Manchester City 3-1 Watford FC - 02/01/2018

No doubt about it.
Nobody would have expected a lot from tonight but new blood and returning players are required rapidly.
Mr Silva needs to earn his next appointment or his career will be heading the wrong way pdq.

 

Come backs on

Called it.

 

Decent. Heart will probably be taken. And Richarlison gets 15 minutes off.

 

Irrelevant as we are the anti Palace.
For every penalty we appeal,they receive one!

 

Considering the team we put out, that feels like a victory of epic proportions

 

He's at West Ham isn't he?!

 

About the best possible outcome we could’ve hoped for. The one constant negative is our dismal defence, specifically the fullbacks, they’d embarrass a championship side.

Gray will no doubt continue to get abuse, but he the one thing he does is get into scoring positions, which our other strikers don’t.

 

Once again, it's our own errors that cost us. A fumble from Gomes and an own goal from Kabasele ruined any hope we had.

That said, I would have grabbed a 3-1 loss if you offered it to me 1 minute into the game

 

Happy with the result considering the first 15 mins, and happy for Gray.

 

Proud of the lads.

 

Excllent we only lost 3-1
Excellent Gray scored

Played with a lot more heart, but for 80mins we were poor (last 10mins we looked much better) , passes going astray and out muscled at every turn , however City are a truly superb team and we were never going to win.

Would probably feel quite happy if it wasn’t for the Swansea result

 

Janmaat and Zeegelaar's double act for the first goal was worse than Gomes error. Kabasele really couldn't do much else - if he leaves it Aguero just taps it in.

 

Only good thing to come out of tonight is that the goal difference didn't take the expected battering. But it was game over after a minute, and our consolation and respectable scoreline was down to City easing off the gas. Had they wanted or needed to score more, they would have done.

10 defeats in 14 means we're definitely in a relegation battle. Defeats to Bristol City and then Southampton must surely see Silva's reign brought to a premature end?

The club needs to get its January transfer business completed asap, not at the last minute where 5/6th choices are signed in a panic.

We're not going to be tenth for much longer.

 

Southampton - must win!

 

All things considered a pretty decent result. The worrying thing is a few of the teams who looked doomed have picked themselves up.

 

Another defeat, although not the expected thrashing. When it was all to play for though, Watford were pathetic, conceding after just 38 seconds. Game over by 13 minutes.

City took their foot off the pedal after that. Anyone can play bravely when the game is over. It's when you're winning 1-0 you have to stand up and show your metal.

I'm not fooled by this, nor by the goal Gray scored. It was a tap in. It's now 10 defeats from 14 games. Only 5 points from relegation now. We have to beat Southampton. Let's see how well we play against a side when it's all to play for and the stakes are high.

Still 10th as well. These are the sort of nights we've always dreamed about.
