Feyenoord (H) Post-Match Thread

A stale performance offensively; defensively, pretty solid with very few chances conceded.

Our wing play seems to die when B. Silva plays there; he's a talented player for sure, but we're much better with Sterling on the wing.

On the bright side we won the match, and gave some much needed rest to Fernandinho; Kompany too wasn't used which can only help. Diaz's short cameo was impressive. He came on very late when we were a goal up and had a chance to sprint forward with the ball which might have been a bit risky in terms of keeping possession. Instead he did not rush forward, opting to hold the ball. Also, Diaz was pressured very aggressively twice and retained possession both times. Looks like a thoughtful, skillful player.

MoTM - Sterling for me. A clutch goal, nice composed finish, late on to collect all 3 points.

I got to watch Phil Foden make his home debut (the loudest home cheer of the night) it was momentous. Quote me in 10 years maybe (haha) but those old guard who were there at Newcastle in 68 etc they wouldn't trade that memory or that cash spent getting there for anything. We as blues pretty much knew that Foden and to a lesser extent Diaz were going to get minutes last night and isnt that what we want for our club?

Exactly mate - you are blessed to have seen it live. That's a reward I don't get. Have a great week and I'll see you next week for the Southampton game. I'll be the one sat on my hands wearing the half and half scarf asking people around me when we bought a new left back

Yes, Diaz would have been absolutely shitting inside, that he knew he had to play it safe, but really wanted to beat 3 men & bust into the penalty area ;)

Good one. Given that you just said that you don’t give a fuck about a City match.

I said I didn't give a fuck about the attendance, not the match, you clown. Is your little brain able to compute the difference or is that tough for you?

I gave enough of a shit about the match to go to travel over the Pennines for it on my own, as it goes.

Whats tough for me is your big strong words over the internet. Ill meet you any time pal and you can check to see if my shirts are replica.
 
I thought we played very professionally and got the job done without busting a gut. I was watching gundog as really want him to do well but Feyenoord played him really well. He was man marked most of the game stopping him getting on the ball more. There no 10 worked really hard closing gun and kev down. But we still cruised threw the game. Never ever felt they wud score but knew we wud get one really good chance and we took it. Can’t complain

Sorry Im just pissed off because ive got detention again for smoking behind the bike sheds. Trust me I have similar hate for the Chumps League and Uefa. But love watching City regardless.

Me too pal - I'm sure I'll be at the next. Maybe we can raise a glass of non-alchoholic lager to our joint hatred of Uefa. Cheers ;-)

OK, mate. Name a time and a place and I'll be there. I'm always meeting strangers off the internet to settle arguments. It's something I think more people should do.

Deliberately getting yourself booked to incur a suspension is one thing, doing so by conceding a direct free kick on the edge of our box when the scores are level is another altogether!

Had to be done though. The scoreline was less important than KDB being booked.

To make it easy for people to come and watch can I suggest City Square on a match day or failing that somewhere local to me like Didsbury.

It's going to be easy for any match-going blue to watch because he's just PMed me asking to meet in Mary Ds before the Southampton game.

He needs to know that by 1pm I will be "in the zone". I've got two meetings that morning. One with some gobby prick from the Koi Carp forum who claimed that adding salt to your pond in winter reduces the sediment, and another with a Twitter "friend" who claims that Joy Division were depressing.

What a day this is going to be for justice.

I wasn’t trying to get into oneupsmanship over shades of blue.
However my frustration was not a wild fantasy the ground felt sparse and the non Feyenoord atmosphere genuinely was very poor last night.
Again this is not a blue vs blue contest but for me which may sound like I am a sad act but last night I got to watch Phil Foden make his home debut (the loudest home cheer of the night) it was momentous. Quote me in 10 years maybe (haha) but those old guard who were there at Newcastle in 68 etc they wouldn't trade that memory or that cash spent getting there for anything.

Sure the prices at City are sometimes unjustifiable maybe last night was a statement from fans, lower the price or stuff your Champions League. I don’t know.

City support was pretty bobbins last night. But say that on here and you always get the same responses about people having 900 mile round trips to make and you think you're a bigger blue because you actually could be arsed to go. But when you're getting pissed in Kiev and people are bitching on Bluemoon about not being able to get a ticket, just remember you earned it

1pm is a bit early for me given it's an evening KO, can you stream it via FB! If your Twitter 'friend' though JD were depressing what did he/she think of Morrisey
