After the first half though, we should have been at least one goal up. LOL at Yorky pulling a starmandb to show that Citeh didn't get dominated. Sorry mate, we were easily the better team, and the goal was coming. If it was 0-0 at the end of the first half then there would have been no tactical change from Mancini to stiffle our play, and chances are the second half would have been more of the same, and the goal would definitely have come.
The defence did brilliantly other than a complete f**k up for the goal.
The second half was just frustraiting... neither team stood out, it was cagey, and bar a few counters from both teams (more Citeh) it was boring! We did well to push on the last 15 and win the point. Would really have loved to have seen a change at the 60 minute mark rather than the 70th though.

Why wouldn't he have changed things? Of course he would, it was an obvious sub that everyone could see needed to happen.
Why should you of been a goal up before half time? You didn't do anything to warrant a goal.
You seem to forget your goal came from a defensive f**k up and apart from the shot leading to the corner you scored from, you never threatened.
How someone as good as Aguero missed his chance I don't know. Mannone made a class save from Dzeko as well.
Yet nobody on here seems to think City came close to winning it, only Arsenal...

But yeah aerially I don't like zonal either
