Oh my!

Imagine if Sterling was any good. It would be ten already ;)

You don’t become that shit over night. He’ll come good

I do like this shape of not playing a striker and giving the rags defence no one to mark then run at them from midfield.

We should maybe do this if /when we play foxes in the final?

 

[Dax777]

If that was Liverpool it would be the greatest performance ever.

We are good though. Raz needs a rest to regain form before Madrid.

He has been resting :( He just needs to snap out of the funk.

I don't think Mendy has been that bad. They tried to go after him massively early on, with Rashford and James pressing him with Wan Bissaka charging up behind him, but he weathered that with a few dodgy but successful passes, and then we just switched to Walker to take advantage of the space and after that they had to stop pressing Mendy to cover their LB.

I think he just looks a bit hesitant, like he wants to go on a big run forwards but is second guessing it and passing inside instead. Maybe in the second half he'll go for it. Remember his biggest strength is crossing and he's literally got no one to cross to. He's defended James well when they did counter early on.


Sterling has also been great apart from his finishing. He put Bernardo through on goal when he was wrongly flagged on side, he's been part of the goals, he's rotating well in the front 3.

They clearly singled him out for the press but stupidly forgot the space it gives us when the play is switched and they have overloaded on one side..

Funny how all ex city players tow the line on sky! Why didn’t he just laugh and say a foul really no way.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Tyler like he’s at a wake.

Much better than him roaring 'Rooooneyyy' with his Utd dildo up his arse as he did for years with utter glee.

 

[Bluemanc100]

I like Micah but he's talking bollox there. No way a foul.

He said he’s seen them given.... we all have

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Having looked at the team Guardiola picked I didn't see this coming. Seems he knows the difference between a tictac and a tactic.

Agreed. I didn’t know what to expect.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Micah reckons Mahrez fouled the defender now....is he on drugs?

He said you see some refs give em and some refs not which is exactly true.

 

[Ban-jani]

Do you want to tar and feather me now lads lol

Yes?

 

[manchester blue]

Fuck me Micah, can't believe he just said that third could have been a foul. He must be getting paid well by SKY

I feared the worse when it went to VAR.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Well, that went better than expected and we are 3 up with 3 on the break goals. Solid in midfield and at the back but good grief, we have been impotent down the left hand side with the Mendy/Raz link up not really working.
I'm annoyed with Raz, he has missed a couple of sitters and has lost the ball every time it has been near him. We were 2 up at home to that shower of pap and he missed a couple of sitters and we ended up losing...if they come back to 3-2 or something here I'll be livid.
Haven't even been great, they have been awful at the back.
we are supremely effective down our right and downright mediocre down our left hand side.
Should be 4/5 up....changed days.

 

[SebastianBlue]

I apologise for saying Mendy is giving me kittens :)

That is a wholesome mental image so it is allowed. ;-)

 

[manlikepep]

I’ve really missed the fast quick passing the teams playing really well

 

[tommo74]

There’s a difference between commenting on a mistake and calling the leading scorer “a fucking clown” isn’t there.

That’s why.

Not really mate no, people slating a keeper for 1 mistake, saying hope he never starts again for the club, and also people in thread today saying only person who will loose us the game today is bravo, yep all constructive that isn't it

 

[deano ou812]

I like Micah but he's talking bollox there. No way a foul.

No he said don’t think that’s a foul but if he was the defender he’d want a foul for it but didnt actually say it was a foul .

 

[rowarta]

if you want a half time laugh

 

[super_city_si]

Have they told Micah to change subdued? It’s like a Fucking funeral

 

[mccity]

Micah reckons Mahrez fouled the defender now....is he on drugs?

I reckon he's being polite because of the score in all honesty. If it were 0-0 and that goal was disallowed he'd have a differing opinion.

love it if sergio comes on for the last 30 mins when there fucked
