Typical! Ukraine really seem to have this luck with us, just like the first game when we should have won that too.

 

Poor goal to concede.

 

The reality is we do not have the horses to run with you guys, especially in the midfield, so we soak up the pressure and hope for a strong counter.

 

Great audition from Futcher

 

And you do a fine job at it as well! It’s just good tactics, something we lack.

 

Sounds like the commentator got the train down from London.

 

You know he's a problem because from the very first game against NI we looked a completely different team (in a bad way).

I don't think losing this would be a bad thing at all. Should eliminate any chance of Futcher getting the job and we should still qualify. Little point in turning up to the Euros with Futcher in charge.

 

Jaden hasn’t had the best of games, just seems to have been out fought most of the game.

 

Going to concede again if we’re not careful here, very poor reaction since conceding

 

I always think it's really dumb to take off the 6 when you're chasing a goal. They play a massive role in building up attacks and they always look so much more laboured if you just have a bunch of attackers on.

 

Incredible free kick!

 

yesssss 2-1 McAteeeeee

 

Thought he was pretty poor for 85 mins McAtee, but you can’t argue with those 2 late goals!

 

Seem to have turned this around, can’t knock the spirit…………..full time role for Futcher incoming

 

Team spirit back. Players bailing him out with late goals. The man is the next Southgate - promote him straight to the seniors

 

Sad really that McAtte scored those goals when becuase of the Club World Cup he almost certainly won’t be at the Euros. Nice tribute from him to George Baldock

 

If that tournament even goes ahead I'd be shocked if City didn't let McAtee go.

 

Well I wouldn't say that was almost certain.

 

Really is top class

James McAtee.

I would unless the Club World Cup is cancelled or he moves away from Man City in January. He is clearly an established bench option for them.

 

Surely you realise that those things you've stated and the fact City could willing allow him to go, make it not 'almost certain'.

 

Well, you keep on going on about all these strike actions that will happen so with any luck this Club World Cup will get cancelled.

 

Maybe. City have normally been pretty willing with allowing players to go to youth tournaments but still the Club World Cup is a big tournament but one where the less exhausted players will be very important to all teams.
