Half-time

Manchester City 1-0 Norwich City

Manchester staying in control without taking too many risks. The goal was a bad mistake by Green the Norwich goalkeeper.

 

[MadCapper]

Norwich City had an easy opp just before the half but couldn't finish.

Manchester City 1-1 Norwich City

13seconds in 2nd half

 

[fookineejit]

Manchester hits the post, still tied at 1-1.

 

[Lawrence]

It's not looking good huh?

 

[fookineejit]

Manchester pressing for a victory missing easy opportunities. Manchester should have had a PK for handball.

 

[fookineejit]

Manchester is trying for only its eighth home win out of 25 attempts since moving to their new stadium.

 

[Lawrence]

There's no overtime in soccer huh?

Final Score

Manchester City 1-1 Norwich City

Manchester left to curse missed chances and a poor refereeing call on the PK.

 

[MadCapper]

Manchester had soooo many chances and could not hit it in. Goal tender was out of goal and couldnt finish.

Terrible.

 

[MadCapper]

Plus they should have been swarded a penalty kick for use of hands.

 

[trytrytry]

just getting in . Anyone have a final or a status?

And how do you score in 14 seconds to start a half in Soccer? What was the goalie still out for Tea? please explain.

 

[MadCapper]

Manchester totally choked...

first gives up goal 14 seconds in 2nd half
then hits inside of post
then has 3 chances with goal tender out of goal
then deserved a PK for hands but refs didnt call it

they should have scored at least 3 goals!

 

[fookineejit]

Manchester City is not a team to rely on. They can win tough matches but then do badly in games they should win. The same team never turns out twice.

Despite an unlucky result tonight I would be very interested to hear Mr.Sharp's plays for the Champions League matches on Tuesday and Wednesday. There are some huge match-ups this week and I would be interested to hear where he sees the value.

 

[MadCapper]

I will speak to him late tonight or early Tuesday Morning. I am sure he is pretty upset now. I will give him some time think.

I will speak to him late tonight or early Tuesday Morning. I am sure he is pretty upset now. I will give him some time think.

I look forward to hearing his opinions. Also please communicate that we are grateful that he shares his picks with the Rx soccer forum and hope he is not too discouraged by this unlucky result tonight.

 

[MadCapper]

Will do. I let him know that he has helped some people. He is happy to help.

Hopefully he will have some good plays for tomorrow.
