  1. This. Schwarzer is too commanding to make high crosses anything but a remote threat. Low and hard offers more potential.
  2. To be fair, he's not the only one. Gerrard, Suarez, Sterling...none of them have impressed today. Allen has been our most threatening player.
  3. Fucking hell. They look more likely to add a second than we do break them down.
  4. Really hard to see any way back here. We haven't have the creative nous to truly break them down, and it's hard to see where it could come from.
  5. Commentator helpfully reminding us that we haven't won from a half-time deficit since January 2011.
  6. Fucking hope it's not Allen who goes off for Sturridge.
  7. A bit late, but Sturridge looks like he's getting ready.
  8. Sterling should have gone down there, we need to be more cynical against them.
  9. Reminds me of the 2007 CL final - Very comfortable yet lacking a cutting edge against unambitious opponents, but concede on half-time and are then open to a sucker punch as we hunt the equaliser. Coming back to draw from here will require something above and beyond all we've shown this season.
  10. Yes, but we cannot afford anything but wins against Palace and Newcastle, because there's absolutely no way City are dropping points if we slip up.
  11. They're by far and away the best defensive team in world football, perhaps of all-time. It's cynical, it's ugly, but it works. They're good enough at their game when they don't have a cushion, but almost impossible to break down when they do. We 'let it slip' and frankly, getting even a draw out of this now is a much bigger and better result than beating Arsenal 5-1 or Man Utd 3-0.
  12. No way. They're fresher, we've done all the running but rarely threatened. They're more likely to get a second on the break.
  13. There's no way we can win this game now and they're prohibitive - 1-20 at least - favourites to win it from here, but we need to throw everything at them to hunt the draw. Get Lucas off, perhaps a defender too and go all-out.
