Silva should have got booked for a dive. and one for Doku for stopping Dibling.

Cap'n Jack to the rescue! Never had doubters...never...🙂

If Suga comes on, it will be 2 mins later and really will be hand ball.

They have the cheek to moan about not being able to take their non-free kick quickly. Grrrr... We get it away at the other end. Not quite as sharp closing, with Aribo on, and Doku giving them a different option.

I thought Downes got pulled back a minute after.

Shame about that pass to Welington. It wasn't a tough one, and would have made City think about getting everyone up.

Aribo did well to get it clear. De Bruyne being looked at for foul play...but plays for big team... so they can sit back, without looking... 🙂

That's the worry. Could moved Fernandes or Downes there, or heaven help us, moved up Stephens. But, considering those options, you can see why Aribo was an option too.

5 live certainly wanted it. "He should have seen red." "Saints should be down to 10. But, mustn't grumble." Biased, fawning creeps.

Have you considered a Rasmus Ankerson, single massive plank, option for your decking?

He's half way to a Masterclass video. 🙂

They come off frustrated and increasingly moany. We come off having stuck to our game plan. We went for keeping it as compact as possible, push them wide, with Sule working across the pitch to pick anything up. It's worked so far. They have had some free kicks. Les has a lot on him in the middle. He's a foul away from a second yellow, after blocking their free kick. So, that may be a swap, if not a sub. Not a slight, just tactical for him today.

More like praise TheBus, the one we parked in our box.🙂

Sod off De Bruyne you diving git. No more getting signed by Lawrie Mac in my bored day dream for you.!

Les in the book, so we may have to switch who's stopping Kovacic.

Sule fails to get it past 7 of them a minute or two back! What is wrong with him? 😀 We're not targeting our balls out of our third. So Sule is covering a fair bit of area. We had a decent move there, where City had to drop back and so couldn't counter when they got it back. So, the more we do that the less we'll get caught out over committing.

Not far over, and that's their best thanks to the ref. Tator before free kick: Only de Bruyne will take this. Tator after free kick: That could have been one for Foden. Give me strength.

Really soft free kick

Tator: Like any relegated side, it's about keeping that group together. 😀

7 of our players in their half?! Get back! 🙂

Good proactive clearance from Welington.

Rusk trying to make sure we get that magical point. If we get a gift as well, all the better. #cannymanagement

It hit off Sule and went to City. But it was a touch. 🙂

I've little sympathy if players are doing that, and I didn't think it was a foul either. 🙂

Well Dibling, if you wore shin pads, that wouldn't have hurt so much.
