Morpheus Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Said we'd get slaughtered and we won. Fantastic result for both the team and the manager. Edited September 28, 2013 by Morpheus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted September 28, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2013 Just home and feeling great! Thought we would be hammered after the Spurs game, but SOMEHOW we pulled it off! When I saw our 5-3-2 formation, it brought back terrible memories of January but clearly Luna and Bacuna were much suited to the system than Lowton and Bennett and it worked. Was very impressed by both but three hours later still don't quite understand how we won! Just shows how spirit can occasionally win against the odds.

terrytini Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Those who think we had a crap first half - we nearly went in all square against a side who destroyed Man U in the First Half last week. Yes they got through us several times but that is THEM - they are a top side . we defended doggedly (except form short corners) and tried to go forward as a unit - Guzan actually had very little to do, and containing a side is a valid part of the performance. Would you prefer we had played some open exciting stuff and gone in 3-0 down ? Actually I thought we did well to come through that half only one down, and that gave us the platform to stay in with a chance in the Second half, when we showed the same qualities but were then hugely bouyed by the goal and the great support - which follwed it, shame that, we used to get behind them no matter what - terrific. How many teams will beat Arsenal and Man City this season ? Very very few. Bacuna outstanding, as was KEA and Delph. Don't think this has been mentioned, but where the **** did 5 mins added time come from? Agree - scandalous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Don't think this has been mentioned, but where the **** did 5 mins added time come from? In fairness Kozak went down when the clock was at 88:30 and play didn't restart until just after 90 so that was 90 seconds. I'm guessing if it hadn't have been for that they'd have added on 3/4 minutes which is pretty standard. There were 4 goals in the second half so if each celebration lasted 30 seconds that's 2 mins there. Add in subs, general stoppages and the Kozak injury mentioned above and I feel 5 was fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AValon Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Well, considering we're a 'one-man' team, I think we did pretty alright. Frighteningly one-sided first half, but second half a team who cost a fraction of their illustrious opponents showed what a little belief, endeavour and heart can achieve. And we have a proper diamond in Bacuna, if he can deliver like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie09 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I said to my lads at 30 mins we were growing into the game as Kompany aprt I thought their defence looked suspect.Typically we concede just before half time which could've rocked our confidence but credit to each and every one of them for the second half performance. Yes we rode our luck, Nasri was causing us problems but he should've been booked for arguing with the ref at the end of the first half so I think he was subbed before he got a second yellow. Toure was also getting agitated which was a result of getting in their faces second half. I gave Delph MOTM but it could've gone to any number of them. It's my birthday tomorrow so the weekend has started with a bang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 That's why we love this game. Still don't know how we won it but who cares. They should never have taken Nasri off, he was killing us, glad he did though. Great determination fromk the whole team and what a tackle from Baker on Milner at the head.

tonyh29 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Shows the spirit in the camp! Players seemed to be running to the bench after each goal to celebrate with someone Was it Lowton ? Thought it showed squad spirit as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I'd like to think there's a small part of James Milner that misses being an integral part of upsets like the one today rather than a bit-part in a bigger pond :-) It'll only be a small part, granted. I wouldn't think so really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, we had a bit of luck with the offside goal from what I hear, and we deserved our luck. I say this because we were denied a clear penalty to make it 1-1 v Spurs on Tues. Also, last season away at City I seem to remember the officials gifting them 2 goals through shoddy decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
