Porto (h) post-match thread

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Great result just a shame about Fern.

Oh, and Porto are a bunch of cheating cunts.

Pep better have squared off a high end brass for Walker to shower with after holding our team together.

 

[Manc in London]

At least their manager was magnanimous in defeat...

He's a grubby sod. His team reflects him well.

It was amusing that he, of all people, thought his team did not get a fair crack of the whip.

The stereotypical game of two halves. We were abysmal in the opening 45 minutes. Much better in the second half, particularly when Phil and Ferran came on. We weren't helped by the Coco the Clown impersonator with the whistle and cards. Disappointed to see Fernandinho pick up an injury.

 

[super_city_si]

Porto shitbags. Don’t expect any different from them.

pathetic 70 mins which we were somehow winning through set plays then we brought on players who are quick, technical and direct and we looked like a 70 year old who had just supped from the fountain of youth.
foden and Torres on that left side looked fantastic together.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Whoever swapped shirts with Pepe should set fire to it in the centre circle.

I am really not sure why they were arguing for the duration of the match.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Overall, incredibly uninspiring. Walker, Ferran and the result were the positives.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Made hard work of it lads,what an total wanker that Pepe is.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Pepe is a wanker

Good job you didn't miss the "e" off that lol.

 

[dickie davies]

I reckon the ref watched some highlights at half time and then realised what a shocker he was having as his second half performance was much improved

It was "same old City", struggling against a packed defence

5 bookings to nil, great result ref

We need to stick with youth where possible this season.
What a difference it made.

Thought Sterling was generally poor but he didn’t get into it until the two youngsters came on and scored and then space opened up.

We are just always strapped by injuries, but if we can win ugly until we get players back I won’t be too upset.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Good to see Pepe call out Sterling for diving, forgetting that he himself tried a Tom Daley in our box, the thick ****

I have to admit Pepe's dive did make me laugh.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Shite first half. Miles better going forward after the subs. Walker had a great game. Mahrez was poor.

Not much quality until Gundogan's free kick, but played quite well after that. Cracking goal from Torres.

Got the 3 points which is the main thing.

Pepe is a dirty twat. Ref was poor.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Came alive with Foden in midfield instead of Gundogan, Torres left with Raz drifing out to the right. Has to be the tactic going forward. Gundogan and Plodri should never play together again.

 

[Scottyboi]

Whoever swapped shirts with Pepe should set fire to it in the centre circle.

It just dived into the washing basket

 

[ami]

Ferran and Foden should start every game.

Fernandinho, hopefully just a short spell on the sidelines.

5 bookings to nil, great result ref

Pepe was booked.

 

[Ancoats blue]

Really good comeback , probably a bit fortunate to get the free kick for Gundogans goal , but we did, and he scored a beauty ..... we played much better after the break , still sloppy with our passing at times though, quality third goal from Torres to round thngs off ..... five City players booked though , and now we've lost Fernandinho for a few weeks.
