Well at least Foster managed to touch the ball before they scored. That's more than anyone else did.

Always next year

Why when we Play City do we always concede in the first few Mins
Every time Doh

So, we bring on attacking players, get said players forward, attack......and score. Obviously we wait until we're losing before trying this strange approach.

SSN saying we should have been 3-1 up before Sane got his 2nd. looks like we are having a right go.

Typical! I switch my computer on, go to BBC Football and see 1-1 and "West Brom on top v City", and immediately up flashes 1-2.

Yep, exactly the same for me. I knew I should have kept that meeting going till after full time.

So annoying. Admittedly this is just based on listening to commentary, but first half we sit back, men behind the ball, little attempt to get forward and we fall behind and, but for Foster, City would have been out of sight. Second half we get attacking players on, get players in the box, create chances and score. Yes, in the end we still lost but if we played like that from the start....a. we might just win a few games and b. we might just get some fans, including me, back watching.

But will Pulis take any notice?

Well

What a great 2nd half

We had a right go against a City side combined that cost just 327 Million,

Gibbs and Greg look really good signings

BUT

Why don't we play like that all the time ?

We are a top Striker away from being a really good side IF we play like that,

The chances we had at 1-1 were unbelievable,

Rondon, Morrison , HRK two golden chances the latter hitting the post when it was easier to score ,

Please Tone especially at home can we play like that all the time,

Against lesser teams we could well murder em,

But I suppose it's to much to ask Sad
