Man City v Everton. 13th Jan at 1945.

I cant quote him verbatim, but the question was something like 'good performance after criticism of him', and the answer was something like 'I take no notice of outside criticism, I've had it all my career, and that's why I'm at the top'...

Hahahahahahaha, this is gold. We love you Mume!

Baines and jags have helped shored up the defence.

Yep, Baines offers much more than Galloway and Jags is assured. Perhaps we can now find a bit of form

 

[matty1878]

Of course. It's what happens when you drop points against dross

Well you mean the lesser teams Obvs lol

What was said?

Can't remember haha. He asked him about the fact that he's been under pressure lately & howard said something like, "I've had mo'fo's saying stuff all my career, but i don't listen to them bitches, W**nker!!!"

Barry MOTM again for me.

We did well doubling up to cut out most of the danger out wide, but Barry just knows when and where to move himself to when they want to push it central and hope to find an opening. He was the key to that defensive display for me.

I can get behind that, he was excellent yet again.

People bang on about Martinez playing him every match but even if he hasn't got the legs, his experience shows and it's so necessary in such a young team.

Speaks volumes for Mirallas that not only was Osman selected ahead of him, but Pienaar brought on instead of him too. If he isn't going to use him why isn't he selling him?

Man City have drawn for the first time in 18 home PL games since 1-1 v Hull in Feb 2015

Howard didn't make a mistake but lets not kid ourselves....all the saves were bog std saves, As I said no mistakes and that's all we ask.

Thought it was a pen at the end but we put in a dogged display second half with not much conviction into trying to relieve the pressure. Happy with a point at City and who wouldn't be?

 

[No8Bally]

John Stones owes me a new pair of boxies

 

[Mrk]

Howard, Barry, Besic and Jags all top quality.

Kone stunk the place out when he come on. But what's new.

 

[Ashtonian]

job done.

shutting them out tonight sent a far bigger message ahead of the the second leg than beating them would have done.

They know now they can't walk the game, and know we are capable of scoring against them.

He will be.

Good point in the end, showed that we can match City with that first half performance, got to start the cup game the same way, and just hope Martinez doesn't have us sitting back hoping to catch them on the break.

I don't think he chose to sit back, you inevitably have to when city put you under so much pressure. That weren't a tactic
