We were really bad attacking-wise, but defensively we were our usual brilliant selves. Did anyone catch them mentioning how many consecutive home games City had scored in? It was something ridiculous.
In the context of City a good away really but in terms of the title I think our path is probably going to cost us and it's looking like Liverpool are emerging as the team that night take advantage.
awooga83 I mean, they barely scraped a win against a shit Brighton who were basically begging for them to score, and now they're favorites?
Hopefully United and Villa can do the business for us over the next week.
Clrnc Haaland has recorded a grand total of 0.00 xG in his last 4 matches against us.
He had 0.28 xG today.
DiabyKungFu Zero shot on target* stand corrected
DiabyKungFu Wonder what for because he got pocketed.
goon we will need to rotate him and Jorge for the run in.
Tomi looked very rusty. He needs to come off the bench a few times before he starts I think.
Qwiss The next match is Luton, I will play Partey and Tomiyasu.
Coombs based on the remaining fixtures for me yes. They may be riding their luck but they've been able to get the results and they now have far now games I'd expect them to win whereas I think they're is likely 3-4 games we might drop some points without any curve balls
City has scored in their last 57 matches at home. This is their first blank.
Clrnc — may have been the over watered pitch. You could see how many players were slipping and how the ball was rolling slow.
Best we can hope for is ManUre nicking a point off Pool on 7th April.
Doesn't seem very likely given how trash they are.
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert It's at OT and they just won there in the FA Cup recently. Anything can happen

Meh, Liverpool aren't going to close out the season with one hundred per cent points.
I liked today's performance. I felt we proved there's a lack of ideas at City. Pep throws on his wide men and neither of them does anything. Haaland crying and not getting his shots away. De Bruyne crying.
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert
Given our goal difference all we need is Liverpool to draw one game and we are back on top assuming we keep winning
goon Partey looked good when he came on. Would like to see him start vs Luton.
Partey looked fine but I think Luton at home is a good time to go back to the 5 attackers lineup with Zinchenko at leftback.

I wouldn’t be against giving Rice a breather to be fair. He looked shattered by the end of the game and it’s probably our last chance to give him a rest.
Clrnc he had 4 shots, is there such a thing as a zero xg shot?
Clrnc I wouldn't underestimate Luton. They're a handful.
awooga83 Liverpool are extremely good against teams outside of the top 6. If I am not mistaken they only dropped points against Luton. Flat track bully
In fact they have only lost 2 games all season long while suffering many injuries. If they win their last 9 remaining games tough luck for us
I'll Take that
That's a brilliant defensive performance and point. If we can do it there, we don't have to be afraid of any ground in the country.
RocktheCasbah I think that tells you where we need to invest this summer. We need more attacking options than we have right now - and not a Trossard level signing, we need someone who opposition defenders have nightmares about.
RocktheCasbah It’s a great point but looking back I think we could have taken a few more risks. Will we ever get a better chance of beating city than yesterday? Think they were for the taking
goon — saw Odegaard tracking back faster than Rice.
Draw is a good result. 4pts from Liverpool and 4pts from Man City is a great return and these matches won't be the reason we lose it, if we do.
9 games left, win them all and see what happens. That has to be the target now.
