FC Basel V Manchester City - Post-Match Thread

Bernardo is getting better each game. hopefully PEP will have a nice problem with an abundance of talent,at his disposal. We certainly have no need to go heavy in the summer market. and think we shall go for 1-2 specific targets, What impressed me last night was the sheer camaraderie our lads have which was evident when Gundogan clashed over a nasty tackle all ten in blue raced to the scene its great to be a blue
 
there is literally nothing to moan about anymore. a fantastic performance last night. we are pretty much through now and we can just enjoy the second leg.
 
Basel player tried to chip Ederson from the halfway line when play was stopped. Ederson back-pedalled, then turned around (so he was facing his own goal) and kicked the ball away from underneath the crossbar, back over his own head high up into the air.
BT didn't show it but showed the bench all pissing themselves anybody got a clip of it?
That was worth the cost of the trip alone!!!
 
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands.
Happy yes - but @SebastianBlue has a point - long balls into our defense caused us more trouble than we'd have liked and Basel might well have scored. Otter's challenge might well have been called for a penalty on another day or by a different ref. On the other end, we were ruthlessly clinical, and Basel's keeper could have at least done much better against Silva's goal; in other circumstances, we might well have gone into half time tied or, with very bad luck, even trailing.

In short, 3-0 at halftime was flattering - 1-0 or 2-1 might have been a better reflection of our overall play to that point.
