Foden again 

Vyner own goal, was going wide, he's made a few mistakes tonight and really unfortunate with that goal but it is what it is. 

[luke_bristol]

Not Vyner’s best night but he’s been brilliant this season. 
 

game was lost when we weren’t awarded the penalty

Proud of the team, can't knock them. A few mistakes but you're not going to play against the champions without making any. Brilliant performance and we're not at the end yet.

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

JD coming on

[tin]

Pring hasn’t put a foot wrong tonight. Very well played 

[Vidal]

We did well tonight. But as expected MCFC in 2nd gear and comfortable. 

[!james]

Good team performance so far, we haven't had any clear cut chances but working hard and battling away. No blame on Vyner for the goal, had to make an attempt for the ball. 

[Lrrr]

Lot of credit for Pring in that performance  wouldn’t be surprised for some teams to be watching him

Yep. They've done me proud Tone.

[The Journalist]

Hope this doesn’t get any messier because we wouldn’t deserve that. Done us proud tonight.

[The turtle]

When one of the best sides in the world gets the rub (non pen, non free kicks, unlucky own goal) of the green
Doesn't exactly make a cup upset easy 

 

It's been a very positive performance however. Use this has a spring board to bigger and better things. Its all there. (Truly couldn't see the day I'd write that in mid December)

[cidercity1987]

What are you lot on about Vyner?

Their world cup winner centre forward has been well under control

[RUSSEL85]

Class

[TheCulturalBomb]

Best midfielder in the world scored against us. Nothing wrong with that.

[City_USA]

Very proud of my team tonight.

Showed a good account of ourselves and held our own in spells against arguably one of the top teams in the World.

This should give us some confidence moving forward in the league

COYR 

[Slippin cider]

And that’s that

[cidercity1987]

Been a great performance from the lads not helped by also playing the ref and his mates with the flags

[Lanterne Rouge]

That`s what De Bruyne can do to you.

[bexhill reds]

Ouch, midfield missing there.

[Lrrr]

Class finish that from De Bruyne to be fair 

[Vidal]

Biggest disappointment for me is the ref performance.

[marcofisher]

Jesus that was an inch perfect strike

[BigTone]

Ok, so we have lost but our fighting ability has been inspiring. Good times ahead. The Man City team cost how much ?  Our team cost how much ?

Could be 5 or 6 and i don't care. Players have done us proud tonight. Well done lads and well done the fans too. Sounded really good.

Back to the league.

[downendcity]

Man City bring on a substitute that cost double the cost of our stadium and umpteen times the total cost of our entire team.

Most, if not all their team were in the world cup finals.

Puts in perspective what we've been up against and how well we've played. We've certainly not been disgraced and the late goals give a scoreline that doesn't reflect our effort.

 

[collier]

Good strike but O Leary giving him far too much room to aim at there. No criticism tho as we have been good tonight but Man City are a class apart.

[Mihai]

How long will take to play more often against City ? To pretend we can have a chance by being a top 10 PL team when we play them ?

I am so hungry of success. I want this team in Premier League...
