FC Basel V Manchester City - Post-Match Thread

[East Level 2]

Aah the joy of the mute button. Listened in at the final whistle then muted it again. Praise through gritted from those twunts.
Ooh Vince interview; I'll un-mute it.

#...Oh you lucky Basel, it should've been Chive!

WELL THERE WAS PLENTY OF THYME..

Just skimmed through the BBC live feed to discover that City didn't play today.

 

[Bluemoon dan]

Well that should guarantee another dozen or so pages on the 'empty seats' thread after the 2nd leg then....

Strange game, some fantastic performances and some pretty woeful ones, but in the end a fantastic win. Bernardo Motm for me with Gundogan not far behind, they ran them ragged.

on the point of ragged, jesus our defence. Kompany was dead in the water as soon as they hit even the simplest ball over the top, while Fabian Delph spent the entire game getting dribbled past and giving the ball away. Luckily Ederson seemed to terrify their attackers into fucking everything up. Nico not a whole lot better either but at least wasn't constantly out of position of having people run straight past him like the others.

Great result and great to get some minutes in the returning players legs as Sane, Silva and Delph all looked incredibly rusty.

Feel sorry for Sane, he ain`t getting his place back from Bernado in any hurry.

now allows to go full-strength v Wigan, Arse and Chelsea and rotate for the 2nd leg. Perfect.

Dont say that i am going to the home match, want a full team out please.

 

[Бравый Дератизатор]

One of the best games i've seen this deason. F****g awesome!

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Absolutely outstanding. We have a great chance to win it no doubt about it.
Play a shadow side in the 2nd leg.
