Dinamo Zagreb (H) post match thread

[shadygiz]

You have some links? This I gotta see! Had to listen at work with the sound down.

Sterling the difference today. I actually thought we played pretty well, save Mendy's crossing. DZ defended really well all evening.

nah mate, wont get any highlights with the commentary. Cant see them mentioning on the highlights shows

 

[bluebaja]

Rodri is a man of the match contender every week. The guy is phenomenal.

Same here. The way he has just slotted into this team is incredible, fair play to the scouting staff though. A great player to watch and hopefully many years yet as a Blue.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Job done absolutely delighted for Foden scoring at the end,should have 6 or 7,now onto VAR what is the fucking use of this if it not correcting piss poor decisions two stonewall pens within what 30 secs to a minute of each other it’s laughable,surely ffs some of the biased media will come out and call what’s going on fucking feed up with it ...

When even the BT commentators can’t believe the refereeing decisions you know they are bad.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

genuinely believe we were just unlucky in the first half, zigged when we should have zagged maybe.

Three pens a handball not given and a handball incorrectly given is piss poor officiating by anybody’s standards surely. If I worked at city I would be writing a shitty letter to UEFA, asking for an explanation.

Raheem was great when he came on and Phil really needs a start. I trust pep has kept his powder dry for a reason but hopefully Phil has earned a start tonight.

 

[sir baconface]

I think Phil was signalling he isn’t going anywhere. Hope so.

 

[SebastianBlue]

It’s like we got Busquets and Xavi in one player.

I’ll be off my duties for a bit while I think about that in privacy, try not to do anything untoward until I get back from doing something untoward.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Played well overall, need better finishing but fucking hell VAR.

Is it just me or has it only been detrimental to us?

Seems like it doesn't it. Wasn't even checked by var that penalty shout, the lying twats.

 

[Barcon]

I thought the ref did a good job despite missing four penalties and letting them kick us all over the pitch. Nice hair.

 

[SiMCFC]

It's crooked as fuck and exactly the reason why I have missed my first-ever Champions League home game tonight, having refused to go on the scheme again.

Well done to those Blues whose patience hadn't been stretched to the limit yet.

Three fucking nailed on penalties and this whole wanker system is being used to suit whatever it needs to fuck us over.

Rodri was excellent again.

Exactly why i've sat at home watching it on the TV in the background with sound off whilst doing some work, the competition stinks to high heaven, I wouldn't have gone tonight even if i'd got a free ticket.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Got there in the end, happy for foden! sterling changed the game when he came on, we need to be more clinical because it was farcical the amount of chances we wasted. VAR is fucking useless, should've had 3 penalties tonight.

 

[kaz7]

Trying to get phil to moan about game time

 

[welsh_andy]

phil looks fucked, Raz not even a sweat

 

[Postman Pep]

2 pens denied in one phase of play forearm in the face of gundo clear trip on kun and nothing.....The only chance of winning this thing will be taking VAR out of the equation by being ultra clinical

 

[Josh_D]

Raz wants Foden in the National team. He’s not the only one that sees that the England midfield is shite.

 

[Fame Monster]

Did you decide that before the game? It's between them who was mom.

I've seen enough of them there to form the opinion they're poor together but even tonight, they both didn't connect well at all and they're both not great finishers hence why we struggled to break Dinamo down until Sterling came on.

Both of them had ok games, I wouldn't say they were man of the match contenders though.

 

[gingerprince]

Was the ref paid a bonus every time he purposely got in the way of our players on the ball?

 

[simon23]

sloppy at times but always in control.

Rodri immense again.

Awesome finish by Foden - made it look so easy when it was anything but.

Ferna outstanding as well

Gundo - still not sure what he does more than others to get in the team - he seems to make us a little worse when he is on. Occasional flashes of brilliance (that little combo of turns in the midfield at one point was sublime) but its too little too often.

Cancello - didnt realise he had such pace. But someone needs to tell both fullbacks that thye dont have to hit every cross as hard as they can!

Zagreb got what they deserved - absolutely fuck all....has there ever been as negative team come to the Ethiad in any competition...jesus even lower league teams in cups put out at least a little attacking threat - the only attacking threat they had was when we occasionally gave the ball away. I think they had at least 8-9 players defending in and around their 18 yd area - shameful

 

[JULES]

thought fern had a good game

 

[mosssideblue]

Gundogan and David Silva together = Oil and water. If Foden and Bernardo had played central tonight it would have been a cricket score,

Well, they didn't and we won 2-0. Enjoy

 

[BosnianBlue]

Pep, now go and say - that's why City ans don't like UEFA.
