Knees weak, arms are heavy....Love Williams. Out on his feet and picks a pass out like that."there will be 4 minutes of stoppage time"
A whole minute goes by without play.
Board still goes up with 4 minutes...These City cnuts are actually afraid of us
Vs a two year worse spell.
Fred wanted to continue the fairytale revival.
Foot came off the groundWhy on earth did Mata not take that free kick??? From his perfect distance as well. Who's making these decisions? It's small margins that win you games sometimes.The greatest mysteries of our time...how the pyramids were created...how.John Stones was considered a defender... what happened to Shergar....the whereabouts of Lord Lucan...why Mata did not take the free kick.
Game over
He's had a very good game tonight, at least I thought so.give us a pen ref, you twatWilliams is twice the player Shaw is, but half the weight.Nice composure by Williams, dude got spades of maturity.Fred's decent from free kicks though.
He's come close for us before.
Mata takes them with no power whatsoever.Attacking players have shown a distinct lack of quality today
Yip.
Who looks at those three and decides Mata is third best option? Given he's scored them before.Mata even seemed to ask the bench if he was to take it but walked away seemingly frustrated. I hope Ole didn't decide for him to not take it, would have been incredibly stupid.So much to like about today’s performance. Captain Maguire MOTM for me.
You don't need much power from that rangeMaguire barged in the back in the box thereThat FK was our chance and we fecking threw it away. Ah shame.
Thought it was a pen. Stones usual rubbishMata why are you punting a ball up to James to challenge for against 2 defenders. Boggles my mind some of the choices our players make.Why on earth didn't Mata take the FK?Shame we threw it away in the first leg reallyIf Bruno was here we might have won the tieWilliams has been very goodI’d like to punch Peps face.
Not even watching, actually shouting to get it.
Avoided a potential embarassment vs Villa. Get in!That was a push, even if slightly from Walker!Andreas must have sub 20% forward passing accuracy in his career.The 45,362nd foul throw of the season.
And first time given. AmazingJaw still on floor that mata didn't take itOnly if we had someone to put in a crossThat's a foul on Maguire there
take that jesusShame we decided to play calamity Jones in the first leg- Status
