Match Thread | Man City vs Lyon (15/08/20)

[Claytop]

At least we’re decent at coming from behind..

 

[SamBlue]

There is a difference between us and Bayern, they are scoring in these situations.

 

[teddykgb]

Keeper looks shaky if we can put him under more pressure he hasn’t handled much cleanly

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Bus parking of the highest order, and we can't deal with it.

 

[Damanino]

I think this would our worse knockout loss.

At least that Monaco team was formidable, champions full of good players Falcao, Bernardo, Mendy, Mbappe, Lemar, Fabinho, Moutinho...


This Lyon has nothing on that Monaco team.

 

[Blu1]

Desperate for David

Absolute nonsense mate, unless he’s got eyes in the back of his head it wasn’t a tackle to attempt to retain possession. It goes into a safe place and you put the striker on his arse - he did one of those.

You really think he was trying that? He wasn't! He was simply trying to get anything on the ball.

 

[Tez Tosterone]

Well - we have no Silva, Mahrez, Bernardo, Foden playing. It has to change at HT.

it has to be said that whilst Lyon lost to Juventus in the 2nd leg, they played the better football in both legs.

the fact that Lyon finished 7th in Ligue 1 in the season just ended counts for nothing when you realize that they are determined to win this match. Seemingly more so than we are.

 

[Metal Biker]

Seeing a lot of 30-200 posters slaggin Pep off on here tonight.

Where you all been lurking?

 

[nellyonthewing]

Bit like watching city v wolves.

 

[jimharri]

If we get through this we will need Aguero against Bayern otherwise we are going to be embarrassed.

Not a cat in hell's he'd be ready for midweek. Certainly not for a 90 minute outing.

 

[Josh_D]

If he doesn’t take off Dinho, I’d be surprised.

 

[abu13]

Cant help but think Pep has got this badly wrong tonight.

 

[kippaxchris]

Pathetic team selection, cowardly.

 

[Ken92]

So how we are <suppo<sed to beat bayern if we have no clue how to beat lyon??

 

[Dax777]

Desperate for David

No! Energy is what we need. Foden and Bernado

 

[Chi-town blues]

Why it’s every year in the CL

we got second half still to play

 

[skyblues]

Desperate for David

We need speed, so Foden and Bernardo

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Nope can't blame the officals for this.

Not a level playing field though.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Very disappointed with pep tonight
