this game was made for his pace. Who's on the bench? Anyone with a bit of speed? Doesn't matter if they're a forward or not, if it's 0-0 with 15 minutes left you'd really want to be sticking the fastest guy on the bench up front to chase the up and unders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
