George Rs Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Just now, Numero Uno said: Aggression won that tonight. These Prem sides don’t like it when sides like us compete against them. One thing I really like, since probably the LJ run, is that we don’t compromise how we play because we are up against a prem side. And except from Man City last season, who are in a class of their own, it’s worked brilliantly for us. 2 Quote Link to comment

I didn't think we passed well at all,I found myself groaning so many times Thought I was the only one , thought we played well but also thought we give the ball away very cheaply a lot especially first half 2 Quote Link to comment

Silvio Dante Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 The best thing about that is it was deserved. Sometimes you get upsets and they’re grubby, but it wasn’t. The period 25-40 we looked in a bit of trouble but were the better side for the remainder - clearly a red card helps but you’ve still got to play against it. And the subs were the right ones at the right times so credit to the bench as well as the players. Great stuff and now need to carry it to Watford. 6 Quote Link to comment
WessexPest Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Great result, City, and thoroughly deserved over the course of the 180 minutes. We didn’t even play that well tonight but Weet Ham were utterly gutless. Nice to see us set about them a bit and that tit Benrahma took the bait. Great backing from the Red Army. It was screened on ESPN+ here and Stewart Robson was on co-commentary. He was practically crying. Now, hopefully we can kick on in the league. I saw someone say they’d rather three points than win this but I strongly, strongly disagree - these types of evenings live long in the memory. Now over to Norwich at the Stadium of Quiet and hope they can deny the Slags a trip up to Anfield and not have me in the awkward position of having to cheer on the Bin Dippers. Well done 1 Quote Link to comment

Comes in with so much promise and has his own song in the corner, but is slower than just about everyone, takes very few chances and creates even less than a holding striker like Diedhiou? I despise being negative on this glorious night but in this team of hungry, capable and ambitious youngsters that are causing serious problems, he juts out like a sore thumb. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
Dan Robin Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Haha, I didn't see the Williams-Benrahma incident because I lost some minutes of the second half: I discovered it here at the end of the game. I just saw the episode in the cup's FB page and...I agree, Williams was lucky : anyway, after all the damages we had from Championship referees in recent seasons, we deserve a lot more of these pro-City errors, right?!?

Well done lads W Quote Link to comment
Open End Numb Legs Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 It has just occurred to me how relaxed I was for the last 10 minutes. We didn't look like losing and didn't park the bus and fall deep. Not how I expected it to pan out. Brilliant. 7 Quote Link to comment
Supersonic Robin Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 6 minutes ago, Maxex1979 said: I thought, why can we not play like this in the league! We can......but only against teams above us in the table who will want possession and will attack us. Weirdly, tonight's result isn't that shocking - another good result against a team above us in the table (or English football pyramid). It's when we win 3 in a row against teams 16th, 18th, and 22nd in the Championship that I'll be shocked Quote Link to comment

Banjo Island Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 What a contrast in performance the preston game was awful and tonight we were just incredible now if we could just bring that level of intensity commitment and passion who knows where it could take us Quote Link to comment

Dan Robin Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 (edited) 19 minutes ago, Leabrook said: @Dan Robin is the only fan left who likes var. there’s always one How many penalties would have been awarded to City in the last seasons with VAR? How about red cards to opponents and other decisions? Having better refereeings should be enough to want VAR, even if in England often it's not used properly (so more an English limit, I guess). Then the utility can be different depending on the context: I follow Italian football too, and even if dirty things will continue to happen (sad but true ), at least VAR helps to reduce suspicious episodes.

Conway’s goal was of Atyeo quality. I can give no greater praise. Well done the young man Big John would've gone down though, wouldn't he? When the keeper took a swipe? Quote Link to comment

Saw a very entertaining match at the weekend where the locals beat Andrea Pirlo's Sampdoria 5-3 in Serie B...standard not always the highest but the most entertaining game of football I have seen in years. Hoping for something similar. It's freezing here too. COYR! I was there last week and went to the "Arsenale" to look at their ground, gutted i couldn't get a game in 1 Quote Link to comment

petehinton Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Can’t lie that actually felt like we were playing a mid table championship side for the majority of the game. Really solid performance, wasteful at times but got the job done. Need to follow it up Saturday now!! 5 Quote Link to comment
UncleRed Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Loved the formation, TGH and Anis were superb in that midfield four. Going to have plenty of depth for that midfield box to keep things fresh. Plenty of interchangeable players. Can see why LM been waiting for Mccrorie to switch formations, looks like he’s gonna be a machine going forward and backwards. Brilliant from the whole 11. 2 Quote Link to comment

Most mid table Championship sides would probably have given us more butterflies defending a slender lead heading into four minutes of additional time. Even a man down and with a severely weakened squad, it looked like West Ham felt as of going out of the FA Cup was actually a good thing. Sad if true but take nothing away from City, who as I said weren’t exactly superb but gave 100% all night and were worthy victors. 1 Quote Link to comment
SomeRandomBristolian Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 What a great night. Enjoyed the game. I wasn't even nervous at the end. Just had the feeling we would see it through. A night to remember. YOU REDS!! 2 Quote Link to comment
Super Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Superb night. We really battled tonight and defensively superb. Obvious we are still lacking that quality going forward but hopefully Twine will help with this. Quote Link to comment
