I'm not even 100% convinced Aguero meant to score ... his eyes didn't look up so either it was a 'hit an hope' or, which is what I think, he was trying to cross it for Dzeko who would be expected to be in that position. We'll never know.

I think it's shocking that Gerrard scored a used goal that he borrowed from his past self yesterday.

But didn't Yaya Toure say that the first time we played them - that was one of the hardest or most competitive games he's played in England. I don't want to sound like a whiney negative type but I think we can maybe file City under 'teams that have a hard time against us' along with Norwich and hopefully many more in the future.
However there's no doubt we played well and I thought we were holding the lead a lot better than we did against Arsenal just the stupid mistake cost us so that's an obvious improvement.
Haven't been able to read the entire topic so apologies if this has been answered already, but is Sterling injured? Why didn't Brendan bring him on in the second half against Arsenal to run at Santos and against City when Stew hadn't really been effective in the second half?
Good point, I don't think they like Rodgers's Liverpool though
I wish he wasn't even on the bench. He needs a complete break for a couple of weeks.
A break. Or going out to stud?
When was this? I thought he was out of the senior team but was picked to play in the U-21s. Did he just withdraw?
I think he was effective all match (as witnessed by the number of people on here voting him in their Top 3). He was also very effective tracking back and worked very well with Johnson in defence and bringing it out.
I stand by what I said. Arsenal is a more coherent team than City. But City has better individual players.
We are also a more coherent team than City at this point, which is why we were able to dominate them in both games despite having a much weaker squad. To succeed in football, just like in everything else, you need 2 things - idea and execution. City right now are a team without an idea. We have an idea, but keep messing up the execution. But I'd rather be in our shoes than theirs.
Ugh, do you really want to see that?
A definite angle to look at, after all both spoke Spanish.
This is what I believe. He didn't look up to see where the goal was and knew that Dzeko would be arriving in and around that area. Cross for me .... or not 😉
I don't think you actually need to look up to shoot in that situation. There's the markings for the 18-yard box on the pitch and you could get a good feel of where you are from there, plus with Reina shadowing him, he'd know that the goalmouth is empty and that any shot in that general direction would have a good chance. This being Aguero, I'd be more inclined to believe he knew what he was doing.
Really? If he tried that 100 times he maybe would have got it in the goal once or twice, notwithstanding the fact that he couldnt see if anyone was defending the goal, surely he was crossing to Dzeko who would be in a much better position to get a shot on target.
I'm not convinced that the fucker was not shot-come-crossing it. He knew it would be around the right place if he missed, but wasn't allout going for the goal. He had his back to goal the bastard..
He's gone for goal.
It was complete brilliance.
