*** Official Match Thread Huddersfield Away ***

[Douglas Higginbottom]

When the scum were losing here they had the option of lumping high balls to big guys ( including Smalling who was thrown up top) but we will have to play our way through a 10 man wall. Won't be easy and someone has to take one of those half chances. Preferably in the first few minutes

[dick dastardley]

The only wat these were going to score was a dead ball, we should have at least two

[PrezIke]

I would get Jesus in instead of Sergio. Since that goal record he was way off, imho.

I know Jesus scored last weekend, but he hasn’t been in sparkling form either with goals.

Actually, Pep’s reaction when it was asked about Sterling being the leading goal scorer was muted and it made me wonder if he was partially concerned that neither Kun nor Jesus were leading as they are the strikers, besides worrying about complacency.

[Mase]

Huddersfield coaches have just won the champions league. Well done guys.

come on man. most expected them to be pinned back in their own half and lose like 4-0 or something. they're well within their rights to celebrate taking an undeserved lead over the runaway league leaders.

Have you watched the match? They HAVE been pinned back in their own half.

[john@staustell]

I did have Otamendi down for the first goal

[nottsblue]

Piss poor first half. Reckon they've got ten minutes next half before Pep makes changes

[carl_feedthegoat]

We have had fuckall shots on target....,,its just not acceptable given who is upfront and I hope Jesus comes on second half.

As for our defence...without Stones we will always concede..Kompany and Otto do not work together at all.

Doesn't help that of late everytime we go two up we stop trying to score and just pass the game to death. I know it's game management but as a goal scorer that must suck.

[phips]

City not come from behind after to win an away league game when trailing at the half since 1995. lets hope that changes.

[bigblue]

Sky show a replay of Silva's great run and don't even say his name. Only talk about what an amazing tackle Huddersfield had at the end. The cunt Pardew saying Huddersfield played "the perfect half"... how does that work out when we've missed 2-3 clear chances?

correct. but they aren't getting destroyed. hence the wild celebrations.

[Blue In Bolton]

More frustrated than worried but could see it coming from that corner. Oh, and as previously said, Sky and Huddersfield's shitty fans can fuck right off!! Pep's rocket at half time to fire the lads up and run out convincing winners in the second half. Come on, City!!!

[Fidel Castro]

Otter doing well going forward but him and Kompo look dodgy defensively and can see them getting caught out on the break second half. On the goal, reckon Kevin should have done a better job of tracking his man

Aguero had a left footed volley that their keeper saved. Was going in all the way

Full backs will push up further and wonder if Gundo comes on for Fern, although winning the ball back is key to our attack and Pep rarely seems
To make subs until at least the 70-75 minute.

Could put Jesus in with Kun as well and go with some kind of crazy 2-6-2 formation of some kind.

[Beefymcfc]

Had a horrible feeling coming into the first half, feeling a little different about the second.

Come on the Blues!!!

[zabbadabbado]

i have never liked the pairing of Otamendi, and Kompany.It always looks like we are a red card, or own goal away from disaster. Kompany nearly put through his own net just before Otamendi did. They look at all at sea from set pieces.

Stones is a bigger miss than Mendy for us.

[Original Dub]

Stone wall?

[Dameerto]

We've got this.

[PrezIke]

Come on City!!!
