Hazard is some player! Hope he scores more, good for my Fantasy Football team and keeps Southampton gaining on us :)
 
Beautiful goal from hazard but poor first half. Hopefully that goal wakes us up.
 
Oh well ... Should have won but stupid goal we conceded. City are on a great run but they will drop points eventually
 
Weird game. Fabregas carved them open on his own a number of times and we somehow only ended 1 shot on target.
 
Players such as Schurrle just haven't got going this season. Hopefully he starts to produce in the new year. Anyways at the halfway point into the season, I would give us a 8/10. Can't really complain much since we only lost once but hopefully we start killing teams off early more and become better at holding onto 1-0 leads
 
Sean Dyche you ******* legend. Holding City to a draw at home with the same 11 who played 2 days before. No wonder they call him the Ginger Mourinho ;)
 
Wow we got away with one today didn't we ladies and gents? Although i felt we done just enough to win the game today we must lay praise on Southampton's defending today especially as they were without first choice fullbacks Bertrand and Clyne. Overall though i felt we didn't test Forster enough today, to many passes around the box and trying to get around out wide but the deliveries being very very poor.


Personally i felt Luis and Ivanovic were our worst performers today but most players struggled to turn up aside from Hazard, Matic and Fabregas (this is becoming a common theme). Hazard's goal was sublime, literally something out of nothing and he looked like the only player who was making things happen. I do feel we missed Oscar's presence today, his willingness to shoot on sight and pass and move ability was needed in the final 3rd.


On the penalty call we just cannot complain about it with the 4 dives our players have done in the recent past. Yes refs should be impartial when they cross that white line but they are not, they are human after all.


Frustrating game but the day was made sweet when Burnley managed to come back from 2 down and get a point at the Etihad! Now we have two ways we can feel about today's goings on. 1. Be annoyed we could be 5 points clear or 2. Thankful we are still 3 points clear having come away from a tough away fixture (our 3rd game in 7 days). I'll just say i'm personally in the number 2 camp, THANK YOU BURNLEY FC!

Frank Lampard lambasted by football fans in New York after snubbing them to stay at Man City - Telegraph

Its his choice obviously but it certainly makes those who subscribe to the theory that he was only there to 'keep fit' look foolish now. Unfortunately, he has lost some respect in my eyes but all the best to him. He will probably get jeered badly if he ever does okay for New York City FC

I'm fine with Lampard spending his last years at City: we didn't want him and it's fine for him to go elsewhere, especially if he's getting decent playtime at a CL club.

However, this really needs to be looked into by both authorities. More than a whiff of fraud about it, sadly.

Eh I am okay if he wants to spend his last years at a CL club. I just don't know why he had to lie about it. Plus the fact that he used NYFC as a smokescreen to extend the loan. Also it's pretty clear now how City are manipulating their feeder club network. If I was a NYFC season ticket holder, I would demand a refund immediately
