City have two left footed centre halves today, which is unusual.

Kick off Redmen, Studga to Suarez

1 Reina makes a beauty save from Silva

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #5 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:02:12 pm »

2 - Corner taken, cleared by Henderson, here we come on counter, oh no its Downing, City block, comes back to Downing, offside

Corkboy · « **Reply #6 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:02:20 pm »

Downing starts out right.

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #7 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:03:19 pm »

3 - City on the attack, cleared by Reina, we're passing it about a bit now, Studga fouled on halfway line, FK reds

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #8 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:04:25 pm »

4 - Johnson throw in on the right, we lose it, here come City again,

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #9 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:04:54 pm »

5 - Zabletta tries a run but its out for our throw, lofted up the field back to Hart

Corkboy · « **Reply #10 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:06:04 pm »

If we have a player on the left side (apart from Enrique) it seems to be Henderson. Maybe he's a false winger...

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #11 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:06:07 pm »

6 - Good defending from Glen, GK Reds, they dick about in the box and Reina boots upfield, City have it back

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #12 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:06:53 pm »

7 - Henderson fouled near the Center Circle, hes so dreamy,

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #13 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:07:33 pm »

8 - Here come city again, Agger plays a silly ball to Reina, out for a corner. #Daft

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #14 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:08:53 pm »

8 - Henderson wins it on the left to start an attack, pass too hard from lucas (I think) and City have it back.

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #15 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:09:53 pm »

10- City handball on halfway line, our FK. Not too much happening so far, both teams look solid, we're a bit hoofy

We need to find out who the lucky commentators on RAWK are, and leave the rest out

I'm sure it's affecting results

Pulled away at work - someone take over?

Corkboy · « **Reply #18 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:13:41 pm »

I got it.

Corkboy · « **Reply #19 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:14:26 pm »

13 Johnson's ball over the top for Sturridge, Hart misses it and Zabaleta with a last ditch challenge.

Corkboy · « **Reply #20 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:15:32 pm »

14 Corner comes to naught and Johnson clatters Silva for a free around halfway.

Corkboy · « **Reply #21 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:17:36 pm »

15 Enrique and Gerrard wriggle it out of left back and it ends up with Suarez, who humiliates Clichy before winning the corner, which Carragher almost scores from. You heard me.

Corkboy · « **Reply #22 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:19:07 pm »

18 Silva dinks one over the back four for Dzeko who handles it.

Corkboy · « **Reply #23 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:20:37 pm »

19 Henderson wins it for Sturridge to bomb down the wing and square it for Suarez who slices horribly.

Corkboy · « **Reply #24 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:21:20 pm »

20 Lescott blocked down and Suarez has a go on his left which skims by the upright.

Corkboy · « **Reply #25 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:21:52 pm »

21 Brilliant tracking by Enrique who robs Milner.

Corkboy · « **Reply #26 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:23:30 pm »

22 Dzeko, goal.

Corkboy · « **Reply #27 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:24:17 pm »

23 Milner out left swings a low cross in which beats Agger and Dzeko finishes easily from a few yards out.

Corkboy · « **Reply #28 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:26:27 pm »

25 Sturridge (who is being booed by the home crowd) wins a free off Lescott. Downing pings one to Henderson who is outside the box, he messes it back to Downing who is then offside.

Corkboy · « **Reply #29 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:29:23 pm »

28 Sturridge, goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Corkboy · « **Reply #30 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:30:31 pm »

28 25 yards out, central position, Gerrard rolls him the ball and Sturridge smacks one down low to Hart's left. Dzeko was down at the time.

Oh, and Sturridge didn't celebrate.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #31 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:31:15 pm »

31' Dzeko gets the yellow for having a go at the referee and linesman.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #32 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:33:34 pm »

32' The referee is allowing the game to flow which seems to be working well so far. Possession for us in the City box, Suarez trying to spin his way through, settles for a corner.

Gerrard to take it, deep one and the ball goes out for a goal kick.

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #33 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:33:42 pm »

GOOD OLD STUDGA

thegoodfella · « **Reply #34 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:35:00 pm »

34' Milner wins the flick, Carra able to get ahead of Aguero and stops the attack. City has the possession, another ball forward to Dzeko but the move is eventually cleared.

Corkboy · « **Reply #35 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:35:49 pm »

Sturridge is on today, just beat two City players to an 80 yard Reina ball and then danced around them for a while.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #36 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:36:00 pm »

36' Henderson gets a yellow for a late tackle on Milner.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #37 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:37:38 pm »

37' Good pass forward to Luis, but the defender gets a foot in at the right time and the ball deflects of Luis. City on the ropes here.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #38 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:38:42 pm »

38' Another attempt to release Sturridge early but the pass is too strong.

Corkboy · « **Reply #39 on:** February 3, 2013, 04:38:49 pm »

We seem to be 4 4 1 1 without the ball.
