Match Thread | B. Dortmund vs Man City (14/04/21)

[Dr Jacoby]

We need to cut out the floaty long balls. It’s a waste of time.

 

[Gaz in Zurich]

God i hope im wrong please..but i predict another half with missing chances, 1 or 2 balls hiting the bar and one disalowed goal in last minute after Pep players and us celebrated wildly! Please hope someone quote me in the final to rant me

Time for Pep to earn his corn and sort it out. Right side needs to step up or be changed. Could do with Fern in to replace Rodri who's been marked out of the game

 

[xgorton]

Back sideways back sideways, unbelievable.

 

[wolviedinho]

Only pep can give us a chance but he will not budge until 60min or we concede another. He makes the right subs we win 1-3

 

[I'm Blue]

Polish tv is going on too, can't take any more of them 2 tits.

 

[CmonCity92]

Gotta take Zinchenko off, he's been decent but we just need to go all out for it

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Don't see what sterling would bring to this game but I'd love to be mistaken if he comes on.

 

[lonestay]

Breaking news Bellingham has single handedly found a cure for cancer , the covid vacs were invented by him , he also at halftime will invent a fuel that will revolutionise the combustion engine, and will take god like status away from sir Marcus Rashford .

 

[whipper]

Loads of possession in around the box without actually looking dangerous, long 2nd half.

 

[KCblue]

Plenty of time and we're capable of scoring, so I'm not flapping, but realistically I don't see how we score short of a penalty or corner goal. They've got 8-9 behind the ball every time we push forward so there's no space throughout the middle

 

[Zenmanc]

If Pep can't get in the locker room and get in their ears after seeing this happen time and again... get them motivated to get a goal or 2 instead of hanging their heads, I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but...

 

[FantasyIreland]

Ok,we arent playing bad,in fact we are the better team....but,we have no focal point and playing around their box is music to their ears.They are defending like Trojans and breaking with pace on the occasions the opportunity arises.
We need more energy and directness,Mahrez isnt doing much out there so it makes sense to get him off and get Jesus on.Walker is well out of his depth at this level,plus hes having a stinker....get Cancelo on to create some opportunities.

 

[BlueRockape]

we just don't have a Kun : (

 

[N1985]

Come on City. 45 minutes to sort this out. 1 goal and we'll come alive.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Rodri the weak link again. Other than him, we've been good here. This is the champions league quarter final not the carabao Cup 3rd round, we're not going to twat anybody unless they're atrocious.

We've been dominant and the better side, unfortunate numerous times and they've scored a good goal in the few chances they've had.

The longer we carry on like this, the more tired they get, the more chances we should be able to fashion as long as we keep up the tempo.

Jesus has to be coming on if there's no change in the scoreline after an hour and perhaps even consider getting Rodri off and sticking gundogan deeper as time runs out.

This isn't lyon, We're playing well here, no need to panic just need to keep at it.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Almost as if it isn't just as simple as picking a perceived best eleven and winning by default.

Unlucky to be behind in all honesty, but so were they last week. Time to step up.

Want to see Sterling and Jesus on for Bernardo and Mahrez.

 

[JULES]

patience, we will still get through this

 

[wattle]

We’ve actually played some good stuff. We were lucky in the first leg and unlucky so far. Bellingham getting booked and missing the next game will effect his game massively. We’ve got to score against the defence. Only problem is they look like scoring again too. Jesus/fern on after 60 for Mahrez/Rodri if no change for me

 

[plattlanebenches]

Thought we Played ok. Need to move the ball quicker though.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Turd.

The midfield need a fucking rocket up their arse.

Silva needs taking off. It’s the QF of the CL and running around a bit, but doing nothing with the ball when playing at 8 just isn’t good enough.

The two FBs are a waste of fucking time, what is the fucking point of consistently knocking it wide to Zin and Walker to see them cut back in and play it back to the CBs? If anyone has the figures, I would love to know how many (if any) forward passes Walker has made in that whole half? Take some responsibility you fucking buck-passing tit.

We are so nauseatingly predictable at this level. Nice pretty patterns, missed chances galore and soft as shit defensively.

They collectively need to fucking man up a bit and show they fucking want this.
