Manchester City Reaction: Martinez praises his players

Last updated : 29 November 2012 By Paul Farrington

“From our point of view, I think we edged the game for 60 minutes,” assessed Martinez.

“We were so good off the ball, and defensively I thought the partnerships were very strong.“We frustrated Manchester City and kept them to just one shot on target in the first half.

“We are disappointed because on the ball we couldn’t be our normal selves. We got in great positions and had as many corners but we are better on the ball than that.

“The disappointment is we couldn’t get the first goal in that period of 60 minutes. Overall it is very disappointing to lose a football game and not get that positive result after the manner the team worked.”
