Maybe hearing it from someone as successful as Pep will have a positive influence on him. Too many times tonight Redmond was just dawdling about.

Cheated out of it as usual by the mysterious extra time afforded to the richer clubs.

Always seems to be the case that the extra time to score the winner is found for the rich club.

Totally undeserved defeat. Scored after 5 mins already elapsed.

Forster flapping. Got lucky there!

Amazing we've held on this long despite him being on the pitch.

5 minutes seems way too much.

Great set up from Boufal.

GOAL ROMEU!!!!!!!!

72 mins we've hung in there well. Shame about the lapse after the break and missed chances. But we can take some heart from the performance.

Redmond stays on. Somehow?

Boufal coming on

I love Lemina.

2 great saves by Forster.

We just need to try and keep the game as tight as we can and try and get a chance on the counter again. City are ridiculously good coming forwards though. So many multi-million pound options.

One of those games we'll probably still lose 4-0 or something. But have to be pleased with some of our play. Certainly more positive than recent weeks.

Fantastic half from us. If only we'd buried one of those chances..

We should have scored at least 1 goal today.

Lost the ball a second ago and just jogged back. No effort to win it back.

I had to turn off adblock.

No wonder City have scored so many this season. They are so sharp coming forwards. Giving their midfield too much of the ball at the moment.

City are going to score at some point. Probably more than once. But we are putting in a good shift and looking decent went coming forwards.

Unlucky Forster

1) Can't see him being sacked this side of January. No word from the club about any discontent. 2) No-one I guess. 3) We have virtually no information on Gao or his thoughts or activities. 4) Eric Black?
