Fuck BT sport they keep going on about walkers minor touch whe City's first goal was blatant handball... justice at last.

Dude that was the most blatant pen ever! If it had been reversed we'd be screwing. A bit like they are on Bluemoon right now I'd imagine.

This is big. We stop them gaining 3 points on us. We play appalingly against a resurgent City, go two goals down and come back. To Poch, this screams resilience (every good team has bad days). To Pep, this is a potential problem: what the fuck does he have to do to get his team winning?

I'm looking at that Liverpool game now. If we can return to winning and then beat them shits then we are looking very good for top 4

Fair result. Walker should have been penalised but Sane should have been sent off for his studs on walker's leg. Not to mention their first goal was a handball.

I'm sorry but thats just bollocks. Sane caught him on the top of his boot and he wasn't even looking at his man the time. Never a sending off, clumsy challenge, yellow possibly, but sending off? Come off it. The officials had a complete shocker in general but we definitely had the biggest decision/s go our way.

If that penalty was the other way around you can guarantee it would be glossed over, just like all their fouls were "accidental". BT and Sky's bias against us is so blatant but I dont understand why they hate us so much?!

I'm still waiting for them to mention the blatant foul in the build up to the second goal.

Shows how far we have come under Poch. You can never count us out.

Eriksen, Alli, Kane, Walker, Wimmer, and especially Lloris were very poor. Kane and Alli at least had moments of brilliance.

Poch has got some worries though at CB. If Toby is also out, does he persist with an under performing Wimmer or bring in CCV?

he might have played him in different circumstances. As is stands Poch made exactly the right call to put Wanyama in defence.

We got out of jail here!

I expected a response from City and they really did play well. High pressing, committed to 50-50s and quick link up play.

Hugo made two bad errors unusually but he also kept it at 0-0 in the first half. We've been on the right end of defensive errors so were due a mistake from our own I guess.

But it sums up the mentality of Poch's players that mistakes rarely happen these days. And that at 2-0 we didn't fold. We had our moments on the break and scored two lovely worked goals.

Take the point and lets move on.

Definite penalty. But even without that they should've been several ahead and weren't. They may have missed the penalty. The positive for me is this side DOES NOT GIVE UP. Pre Poch we'd have capitulated, instead we dug in and got 2-2 from 2-0 down from what I believe was 2 shots on target.

There is a fighting spirit in this squad. I love it.

Ok We're having a bad day - but for those on this thread saying we`re legends in big games? We've beaten Man Shitty on the last 3 occasions. Against Chelski - It's 1-1 this season - Get a grip with that opinion. We don't just turn up win all the big games they go back and forth - especially when playing away. And Man Shitty - by far the better team today. TODAY. That is all. I see Swansea and Stoke were quite good today too.

We're not legends they simply played better.

Its the same when we smash teams and people say the opposition were so poor. We make them look poor and city did the same to us that first half.

2nd half they edged it but was a bit closer

That'll feel like a win coming back from 2 down. Considering everyone else relevant so far has dropped points in must win games I'll take that. Fucking well done lads.
