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

[01282]

They doubled up anytime he got it. They know it, and we know that Foden would skin their fullback. He’s coming inside and Zinchenko going out wide but he’s not utilising the ball. In those scenarios I’d rather have Cancelo as he can beat a man and plays some occasional good crosses when he cuts in. Pep just needs to ram it home that he shouldn’t be complacent with his passing and such.

Good point. Zin got so much room but not doing anything with it. He keeps doing the Wayne Bridge check back inside move.

Need raz on now no point waiting 25 mins pep. Stick him up front & drop Kev a bit deeper to ping it around. He has to change it NoW

Many, many people wanted him hung, drawn and quartered on Saturday. Funny how he’s a better player when sat on the bench.

Does Pep makes a sub before 70th minute?

Does he make one before 2-0 to Dortmund?

5 subs he can do but probably will be doing 1 only, hope not too late.

He needs to have a bit of a gamble here I think but I can see why he might not

I just hope we give it a proper go rather than a whimper

 

[DTKOAG]

Please City just shut Ian Darke up.

 

[Kippax77]

Fuck it bring Mendy on as a number 9.
Jenas will wank himself to death

 

[kupest]

Fernandinho on for Stones, just go for it.

 

[Goater=Legend]

We're just not clinical upfront unfortunately.

Positives are that we staeted to play our normal game after a shaky start. We just need that belief that we will score, and I hope pep doesn't wait too long to change things if we haven't scored yet

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Not got a good feeling about this.

 

[Claytop]

I can't believe our luck in UCL games. Absolute dog shit!

Not sure we can still say that after last week?!

 

[super_city_si]

The big worry with us is that we rarely turn it around when we go behind. Got a feeling it will be another one of those nights where we end up rueing missed opportunities.

Weve all seen this film before....

Jude Bellingham is officially the youngest player ever to be wanked off by a tv station

Post of the nite

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Has all the hallmarks of Saturday's match this at the moment

 

[dublinblue12]

Only failed to score in 3 games (?) all season. Surely we will put at least one away?

 

[mancity7]

They are blowing out of their arses, Bellingham walked off saying fuck me and blowing his cheeks out. Another 15 mins and they will be shot, just got to keep going and it will come, come on blues!!

In fairness I think we have reacted well and we’re unlucky not to equalise.
Gundogan looks really up for it.
The longer it is 1-0 the more nervous they will be that one goal for them will put them out.

If they catch us on the break while we’re going for goal, we’ll 2-0 isn’t much different for us really. We still need a goal.

They are defending well but are getting pushed further and further into their own box. If the second half stays that way they will need to be very lucky to keep us out for another 45 minutes.

I’ve not given up.

That’s the spirit mate.. I’ll have one in my beer ;)

 

[Jamiblue]

Is it just me or are some of the decisions Walker makes are just baffling...

 

[Semper aggressus]

The Mahrez chance sums us up when not taking chances. Occasionally you just need to put your foot through it and when you do that, and someone is on the line, the chances are it’ll still go in. For some reason we have to slap at every chance we get these days.

I think rather than occasionally you always need to put your foot through it. So many of our shots are too weak. Need someone with anger that smashes every fucking shot with intent to burst the net or the keeper’s nose.

Seeing how the CL officials are I dont expect them to give any extra time

 

[sir baconface]

Anyone know how old Jude Bellingham is...?
