believe me keeper gets to it first. He then takes Aguero out. Is that a pen? BT sport commentators thought not. It shouldn;t have been a yellow because Aguero didn't dive. I don;t know what they said in the studio.

Watched an hours highlights. I came away thinking we deservedly won that. having seen the highlights, Monaco had as many chances as we did. WIlly made a mistake with his kicking for 1 goal, but saved us with the pen and then an incredible save from Falcao.
 
Just where do you start with a game like that?
Shocking defending all round. All it needed was an exploding clown car!
MOTM Sané - What a player. His dribble prior to give and go with Silva and pass to Sterling arriving in the box was astonishing.

Well done Sterling for leaving the last one for Sané to score. I think he would have been offside if he'd touched it.

I wasn't surprised to see a game like this with goals, people quick to pounce on bad defence but when you have fast attacking teams like this they force errors with pressure .... I can't see a nil nil at Monaco either, both teams will score

Agree. 9 game out of 10 there are 6 or 7 men behind the ball and attackers out numbered. In this game both teams threw men forward and overloaded the defence. Monaco bombed forward at every possible opportunity which was very unusual for an away side.

I didnlt realise how good our 5th goal was until I saw it on TV. Absolutely brilliant play by Aguero and Silva.
 
Monaco are an exceptional side who play the game the right way, they dont cheat and dive about rolling on the floor they just attack attack attack pleasure to watch them, having said that i thought this was our best peformance in years, forget the bits about shite defending any team playing Monaco will look shit at the back, but we were fucking awesome prompted once again by the little genius Silva and the unplayable Sane and Sterling

I wont be able to sleep for ages. Buzzing. Not sure the defending was that bad to be honest. Willy made a mistake with his goal kick, but how good were Monaco in punishing us for that. Stones was so close to denying Falaco, but then what an exceptional finish from Falaco. What was remarkable was the commitment to attack from both teams. City deserv massive credit for coming back from 2-3 and Monaco deserve credit for attacking with total commitment away from home

I was ready to declare robbery before watching the game back, but I think the ref got most right. Their pen was harsh but Falcao gets goal side of Otamendi and Otamendi lunges in. Must be first time that official behind goal gives a pen. I'm not sure whether it was but I can see what it was given for now. I cam away with a tiny feeling of what if. And we should have won by a bigger margin, but having seen the highlights I can see that Monaco had a lot of chances.

I'm not sure. The BT commentators didn't think it was a pen. keeper hits Aguero's shins but he does get the ball first. Not sure what the BT lot said at half time. The official behind the goal gave pen. Not sure that it was. It wasn't a good view. Falcao was claiming it and Otamendi was on the wrong side of him.

I've just watched the whole game, and at half time they were unanimous that Aguero deserved a penalty, rather than a yellow card for diving.

No complaints though, about their penalty. Otamendi took his legs away.
 
Just awesome to see Sergio top Falcau's chip with that monstrous volley with the defender hanging onto him. I was at the game so haven't seen BT's anti-City bias.

OK. Keeper goes through Aguero but looks like he gets a touch to ball first.

Just watched their highlights. They were pretty fair. Some majestic individual performances: Their midfielder Silva? Mbappe and Falcao, and for City Silva, AGuero, Sterling and Sane.

I thought the TV got it correct. Although you see them given, the keepers get the ball and sends it on a different trajectory, no doubt about it. However, I don't think Kun dived. Certainly no pen on Sterling and theirs is difficult to see although I thought it telling that none of them were appealing for it.

What a fantastic game. However we need to get a bit cuter. Sterling was booked for diving just like Kun not so long ago. Should have been a pen for us in both cases. Both times there was contact but our guys threw themselves forward with their trailing feet off the ground, giving the refs the chance to give the wrong decision. They should be coached to go down onto there knees and keep their feet on the ground, probably by an Italian coach. Don't give the fucking refs the chance to screw us.
