FT.

[Parky]

Really pleased with the second half performance. Made a game of it and deserved something from it.

[jdckelly]

ft good performance just no luck

[Guest BlacknWhiteArmy]

A lot of positives. A lot like our away game with them earlier in the season, played well and deserved to get something out of it but didn't.

[Guest sicko2ndbest]

Pardew out!

[Guest palnese]

If we can keep playing like we did in the 2nd half we'll finish midtable.

[johnnypd]

massive disappointment. game was there for the winning. a completely self-inflicted defeat.

[EthiGeordie]

f*** me....useless performance my arse...

 

Some people on here my word  .

 

 

i agree 100%

[Carlito]

Good effort. Shame the first 10 minutes put the game to bed pretty much

[wormy]

So, for clarification.. If we don't get a fair striker in January, start Ranger?

[IceMag]

Proud of the lads today - fought well and deserved at least a point.

[hakka]

We badly deserved a draw for our hard work and performance. There were points in the second half where City looked lost and we had 70% of possesion.  We will miss Nolan badly in the next match, but Ranger is starting to look more menacing, I'd start him against Spurs. Got tickets for the Spurs game, so hope we get lucky there.

[ChrisMcQuillan]

Someone burn Saylor's contract before he signs it. 

[QBG]

Aye good effort, top teams get that luck sometimes, just not our day.

[BONTEMPI]

So, for clarification.. If we don't get a fair striker in January, start Ranger?

 

I'd say so

 

He's Asprillian like

[Yorkie]

Just too easy for em. The difference in that game was £500,000,000, or whatever the fuck it is they've spent. Good effort lads but fucking shocking defending.

[Guest palnese]

People blaming Taylor for their goals? Fucking hell.

[ChrisMcQuillan]

People blaming Taylor for our goals? f***ing hell.

 

He was at fault for the third.

 

But there were two or three occasions where we were lucky not to concede because of him.  Backing off Tevez FFS. 

[SGSC]

People blaming Taylor for our goals? f***ing hell.

 

Dont know about the first 2, but the third certainly was.

[Zero]

People blaming Taylor for our goals? f***ing hell.

He really doesn't look like a good partner for Coloccini.

[johnnypd]

City have been very clinical today - did exactly what needed to be done. Granted, we've played alright bar the first 5 minutes, but we have to keep in mind that City were defending a two lead.

 

aye you have to read our possession in the light of them having a 2 goal lead. had it been 0-0 the game would've taken a totally different route and it wouldnt have been them just sitting it out. as it was, we didnt really have the quality to fashion genuine chances for the most part. it took Ranger coming on to open it up, but by then it was too late, and, as often happens, when a team commits people forward you get hit at the back.

[Guest palnese]

People blaming Taylor for our goals? f***ing hell.

 

Dont know about the first 2, but the third certainly was.

No it fucking wasn't. He tried to close down Johnson. Simpson let Tevez shoot.

 

[SGSC]

Just looking at the replays, was it not Simpson who backed off Tevez, not Taylor?

[JH]

Don't believe this whole 'loads of luck' 'just wasn't our day' rubbish.

 

We played very very well and deserved a point, but they won because of our poor and shaky defending in the first half and their more clinical finishing.

 

We came close, but have no one to blame but ourselves.

[Robster]

I'm sure on Talksport, Bobby Gould has just called him "Nigel Ranger"
