If you shoot straight at the goalkeeper that makes it an easy chance?

Both shots were saved for corners so couldn’t have that been straight forward

So tell me what he offered that deserved a start. Or as i suspect is it just because he is local??

You said he missed 3 easy chances..I was replying to that which has turned out to be a random lie. I didn’t say he should start.

Calm down

It's weird because the first game or so Mason was putting in some really good crosses. Just head height on the 6 yard line type ones that just need a touch.

 

[covcity4life]

Man city all or nothing

"If you are full back and short you need to be very very good"

Mason thoughts?

 

[Nick]

I can see him sticking with the starting 11 from Saturday but then using Thomas, Biamou and Shipley as subs again. (Unless willis is out and Davies is back)

Not a lie. He missed 3 easy chances in my opinion. Cant claim a lie to back up your faltering argument. Notice you couldn't name any good things he does tho...

 

[Nick]

Will be interesting to see Doyle v Spearing in the middle too.

Maybe because Shipley did more in the 16 mins he was on the pitch than Hiwula had done in 36 mins of the second half. Shipley also works harder and provides better cover for Mason. Nothing to do with him being local. If he came from Timbuktu or the planet Zanussi, my opinion would be the same.

You class this as an easy chance Garry? As in you would expect a player 9 times out of 10 to score from this position?

Tap in.

Think that's what people don't get when it's pointed out we don't really create many chances, they point to things like that as an easy chance.

(His actual miss was an easy chance though)

 

[covcity4life]

Shipley missed 1 easy chance and put 2 othets on target to force a save

He did this vs 10 men in closing stages where they had to commit more men forwards

No judgement either way these are just the facts

No judgement either way these are just the facts

Though no other player did this against 10 men committing forward

 

[jordan210]

I think I must have taken. Wrong turn at some point as this doesn’t look like Blackpool pleasure beach.

None the less the sky is blue so we are due to win !

he he he he

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Personally think Shipley did enough to get a start but Hiwula needs a run to see if he can step up or not

 

[Nick]

With hiwula I think playing him out of position for too long might do more harm than good

 

[covcity4life]

Though no other player did this against 10 men committing forward

Valid point. Although would argue Thomas had similar impact just didn't get as many shots off

Fresh legs the biggest factor

Shipley came on vs Scunthorpe and couldn't trap ball. Wouldn't put him in starting 11 just yet but he's talented enough to do well in league 1 inthink

 

[CovInEssex]

Come on the boys. I sort of feel this game will be the start of an echo chamber of our season.

I'm not getting carried away, you are.

 

[Johhny Blue]

A cheeky 1-0 will do for me

1-0 in off biamou's ass cheek will do me

Looks lovely. Where is this?

Only way he’d score

When are you replying to my earlier message anyway? Or are you still trying to think of anything useful he did?

 

[jordan210]

Dominican Republic.

 

[CovInEssex]

Where's the line up man

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

No idea why but feeling 2-0 City tonight. We’ll nick one in the first half then add a late one as they push forward.

Just waiting for the train from Preston, getting excited!

 

[shmmeee]

Only other time I've used SBT Bookies I bet on virtually every city player as first scorer and we failed to score. So I've just put everything Ive got on Blackpool.

Don't let me down bad luck!

I didn’t say anything about him as a player - this is what you’re struggling to understand. If I said he’s a great player and should be starting every week then I would answer that. Let’s go back to what you originally posted, that he missed 3 easy chances which isn’t the case unless you think a player should score 9 times out of 10 from that position. Do you?

[ccfcricoh]

O'brien
Willis
Doyle
Biamou
Brown
Hyam
Ogogo
Sterling
Bayliss
Thomas
Shipley

Shipley and Thomas i think deserve their start

 

[lord_garrincha]

2nd squad without Tom Davies. Assume it's an injury... anyone know what and when?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Interesting team, bit telling Grimmer doesn’t get a start even when the teams rotated

 

[CovInEssex]

In MR we trust

 

[Nick]

Think it was said illness.

 

[Nick]

From this it seems as if we are going to go more direct to Biamou and get Thomas / Shipley and Bayliss to pick up the second ball.

Assuming Bayliss will be central.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Bayliss number 10?
